  2. 11. Hepatitis B virus RNA in serum and liver tissue - quantification using digital PCR

    Author : Kasthuri Prakash; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hepatitis B virus; NTCP; HBV DNA; HBV RNA; subviral particles; integrations; droplet digital PCR;

    Abstract : Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global health issue that is responsible for approximately 900,000 deaths each year, by inducing liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A few markers are used to classify HBV infection and monitor treatment efficacy, including HBV DNA, surface antigen (HBsAg) and e antigen (HBeAg) in serum as well as HBV DNA and RNA in liver tissue.

  4. 12. Structure of small RNA phages

    Author : Kaspars Tars; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; bacteriophage; MS2; virus assembly; structural evolution; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : Small RNA phages belonging to the family Leviviridae are among the simplest known viruses. They have been used extensively as models for studies of various problems in molecular biology, including protein-RNA interactions, repression of translation, virus assembly and virus evolution.

  5. 13. Molecular Breeding of Sugar Beet, Transformation, Transgene silencing, Virus and Herbicide resistance

    Author : Marie Mannerlöf; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Agrobacterium tumefaciens; BNYVV; coat protein; CP4epsps; gene silencing; glyphosate; herbicide; rhizomania; transformation; sugar beet; Beta vulgaris L.; virus; Plant biochemistry; Växtbiokemi;

    Abstract : The main objectives in sugar beet breeding, are to improve yield, quality and to develop disease resistance. The disease resistance may be developed either by conventional, or molecular breeding techniques. The molecular breeding techniques include, methods to genetically engineer plants for expression of introduced genes. READ MORE

  6. 14. Exploration of analytical methods to study motif-mediated host-virus protein-protein interactions

    Author : Eszter Kassa; Ylva Ivarsson; Gilles Travé; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein-protein interaction; short linear motif; affinity purification-mass spectrometry; virus; SARS-CoV-2; TBEV; Analytical Chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

    Abstract : Proteins are responsible for countless processes in living creatures, but most often they do not perform these tasks alone. Rather, they engage in interactions with other proteins, creating whole protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. READ MORE

  7. 15. Structure and Dynamics of the Hepatitis B Virus Encapsidation Signal Revealed by NMR Spectroscopy

    Author : Sara Flodell; Stephan Grzesiek; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : HBV; RNA; isotope labelling; NMR; structure determination; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the study of the three-dimensional structure and dynamics of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) encapsidation signal, epsilon, by means of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mutational data. HBV replicates by reverse transcription of an RNA pregenome into the viral DNA genome, which becomes enclosed in viral particles (encapsidation). READ MORE
