  2. 1. Serological markers in subclinical and clinical gluten enteropathy

    Author : Ewa Grodzinsky; Claes Hallert; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed for the measurement of anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA), thereby providing a practical and cheap assay for use in the diagnosis of coeliac disease (CD). Since gliadin is a common food antigen for most people, a large group of apparently healthy blood donors (n=l866) was analysed, as well as children and adults with symptoms more or less suggesting CD.

  4. 2. Sexually transmitted infections: serological, microbiological and microscopical aspects

    Author : Matilda Berntsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; herpes simplex virus; seroprevalence; Epstein-Barr virus; cytomegalovirus; urethritis; cervicitis; STI;

    Abstract : The prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STI) is high in the adult populations world-wide but varies between populations and time periods. Since a high proportion of infected individuals are asymptomatic, diagnostic approaches to reduce further transmission and complications are essential. READ MORE

  5. 3. Automated serological technique with special emphasis on a solid phase test for red cell antibody detection in routine blood banking

    Author : Suzanne Sallander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : solid phase; RBC antibody screening; alloimmunisation in pregnancy; automation;

    Abstract : Automated serological techniques for erythrocyte antigen typing and antibody screening are presented and evaluated in a larger number of samples and throughout routine processing. Both techniques are microplate-adapted with computerised sample identification, sample and reagent dispensing, and interpretation of results. READ MORE

  6. 4. Methods for detection of HIV-2/SIV infections

    Author : Lilian Walther Jallow; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The main objective of this thesis was to develop and improve laboratory methods for detection of HIV-2 in infected humans and detection of HIV-2/SIV in experimentally infected cynomolgus monkeys. Early in the HIV epidemic no assays were commercially available for detection of HIV-2/SIV infections and laboratory testing often relied on cross-reactivity in the assays. READ MORE

  7. 5. Etiological risk factors and clinical characteristics of childhood non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Uganda

    Author : Jackson Orem; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Epstein-Barr virus;

    Abstract : Introduction: Incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) has increased greatly over time, especially in children. Improved diagnostic methods alone cannot explain this increase, especially the increase observed in sub-Saharan Africa, where diagnostic capabilities are low. READ MORE
