  2. 1. The role of non-coding single-stranded oligonucleotides on Respiratory syncytial virus infection

    Author : Sandra Axberg Pålsson; Anna-Lena Spetz; Annika Karlsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Respiratory syncytial virus RSV ; single-stranded oligonucleotide ssON ; small non-coding RNA sncRNA ; nucleolin; virus infection; antiviral; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an enveloped RNA virus of the Pneumoviridae family. RSV is reported to infect host cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis, also called clathrin-dependent endocytosis. Many reports indicate that the virus utilizes the host receptor nucleolin for entry.

  4. 2. Molecular Diagnosis of Common Viral Infectious Diseases Based on Real-Time PCR

    Author : Nahla Mohamed; Jonas Blomberg; Jan Fohlman; Elgh Fredrik; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecular biology; Microbiology; Virology; rTth DNA polymerase; UNG; QPCR; RNA virus; broadly targeted PCR; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Molecular biology has become an integral part of the diagnosis of infectious diseases. Recently, quantitative real-time PCR (QPCR) methods (often in the form of so-called TaqMan® systems) have been developed for the diagnosis of a wide range of infectious diseases; these techniques found valuable clinical application in the diagnosis and evaluation of progress and therapeutic success of viral diseases.

  5. 3. Human immune responses to SARS-Cov-2 and influenza A virus infection : from myeloid-derived suppressor cells and T cell functions to antibody responses

    Author : Meng Yu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Acute respiratory viral infections are the most frequent reason for medical consultations in the world. They cause substantial illness and death every year, especially in young children, the immunocompromised and the elderly, with a large span of disease severity ranging from mild to fatal. READ MORE

  6. 4. Dangerous Proteins and Where to Find Them- Structural and functional studies of bacterial and viral proteins interacting with human immune receptors in health and disease

    Author : Sibel Uzuncayir; Medicinsk strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Proteins; immunology; structural biology;

    Abstract : Bacteria and viruses are threats to human that evolved strategies to bypass the immune system and can cause massive damage. Understanding these strategies and elucidating pathogen interacting partners within the human immune system will pave the way for discovery of new medicines and increase human well-being. READ MORE

  7. 5. An electrostatic sampling device for point-of-care detection of bioaerosols

    Author : Laila Ladhani; Wouter van der Wijngaart; Jorma Keskinen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electrostatic sampling; bioaerosols; point-of-care; breath sampling; electrostatic precipitation; microfluidic collection; corona discharge; air sampling; non-invasive diagnostics; exhaled breath analysis; on-site detection; aerosol sampling; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Bioaerosols are not only a significant factor of air quality but contribute greatly to the spread of infectious diseases, specifically through expired pathogen-laden aerosols. Clear examples of airborne transmission include: the recent influenza pandemic of 2009, the ongoing tuberculosis epidemic, and yearly norovirus out- breaks, which affect millions of people worldwide and pose serious threats to public healthcare systems.
