2. 16. Liposomes for mucosal vaccine delivery: physicochemical characterization and biological application

   Author : Karin Norling; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nanoparticles; vaccine carriers; antigen presentation; dendritic cells; surface plasmon resonance; flow cytometry; liposomes; cellular uptake; fluorescence microscopy; influenza;

   Abstract : Liposomes are attractive vaccine carriers due to their potential to act as adjuvants, and to the fact that their composition and characteristics are virtually endlessly customizable. However, the precise physicochemical profile of an ideal carrier liposome for mucosal vaccines is still widely unknown, and how different properties affect key steps in the acquisition of protective immunity remains to be elucidated.

4. 17. More or Less IgE : Therapeutic Vaccines, Adjuvants and Genes and Their Effect on IgE Levels

   Author : Anna Ledin; Lars Hellman; Kjell-Olov Grönvik; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; IgE; Immunoglobulin; Atopic allergy; Vaccine; Adjuvant; Dog; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

   Abstract : Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is an important mediator in atopic allergies. This thesis describes the development of a therapeutic vaccine against IgE and its effects in rats and dogs. The development of an assay to determine IgE levels in dogs, and the finding of a chromosome region in rats that affects IgE levels are also reported. READ MORE

5. 18. Gastrointestinal norovirus infections and the development of the next generation of mucosal vaccines

   Author : Inga Rimkute; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; human norovirus; gastrointestinal infection; mucosal vaccine; subcomponent vaccine; human intestinal enteroids; histo-blood group antigens; lipidomics; glycoproteomics; glycosphingolipids;

   Abstract : Human norovirus (HuNoV) is the causative agent of the winter vomiting disease and the leading cause of outbreaks of gastrointestinal infections across all settings and age groups in the world. The virus is highly contagious making outbreaks difficult or often impossible to control and having a high impact on societal costs and resources. READ MORE

6. 19. Implementation of strategies for management and prevention of sexually transmitted infections with focus on Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis

   Author : Ronza Hadad; Magnus Unemo; Hans Fredlund; Susanne Jacobsson; Kate Seib; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neisseria gonorrhoeae; epidemiology; whole-genome sequencing; antimicrobial resistance AMR ; Chlamydia trachomatis; vaccine; strategies; management and prevention;

   Abstract : Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a public health issue of great importance worldwide, with effects on fertility and reproduction. Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, causative agents of chlamydia and gonorrhoea, respectively, are the most common bacterial STIs with an estimated 127 million new global cases of chlamydia and 87 million new gonorrhoea cases.

7. 20. Vaccine effectiveness against HPV infections

   Author : Hanna Kann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Infections with human papilloma viruses (HPV) are the most prevalent sexually transmitted diseases. The vast majority of the sexually active population acquires them during lifetime but almost all HPV infections become resolved within a year. READ MORE
