  2. 1. Anti-parasitic and anti-viral immune responses in insects

    Author : Olle Terenius; Ingrid Faye; Kenneth Söderhäll; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hemolin; Hyalophora cecropia; Antheraea pernyi; Drosophila melanogaster; anti-viral; anti-parasitic; rna interference; microarray; innate immunity; Genetics; Genetik;

    Abstract : Insects encounter many microorganisms in nature and to survive they have developed counter measures against the invading pathogens. In Drosophila melanogaster research on insect immunity has mainly been focused on infections by bacteria and fungi. READ MORE

  4. 2. Functional characterization of interactions between the flavivirus NS5 protein and PDZ proteins of the mammalian host

    Author : Karin Ellencrona; Magnus Johansson; Andrew Davidson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tick-borne encephalitis virus TBEV ; West-Nile virus WNV ; Dengue virus DENV ; flavivirus; PDZ domains; ZO-2; ZO-1; RIMS2; Scribble; Interferon; JAK-STAT signaling; PDZ array; virus-host protein interaction; Genetics; Genetik; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : Flaviviruses are found all over the world and affect and infect millions of people every year. Flavivirus infection can lead to severe clinical outcomes resulting in neuronal damages e.g. Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), or severe hemorrhagic fevers e. READ MORE

  5. 3. Site-Specific Recombination : Integrases, Accessory Factors and DNA Targets of P2-like Coliphages

    Author : Lina Sylwan; Elisabeth Haggård-Ljungquist; Margaret C. M. Smith; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Genetics; Genetik; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : The temperate coliphage P2 and its family members integrate their genomes into the host Escherichia coli chromosome by a site-specific recombination mechanism to form lysogeny. Integration takes place between the complex phage attP site and the simple bacterial attB site and is catalyzed by the phage encoded integrase (Int). READ MORE

  6. 4. Genetic Risk Factors for Cervical Carcinoma in situ

    Author : Anna Beskow; Peter L Stern; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Cervical carcinoma; human papillomavirus; viral load; long-term infection; HLA class II; p53; E6 variant; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Medical Genetics; medicinsk genetik;

    Abstract : Oncogenic human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are implicated in 99.7 % of cervical cancer cases but require the co-operation of other factors. To investigate potential genetic risk factors we have typed the HLA class II DRB1 and DQB1 loci in 478 women diagnosed with cervical carcinoma in situ and in 608 age-matched controls. READ MORE

  7. 5. Genetic and environmental risk factors of cervical carcinoma in Situ

    Author : Agnetha Josefsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Cervical carcinoma; Human papillomavirus; exonuclease assay; persistence; viral copy number; quantitation; p53; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Medical Genetics; medicinsk genetik;

    Abstract : Invasive cervical cancer is the third most common cancer form among women. In 1990 there were approximately 370,000 new cases diagnosed in the world. The risk of morbidity and mortality of cervical cancer among women is a problem, particularly in the developing countries. READ MORE
