  2. 1. Antigenic variation in relapsing fever Borrelia

    Author : Nils Burman; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Borrelia; Relapsing fever; Antigenic variation; Vmp lipoprotein; Rosetting;

    Abstract : The spirochete Borrelia hermsii avoids the immune response of its mammalian host through multiphasic antigenic variation. Serotype specificity is determined by Variable major proteins (Vmp), in the outer membrane. READ MORE

  4. 2. Influenza A Virus : Spatial analysis of influenza genome trafficking and the evolution of the neuraminidase protein

    Author : Dan Dou; Robert Daniels; Martin Schwemmle; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Influenza A virus; IAV; neuraminidase; NA; IAV genome trafficking; viral entry; viral replication; co-infection; antigenic drift; antigenic shift; NA assembly; transmembrane domain; evolution; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are a common infectious agent that seasonally circulates within the human population that causes mild to severe acute respiratory infections. The severity of the infection is often related to how the virus has evolved with respect to the pre-existing immunity in the population. READ MORE

  5. 3. Glycoprotein G of Herpes simplex virus type 2. Antigenicity and genetic variability

    Author : Jan-Åke Liljeqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Herpes simplex virus type 2; glycoprotein G; antigenic regions; sequence variability;

    Abstract : Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) causes genital lesions, meningitis and occasionally, severe neonatal infections. Globally HSV-2 infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. READ MORE

  6. 4. Characterization of Antigenic Properties and High Throughput Protein Purification

    Author : Johanna Steen; Sophia Hober; Mats Ohlin; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; high throughput; protein purification; sample preparation; antigen solubility; immunogenicity; epitope mapping; antigen design; Bioengineering; Bioteknik; SRA - Molecular Bioscience; SRA - Molekylär biovetenskap;

    Abstract : To understand the cellular processes, knowledge of the localization and function of proteins are essential. There are several high throughput ventures examining the human proteome. However, there are some bottlenecks in these ventures. For example the production and expression of soluble proteins for analysis. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies on streptococcal M proteins. Interactions with IgA and human complement regulators

    Author : Eskil Johnsson; Institutionen för laboratoriemedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; antigenic variation; factor H; C4b-binding protein; Fc-receptor; IgA; Streptococcus pyogenes; M protein; mykologi; virologi; bakteriologi; Mikrobiologi; virology; mycology; bacteriology;

    Abstract : The human pathogenic bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus) expresses several different virulence factors. Of these, the M protein is regarded as one of the most important, because it confers resistance to phagocytosis, allowing the bacterium to multiply in blood. READ MORE
