  2. 1. The Epstein-Barr nuclear antigens 1 & 5; Study of virus-host cellular protein interactions

    Author : Alma Forsman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Epstein-Barr virus; EBNA1; EBNA5; EBNA-LP; cellular network; virus-host protein interactions;

    Abstract : The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is the causative agent or cofactor in the aetiology of several human malignancies such as Burkitt’s lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and lymphoproliferative disorder in immunocompromised patients. EBV is a lymphotropic γ-herpes virus infecting more than 90 percent of the population worldwide. READ MORE

  4. 2. Human dendritic cells in blood and airways during respiratory viral infection

    Author : Faezzah Baharom; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The air we inhale contains oxygen necessary for life, but also potentially harmful microorganisms, toxins and allergens. This presents an important immunological dilemma: how can our lungs quickly and selectively eliminate harmful agents without inflicting damage on the delicate tissues of the lungs? We have thus evolved a network of cells involved in immune surveillance, made up of dendritic cells (DCs), monocytes and macrophages. READ MORE

  5. 3. Exploring the cancer cell attractor in the Epstein-Barr virus infection model

    Author : Qin Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : It has been proposed, based on the theory of complex gene regulatory networks, that cell types, including cancer cells, represent attractor states of the network dynamics. In this study, we proposed an Epstein - Barr virus (EBV) latency I to latency III switch model. READ MORE

  6. 4. HIV-1 Exploitation of Dendritic Cell Functionality and Initial Responses in Mucosal Tissues : Elucidation of Influence of HIV-1 Complement Opsonization, and HIV-1-HSV-2 Co-infection

    Author : Cecilia Svanberg; Marie Larsson; Sofia N. Nyström; Jorma Hinkula; Marianne Jansson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 is transmitted between individuals via sexual intercourse or via blood products. To date there are 38 million people living with chronic HIV infection and around 1.5 million yearly acquire a new infection. READ MORE

  7. 5. Decoding the language of transmission among vector-pathogen-host
