    Abstract : Many bacteria express immunoglobulin(Ig)-binding proteins that interact with Ig in a non-immune manner. Several of these Ig-binding bacterial proteins have been well characterized and are widely used as reagents for analysis and purification of Ig's. READ MORE

  5. 3. L68Q cystatin C: Expression, cellular transport and turnover of the cystatin C variant forming amyloid in patients with Hereditary Cystatin C Amyloid Angiopaty (HCCAA)

    Abstract : Hereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy (HCCAA) is a disorder characterised by multiple strokes in young adults, resulting in paralysis and dementia. The disease is caused by a mutation in the gene coding for the peptidase inhibitor cystatin C. READ MORE

  6. 4. Pathogen-host interactions at the surface of Streptococcus pyogenes

    Author : Patrik Nyberg; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Infektioner; Infections; C3a; LL-37; antimicrobial peptide; GRAB; alpha-2-macroglobulin; proteolysis; SpeB; internalization; virulence; protein F1; Streptococcus pyogenes; fibronectin;

    Abstract : The bacterial surface can be thought of as the interface where pathogenic bacteria encounter the human host. Interactions between bacterial surface proteins and human proteins are important determinants of the eventual outcome of infection. READ MORE

  7. 5. Expression and post-translational modification of purple acid phosphatase in insect and mammalian cells

    Author : Yunling Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Purple acid phosphatase (PAP) is an acidic metallohydrolase that contain a binuclear iron center in its active site. In mammals, this enzyme is also referred to as tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAPs), uteroferrin or type 5 acid phosphatase. READ MORE
