  2. 21. Papillomavirus binding and entry : The heparan sulfate receptor and inhibition by lactoferrin

    Author : Peter Drobni; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Papillomaviruses (PVs) infect epithelial cells and are the main causative agent of cervical carcinoma. There are today more than a hundred different PV types and these can be divided into high risk and low risk types. They infect differentiating epithelial cells which make it cumbersome to propagate and produce human papillomavirus (HPV) virions. READ MORE

  4. 22. Identification and evaluation of antiviral compounds targeting Rift Valley fever virus

    Author : Koushikul Islam; Clas Ahlm; Magnus Evander; Anna K. Överby; Johan Neyts; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Rift Valley fever virus; antiviral; assay development; screening; drug discovery;

    Abstract : Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV), a negative-stranded RNA virus, is the etiological agent of the vector-borne zoonotic disease Rift Valley fever (RVF). RVFV causes significant morbidity and mortality in humans and livestock throughout Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. READ MORE

  5. 23. Bridging Single-Particle Characterisation Gaps of Optical Microscopy in the Nano-Submicron Regime

    Author : Erik Olsén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; holography; particle shape; dynamics; Optical microscopy; particle tracking; size estimation; iSCAT; material sensitivity;

    Abstract : As the practical importance of particles in the nano-submicron size regime continues to increase in both biomedical applications and industrial processes, so does the need for accurate and versatile characterisation methods. Optical scattering microscopy methods are commonly used for single-particle characterisation as they provide quick measurements at physiologically relevant conditions with detection limits reaching down to individual biomolecules.

  6. 24. Control of Epstein-Barr virus infection by cytotoxic T lymphocytes

    Author : Pedro-Otavio de Campos-Lima; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Epstein-Barr virus; Cytotoxic T lymphocytes; T cell receptor; CTLescape mutants;

    Abstract : Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) play a critical role in response to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a widespread human herpes virus that persists in healthy carriers as a latent infection of B cells and is implicated in the pathogenesis of lymphoid and epithelial cell malignancies. Six virus encoded nuclear antigens, EBNA1-6, and three membrane proteins, LMP1, -2A and -2B, are regularly detected in EBV transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs). READ MORE

  7. 25. Herpesvirus-induced expression of sLe(x) and related O-linked glycans in the infected cell

    Author : Kristina Nyström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HSV-1; CMV; VZV; O-linked glycans; Lewis antigens; ICP0;

    Abstract : Lewis antigens constitute a family of fucosylated carbohydrate antigens (glycotopes), involved in leukocyte homing and related immunological phenomena. These glycotopes are only expressed restrictedly in normal cells, but are induced at appropriate occasions. It is well established that many tumors ?hijack? Lewis glycotopes for e.g. READ MORE
