  2. 6. Virus-cell membrane interactions - Binding studies of Herpes Simplex Virus using surface-sensitive techniques

    Author : Nadia Peerboom; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TIRF microscopy; single particle tracking; binding kinetics; glycosaminoglycans; herpes simplex virus;

    Abstract : Viruses are parasites capable of infecting all forms of life. They lack the ability to replicate by themselves and therefore hijack the replication machinery of cells to produce new viral copies, called virions. READ MORE

  4. 7. Genetic variants of herpes simplex virus type 1

    Author : Elham Rekabdar; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; s simplex virus type 1; glycoprotein G; genovariants; intrastrain diversity;

    Abstract : Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) virus causes oral as well as genital lesions, and, on rare occasions, focal encephalitis and severe neonatal infections. Due to the partly overlapping clinical manifestations of infection with HSV-1 and its closest relative among herpesviruses, HSV-2, diagnostic methods are required to discriminate between infections with these two viruses.

  5. 8. Sexually transmitted infections: serological, microbiological and microscopical aspects

    Author : Matilda Berntsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; herpes simplex virus; seroprevalence; Epstein-Barr virus; cytomegalovirus; urethritis; cervicitis; STI;

    Abstract : The prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STI) is high in the adult populations world-wide but varies between populations and time periods. Since a high proportion of infected individuals are asymptomatic, diagnostic approaches to reduce further transmission and complications are essential. READ MORE

  6. 9. Human Papilloma Virus, Epstein-Barr Virus, and Herpes Simplex Virus Type-1 in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinomas from Three Populations

    Author : Jamshid Jalouli; Jan-Michaél Hirsch; Tina Dalianis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HPV; EBV; HSV; Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma; Leukoplakia; Oral Lichen Planus; Oral Submucuos Fibrosis; Toombak; Betel quid; Snuff; Oncology; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Abstract : Most oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is believed to develop via a multistep process of cumulative gene damage in epithelial cells. Increasing incidence of OSCC and evidence that traditional risk factors may not be responsible directed us to investigate the prevalence of virus in pre- and malignant samples. READ MORE

  7. 10. Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cell transplantation : possible viral complications and alloimmunity

    Author : Mikael Sundin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Mesenchymal stem cell; immunogenicity; viruses; transplantation; antibodies; GvHD;

    Abstract : In the last few years, human multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) have been increasingly used in novel therapeutic strategies due to their intrinsic immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties. In hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), a curable treatment of hematological malignancies and several non-malignant conditions, MSC have been used as a therapy for graft-versus host-disease (GvHD) and other complications.
