  2. 1. Software Techniques for Distributed Shared Memory

    Author : Zoran Radovic; Erik Hagersten; Sandhya Dwarkadas; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; synchronization; distributed shared memory; write permission cache; nonuniform communication architecture; node affinity; locality; hardware-software trade-off; profiling; flexibility; trap-based memory architecture; Computer engineering; Datorteknik; Data- och systemvetenskap; Computer Systems Sciences;

    Abstract : In large multiprocessors, the access to shared memory is often nonuniform, and may vary as much as ten times for some distributed shared-memory architectures (DSMs). This dissertation identifies another important nonuniform property of DSM systems: nonuniform communication architecture, NUCA. READ MORE

  4. 2. Immunoglobulin gene usage and affinity maturation in antiviral antibodies

    Author : Pradeepa Pushparaj; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The ability of antibodies to block infections makes them highly relevant for successful vaccine development. Through the papers described in this thesis, I attempt to characterize the functional and genetic aspects of antiviral antibodies induced by infection and vaccination. READ MORE

  5. 3. Antibody based plasma protein profiling

    Author : Ulrika Qundos; Jochen M. Schwenk; Peter Nilsson; Mathias Uhlén; Ulrike Korf; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; protein profiling; plasma; antibody; affinity proteomics; biomark- ers; multiplex; assay development;

    Abstract : This thesis is about protein profiling in serum and plasma using antibody suspension bead arrays for the analysis of biobanked samples and in the context of prostate cancer biomarker discovery. The influence of sample preparation methods on antibody based protein profiles were investigated (Papers I-III) and a prostate cancer candidate biomarker identified and verified (Papers III-V).

  6. 4. THE ROLE OF DENDRITIC CELLS AND TYPE I INTERFERON IN THE GENERATION AND FUNCTION OF T FOLLICULAR HELPER CELLS

    Author : Helena Cucak; Immunologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; T follicular helper cells; Type I interferon; Dendritic cells;

    Abstract : Generation of long-lived plasma cells and memory B cells of high affinity takes place in germinal centers and depends on help from a specialized CD4+ T cell subset termed T follicular helper (Tfh) cells. These processes are crucial for long-term protection upon natural infection or in settings of vaccination, however they are also responsible for development of antibody-mediated autoimmune disease.

  7. 5. Acoustofluidic preparation of whole blood components

    Author : Anke Urbansky; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; acoustophoresis; ultrasound; microfluidics; cell separation; blood; blood fractionation;

    Abstract : Whole blood is rich in information about the physical state of an individual and is routinely used in a variety of clinical and research applications. In this thesis, the use of a microfluidic technique called acoustophoresis for separation of different blood components is explored. READ MORE
