6. Mucosal immunity in the respiratory tract : The role of IgA in protection against intracellular pathogens
Abstract : The lungs and upper airways are mucosal surfaces that are common site for infection with an enormous variety of inhaled pathogens. Therefore, induction of immune responses in the respiratory tract is crucial for protection against respiratory diseases. One of the pathogens infecting the host via the respiratory tract is Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. READ MORE

7. Power Quality Disturbances and Protective Relays
Abstract : This thesis combines knowledge from two areas: power quality and power system protection. Power quality concerns the effect of voltage disturbances on end-user equipment and of current disturbances on network components. Power system protection concerns the detection of faults in the system from measured voltages and currents. READ MORE

8. Surface proteins of pathogenic streptococci
Abstract : Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus) and the group B streptococcus (GBS) are two important human pathogens that cause different types of diseases and express different surface structures implicated in virulence. This thesis focuses on several surface proteins expressed by these pathogens, analyzing the biological function of these proteins and their ability to elicit protective immunity. READ MORE

9. Antibody responses in Plasmodium falciparum malaria and their relation to protection against the disease
Abstract : Protective immunity against Plasmodium falciparum may be obtained after repeated exposure to infection. Several studies indicate that immunity against the blood stages of the P. Falciparum infection is mainly antibody mediated. READ MORE

10. Immunological characteristics of recombinant fragments of the Plasmodium falciparum blood-stage antigen Pf332
Abstract : Effective malaria vaccine might help improve control strategies against malaria, but the complexity of interactions between the parasite and its hosts poses challenges. The asexual blood stage P. falciparum antigen Pf332 has potentials as one of the proteins in understanding the complex host-parasite interactions. READ MORE
