    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Type 1 diabetes; Insulin; Lectin panel; Ellipsometry; Meat juice; Serum proteins; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : In this thesis interactions in complex fluids, such as serum and meat juice, were analysed with optical biosensor techniques.Panels of lectins immobilised on gold surfaces were used for investigation of differences in protein glycosylation pattern in sera and meat juices between various species.

  4. 22. Haemoprotozoan Parasites of Non-Human Primates in Kenya : Studies on Prevalence and Characterization of Haemoprotozoan Parasites of Wild-Caught Baboons, African Green Monkeys and Syke's Monkeys

    Author : Maamun Jeneby; Marita Troye; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; haemoprotozoan parasites; nonhuman primates; Kenya; Microbiology; immunology; infectious diseases; Mikrobiologi; immunologi; infektionssjukdomar; Försöksdjursvetenskap - Jämförande medicin; Comparative Medicine;

    Abstract : This thesis reports on cross-sectional surveys aimed at detecting and characterizing haemoprotozoan parasites infecting wild free-ranging non human primates (NHPs) in Kenya, East Africa. Blood samples from olive baboons (Papio cynocephalus anubis), vervet monkeys or African green monkeys (AGMs, Chlorocebus aethiops) and Syke's monkeys (Cercopithecus mitis) from five provinces of Kenya were analyzed.

  5. 23. Perinuclear Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

    Author : Ping Yang; Stefan Lindgren; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) are a group of autoantibodies which are specific for granulocyte antigens. By indirect immunofluorescence (llF) on ethanol-fixed neutrophils, ANCAs can be divided into two types: a cytoplasmic staining pattern (C-ANCA) or a perinuclear staining pattern (P-ANCA). READ MORE

  6. 24. Galectin binding proteins in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage -in healthy and pathological conditions

    Author : Cecilia Cederfur; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer; glycoprotein; asthma; bronchoalveolar lavage; galectin binding protein; galectin ligand; galectin; serum;

    Abstract : Galectins are carbohydrate binding proteins, implicated in conditions of both inflammation and cancer. Connections between chronic inflammation and cancer are proposed by the increased remodelling and proliferation that occurs, leading to enhanced survival and proliferation of malignant cells.

  7. 25. Nucleic acid-based detection and characterization of hepatitis C virus

    Author : Zhibing Yun; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : HCV; PCR; genotype; HVRI; heterogeneity; IFN-a; immunodeficiency;

    Abstract : Nucleic acid-based methods were developed to detect and characterize the HCV genome in immunocompetent and immunodeficient patents of whom some were IFN-a treated. HCV RNA was found in most sera (95%), livers (97%) and PBMC (100%) of patients with confirmed chronic hepatitis, but also in sera (21%) of patients with indeterminate confirmatory antibody test, especially those with c22 antigen reactivity.
