  2. 16. Helicobacter pylori : multitalented adaptation of binding properties

    Author : Sara Henriksson; Thomas Borén; Göran Larson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Helicobacter pylori; adherence; receptor specificity; adaptation; pH; BabA; Leb; recombination; secretor phenotype; recombinant cell lines;

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori infects and persistently colonizes the stomach, which results in gastritis and in some individuals peptic ulcer disease or gastric cancer. Adherence of H. pylori to the epithelium is an important factor for development of disease. READ MORE

  4. 17. Lipooligosaccharide and Cytolethal distending toxin of Haemophilus ducreyi and antibody responses

    Author : Annika Lundqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Haemophilus ducreyi; lipooligosaccharide; cytolethal distending toxin;

    Abstract : The Gram-negative bacterium Haemophilus ducreyi causes chancroid, a sexually transmitted infection characterized by persistent ulcers on genitals. The disease is prevalent in developing countries and facilitates transmission and acquisition of HIV. READ MORE

  5. 18. Norovirus, causative agent of winter vomiting disease, exploits several histo-blood group glycans for adhesion

    Author : Gustaf E Rydell; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : norovirus; glycobiology; virus-like particle; FUT2; ABO H histo-blood group antigen; sialyl Lewis x; neoglycoprotein; glycosphingolipid; QCM-D; supported lipid bilayer;

    Abstract : Norovirus is recognized as the major cause of outbreaks of gastroenteritis world-wide, yet no vaccines or drugs are available for prevention or treatment of the virus infection. Challenge studies and binding studies using virus-like particles (VLPs) have suggested susceptibility to norovirus infection to be associated with secretor status. READ MORE

  6. 19. Proteomics of the upper airways : studies on a new lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, PLUNC

    Author : Bijar Ghafouri; Bo Jonsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : There is now significant interest in identifying, quantifying and characterizing the human proteome, and new powerful techniques (proteomics) have evolved to deal with this giant task. In the present study, proteomics have been applied for the first time to map the proteins of the upper airways. READ MORE

  7. 20. Helicobacter pylori Sialic Acid-Specific Surface Lectin

    Author : Siiri Hirmo; Enheten för infektionssjukdomar; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bakteriologi; mycology; Mikrobiologi; virology; bacteriology; haemagglutinin; Helicobacter pylori; sialic acid; sialidase; gastrointestinal mucin; milk glycoprotein; Microbiology; resonant mirror biosensor; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori is a gastric pathogen colonising the gastric mucus layer and epithelium of gastric tissue and is associated with chronic type B gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. The attachment of H. pylori to gastric epithelial cells involves several structures recognised by specific bacterial surface proteins. READ MORE
