  2. 21. Structural analyses of immune cell receptor signalling and activation

    Author : Maria Saline; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; structural biology; NMR; protein-protein interaction; immunology;

    Abstract : Structural biology is a scientific field where the aim is to observe macromolecules on a atomic level to understand their functions. Often these macromolecules are proteins that make, almost, everything happen within the cells; from hormones and enzymes to building blocks and controlling gene expression. READ MORE

  4. 22. Dangerous Proteins and Where to Find Them- Structural and functional studies of bacterial and viral proteins interacting with human immune receptors in health and disease

    Author : Sibel Uzuncayir; Medicinsk strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Proteins; immunology; structural biology;

    Abstract : Bacteria and viruses are threats to human that evolved strategies to bypass the immune system and can cause massive damage. Understanding these strategies and elucidating pathogen interacting partners within the human immune system will pave the way for discovery of new medicines and increase human well-being. READ MORE

  5. 23. Streptococcus pyogenes infections and toxic shock syndrome : molecular epidemiology and immunotherapy

    Author : Jessica Darenberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Streptococcus pyogenes, also known as group A streptococcus (GAS), is an important human pathogen causing a wide variety of diseases. One of the most severe diseases is streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS), which is associated with high mortality rates. Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) may also be caused by Staphylococcus aureus.

  7. 25. Regulation of innate and acquired immunity in infants by commensal bacteria

    Author : Helen Karlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : intestinal microflora; commensal; antigen-presenting cells; dendritic cells; CD25 regulatory T cells; allergy; infants; Staphylococcus aureus;

    Abstract : The incidence of atopic diseases in children is steadily increasing in the industrialised world along with an improved hygienic lifestyle. The gastrointestinal flora may be of specific importance for the proper maturation of the immune system and for the induction of tolerance, in which CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a crucial role.
