  2. 1. On the function of the interferon-inducible p53 target gene TRIM22

    Author : Jessica Petersson; Avdelningen för hematologi och transfusionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TRIM22; Staf50; p53; IFN; translation; proliferation; cell death;

    Abstract : The interferon-inducible p53-target gene TRIM22 (Staf50) is a member of the TRIM (TRIpartite Motif) family. The TRIM family is a family of RING (Really Interesting New Gene) proteins, defined through a tripartite motif, containing a RING-domain, one or two B-boxes and a Coiled-coil-domain. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cellular proteins binding to the HCV 5' and 3' UTRs

    Author : Karin Spångberg; Ingemar Ernberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Hepatitis C virus; RNA-binding proteins; mRNA stability; translation; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Medical Virology; medicinsk virologi;

    Abstract : Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a worldwide health problem with more than 170 million people infected by the virus. About 80% become chronic carriers, which may result in hepatocellular carcinoma. The lack of an in vitro cell culture system that allows propagation of the virus has hampered the development of a vaccine or anti-viral drugs against HCV. READ MORE

  5. 3. Viral Control of SR Protein Activity

    Author : Camilla Estmer Nilsson; Neus Visa; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; adenovirus; ASF SF2; dephosphorylation; E4-ORF4; L1; MLTU; PP2A; splicing; SR proteins; vaccinia virus; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Medical Virology; medicinsk virologi;

    Abstract : Viruses modulate biosynthetic machineries of the host cell for a rapid and efficient virus replication. One important way of modulating protein activity in eukaryotic cells is by reversible phosphorylation. In this thesis we have studied adenovirus and vaccinia virus, two DNA viruses with different replication stategies. READ MORE

  6. 4. Retargeting of adenovirus vectors. Viral ligands and cellular receptors

    Author : Petra Henning; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Adenovirus; vector; gene therapy; gene transfer; retargeting; detargeting; tumor targeting; fiber; pIX; affibody molecule; single chain antibody;

    Abstract : Gene therapy is one of the newest technologies attempted to treat human cancer. Progress in the field has however been hampered by the lack of efficient and safe vectors. Ideal vectors should specifically transduce desired cells in vivo. This thesis is devoted to the development and evaluation of retargeted adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) vectors. READ MORE

  7. 5. Characterization of nucleic acid delivery with fatty acid modified cell-penetrating peptide nanoparticle formulations

    Author : Tõnis Lehto; Ülo Langel; Patrick Midoux; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Transfection; gene delivery; oligonucleotide; complexes; non-viral; in vivo; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi; Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology;

    Abstract : Recent advances with techniques used for manipulating gene expression have brought us to an era where various gene therapeutic approaches are becoming common therapeutic tools for many previously incurable diseases. The main factor impeding the wider translation of gene therapy is that the active pharmaceutical ingredients used for interfering with gene expression are based on nucleic acids and synthetic oligonucleotides and such molecules do not readily reach their intracellular targets due to their physicochemical properties and therefore they require delivery vectors to cross the cell membrane.
