  2. 1. Polyomavirus infections in humans

    Author : Annika Lundstig; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Polyomaviruses; tumour virology; BK virus; neuroblastoma; maternal infection; Real Time PCR; enzyme immunoassay; seroprevalence; JC virus; SV40; virus like particles VLPs ; seroepidemiology; biobank; mesothelioma tissues; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : The human polyomaviruses BKV and JCV are endemic and infect > 70% of population worldwide. Primary infections occur during childhood and are largely subclinical. Following primary infection, both viruses persist as latent infections in the kidneys and B lymphocytes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Uukuniemi virus-like particles : a model system for bunyaviral assembly

    Author : Anna K Överby; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Viruses are intracellular parasites that are unable to multiply except when inside a living cell of a host. Outside their host they remain inert. READ MORE

  5. 3. Vaccination against Her2/neu : expressing cancer using chimeric virus-like particles

    Author : Kalle Andreasson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Thanks to the development of vaccines, children are these days protected against infectious diseases like polio, diphtheria and tetanus simply by receiving a few injections. Imagine a scenario where these injections would also result in protection against cancer. READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies on polyomavirus virus-like particles : as vaccines and vectors for immune and gene therapy

    Author : Karin Tegerstedt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Polyomavirus; virus-like particles; immunotherapy; Her2 and dendritic cells;

    Abstract : Virus-like particles (VLPs) are similar to natural virus particles except that they lack viral genes. They have a similar cellular uptake to the natural virus from which they are derived but are non-infectious and can therefore not reproduce themselves. READ MORE

  7. 5. Murine polyomavirus VP1 virus-like particles as vectors for gene therapy and as vaccines against polyomavirus infection and tumors

    Author : Andrea Vlastos Franzén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Polyomavirus; virus-like particles; pseudocapsids; gene therapy; vaccines; tumors;

    Abstract : Murine polyomavirus (MPyV) is a double stranded DNA virus ubiquitous in mice. The virus genome encodes for three transforming antigens that interact with the host cell machinery in order to initiate viral production. The transforming antigens can under certain circumstances when not controlled, e.g. READ MORE
