1. Establishment and characterization of a murine T-cell lymphoma/leukemia model
Sammanfattning : Mouse models of human disease are valuable tools for studying pathogenesis and for evaluating novel therapies. T-cell lymphoma is a relatively rare disease in humans, affecting 100-150 persons yearly in Sweden. It exists in both aggressive and more indolent forms. LÄS MER
2. Semliki forest virus-derived packaging system for production of retroviral vectors
Sammanfattning : Gene therapy is a treatment of disease by transfer of genetic material into somatic cells of an individual. Successful gene therapy depends on a delivery system which can efficiently transfer the gene into target cells and lead to high level expression of the gene. LÄS MER
3. Activation of retrovirus spikes for membrane fusion
Sammanfattning : Retroviruses are enveloped viruses that use reverse transcriptase to convert their RNA genome into DNA which is integrated into the host DNA. They enter into the cell by a membrane fusion process. In this the viral membrane fuses with that of the cell so that the internal capsid of the virus with the genome can be released into the cell cytoplasm. LÄS MER
4. Screening for Candidate Brain Tumor Genes : Identifying Genes that Cooperate with Platelet-Derived Growth Factor in Glioma Development and Progression
Sammanfattning : Malignant primary brain tumors, gliomas, often overexpress both platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) ligands and receptors providing an autocrine and/or paracrine boost to tumor growth. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most frequent glioma. Its aggressive and infiltrative growth renders it extremely difficult to treat. LÄS MER
5. Reverse Transcriptase Activity Assays for Retrovirus Quantitation and Characterization
Sammanfattning : Reverse transcriptase (RT) is a crucial enzyme for retrovirus replication, and its presence in the virion is indispensable for infectivity. This thesis illustrates the use of RT activity assays as tools for quantitation and characterization of different retroviruses, particularly HIV. LÄS MER
