1. Studies on the Molecular Biology of the Mouse Pneumotropic Polyomavirus
Sammanfattning : The Murine Pneumotropic Virus (MPtV), in contrast to the other MurinePolyomavirus (MPyV), appears to be non-tumourigenic in its natural host. Instead, MPtV causes acute pneumonia and can serve as a model in studies of polyomavirus-induced disease. In initial experiments, MPtV large T-antigen (LT) was expressed in a heterologous system.

2. Vaccination against Her2/neu : expressing cancer using chimeric virus-like particles
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
3. Studies on polyomavirus virus-like particles : as vaccines and vectors for immune and gene therapy
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
4. Cancer therapy using viral and bacterial proteins as vectors for vaccines or as carriers of cytostatics
Sammanfattning : New cancer therapies are urgently needed, since available treatment options today have negative side effects, and cure only about half of the patients with invasive cancer. One, relatively new, option is to vaccinate against cancer, by introducing an antigen that is present on the tumor cells into the patient to stimulate specific immunity against the tumor. LÄS MER
