  1. 16. Biology of HIV transmission and antiviral mucosal immunity in the female genital tract

    Författare :Pauline Levinson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is primarily transmitted through heterosexual intercourse and women in Sub-Saharan Africa are disproportionately affected. Correlates of protective immunity and mucosal factors influencing sexual HIV transmission need to be identified as they may serve as critical targets for HIV intervention. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Serology of human papillomavirus type 16

    Författare :Xiaohong Wang; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; bacteriology; Microbiology; neutralization; avidity; heparin; epitope; ELISA; HPV16; antibody response;

    Sammanfattning : Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 is the major cause of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and anogenital cancers. The antibody response to papillomaviruses is a key determinant of protective immunity and forms the basis for prophylactic vaccine development as well as for seroepidemiology. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Serological and molecular methods for surveillance of influenza A virus

    Författare :Sofie Wallerström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The natural reservoir for influenza A viruses is birds, and numerous outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses have been documented. There is a risk of novel subtypes originating from birds infecting humans, and the question of migratory birds as long-distance vectors for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses has also been raised.

  5. 19. Dynamics of the HIV-2-specific immunoglobulin A(IgA) response

    Författare :Qin Lizeng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Human; HIV; Immunology; Pathogenesis; Antibodies IgA IgG; Epitopes; Neutralization;

    Sammanfattning : Millions of lives are affected by infection with HIV, which causes AIDS if untreated. HIV transmission occurs primarily through sexual contact across mucosal surfaces. In the mucosal immune response, IgA is considered the first defense line against HIV invasion. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Immune responses related to protection against rotavirus after natural infection and vaccination

    Författare :Kari Johansen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Rotavirus is the most important cause of severe gastroenteritis in children under five years of age and is estimated to be responsible for one-third of all diarrhea-associated hospitalizations and 600,000 deaths/ year worldwide. 1500-1700 rotavirus-associated hospitalizations of children are estimated to occur annually in Sweden (3.
