1. Rift Valley fever : consequences of virus-host interactions
Sammanfattning : Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a mosquito-borne virus which has the ability to infect a large variety of animals including humans in Africa and Arabian Peninsula. The abortion rate among these animals are close to 100%, and young animals develop severe disease which often are lethal. LÄS MER
2. Virus Host Interactions in SARS Coronavirus Infection
Sammanfattning : The global outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome which began in 2002 and ended in 2003 resulted in over 8000 cases in 29 countries, causing an atypical pneumonia which resulted in a case fatality rate of ~10%. The etiological agent of this disease was found to be a novel coronavirus dubbed SARS Coronavirus (SARS-CoV). LÄS MER
3. The Epstein-Barr nuclear antigens 1 & 5; Study of virus-host cellular protein interactions
Sammanfattning : The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is the causative agent or cofactor in the aetiology of several human malignancies such as Burkitt’s lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and lymphoproliferative disorder in immunocompromised patients. EBV is a lymphotropic γ-herpes virus infecting more than 90 percent of the population worldwide. LÄS MER
4. Dissection of virus-host cell interactions in the early response to infection
Sammanfattning : Stress granules (SG) are dynamic RNA/protein assemblies in the cytoplasm of the cell, formed under conditions of oxidative stress, heat shock or viral infections. These stress conditions trigger a sudden translational arrest, leading to a rapid switch of translation from housekeeping genes to stress-related factors. LÄS MER
5. Analysis of PDGF receptor internalization and signaling using proximity ligation assays
Sammanfattning : Cell signaling is mediated by signaling proteins that relay the signal in an intricate network of interactions before the signal is translated into a biological response. Short linear motifs (SLiMs) in intrinsically disordered regions of proteins serve as docking sites for protein interaction in all aspects of cell regulation including signal transduction. LÄS MER
