  1. 1. Polyomavirus infections in humans

    Författare :Annika Lundstig; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :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;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Protein adaptability involved in self-assembled icosahedral capsids

    Författare :Josefina Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :BK virus; lumazine synthase; virus-like particle; electron cryomicroscopy; quasiequivalence; assembly;

    Sammanfattning : Interactions between viral coat proteins determine the size and shape of the virus capsid. Therefore, the plain closed shell of a spherical virus provides an excellent resource for studying and testing protein-protein interactions so as to reveal the properties that lead to symmetrical capsids or other shapes.

  4. 3. Viral infections in immunocompromised patients

    Författare :Lars Öhrmalm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The number of patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is steadily increasing, and the outcome of this intervention is largely dependent on how well complications in the form of severe infections can be adequately diagnosed and controlled. Adenoviruses (AdV) have emerged as important causes of morbidity and mortality in these patients. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Studies on human polyomavirus infection in association with central nervous system disorders and bone marrow transplantation

    Författare :Gordana Bogdanovic; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Human polyomaviruses BK virus (BKV) and JC virus (JCV) do not generally cause diseases in healthy immunocompetent individuals. However both BKV and JCV can establish persistent infections that can be reactivated and associated with serious clinical diseases in some immunocompromised patients. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Studies on human polyomavirus infection in immunosuppressed patients with polyoma related tumors

    Författare :Peter Priftakis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Polyomaviruses are potentially oncogenic viruses, found in humans, in other mammals and in birds all over the world. The polyomaviruses that have been observed in humans are BK virus (BKV) and JC virus (JCV) as well as the primate polyomavirus Simian Virus 40 (SV40). LÄS MER
