11. Diversity and focus of CMV specific T-cell responses in patients post-HSCT and with solid tumor
Sammanfattning : Human Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a beta-herpesvirus that commonly infects humans. Most symptoms in healthy individuals are very mild. The virus is never eliminated and remains in the individual life-long. Thus, CMV and the immune response stay in coexistence until the protective response remains. LÄS MER
12. Congenital CMV infection and connexin 26 mutations in childhood deafness : intervention with early cochlear implantation
Sammanfattning : Hearing impairment (HI) is a common disability, which affects a significant proportion of the population. Early in life, however, the risk of acquiring a HI is low, with 0.2 % of all newborns having a permanent HI, and of these, 0.04 % have a severe or profound HI. LÄS MER
13. Early diagnosis of cytomegalovirus infection using monoclonal antibodies and DNA amplification
Sammanfattning : Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is ubiquitous and frequently infects normal individuals with few serious clinical consequences. However, patients with impaired cellular immunity frequently develop life-threatening opportunistic HCMV infections due to either primary infection or reactivation of latent virus. LÄS MER
14. Neonatal cholestasis : clinical and aetiological aspects, with special reference to viral infections transmitted from mother to infant
Sammanfattning : Although the list of possible causes for neonatal cholestasis is long, in many cases the aetiology remains unknown. The aim of this thesis was to examine the pathogenetic role of viral infections in the early infantile cholestasis. LÄS MER
15. Glycoprotein B of human cytomegalovirus : target for neutralising antibodies, ligand for cellular receptors, inducer of autoimmunity?
Sammanfattning : Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a member of the Herpesviridae, is widespread in humans, causing persistent infections mostly without any clinical symptoms. However in immunosuppressed individuals HCMV still represents a significant factor in morbidity, why there is clearly a need for effective therapy and prophylaxis against HCMV infection. LÄS MER
