  1. 1. Studies in DNA immunization

    Författare :Cecilia Svanholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Chlamydia pneumoniae; DNA vaccine; GM-CSF; HIV-1; hsp60; Nef; Rev; Tat; signal sequence;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes investigations and developments of DNA immunization techniques, which were applied in the study of two different pathogens; HIV-1 and Chlamydia pneumoniae. DNA vaccines, i.e. naked plasmid DNA encoding an antigen, represent a novel strategy for generating protective immunity against several infectious diseases. LÄS MER

  3. 2. DNA vaccines and bacterial DNA in immunity

    Författare :Lisa Charlotta Bandholtz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :DNA vaccine; CpG DNA; antimicrobial peptides C. pneumoniae; Shigella spp;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes DNA-based vaccination and the importance of bacterial DNA in different immunological perspectives. Intranasal (i.n.) DNA vaccination utilizing a plasmid encoding the chlamydial heat shock protein 60 (p-hsp-60) generated lower bacterial burden and reduced pathology in the lungs of mice after subsequent infection with C.

  4. 3. Induction of t-cell responses against PSA by plasmid DNA immunization

    Författare :Maxim Pavlenko; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Prostate-specific antigen; DNA vaccine; cytotoxic T lymphocytes;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is focused on using plasmid DNA encoding human prostate-specific antigen (PSA) for immunotherapy of prostate cancer. PSA is a secreted serine protease, which is produced almost exclusively by prostate epithelial cells. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Production and delivery of recombinant subunit vaccines

    Författare :Christin Andersson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Affibody; Affinity chromatography; Affinity purification; DNA immunization; Expression plasmid; Fusion protein; Hydrophobic tag; Iscoms; Lipid tagging; Malaria; Mammalian cell expression; Recombinant immunogen; Respiratory Syncytial Virus; Semliki Fo;

    Sammanfattning : Recombinant strategies are today dominating in thedevelopment of modern subunit vaccines. This thesis describesstrategies for the production and recovery of protein subunitimmunogens, and how genetic design of the expression vectorscan be used to adapt the immunogens for incorporation intoadjuvant systems.

  7. 5. Development of a Cancer Vaccine Targeting Tumor Blood Vessels

    Författare :Elisabeth J. M Huijbers; Anna-Karin Olsson; Arjan W. Griffioen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vaccine; Therapeutic; Cancer; Tumor; Angiogenesis; Immunization; Vascular; Extracellular matrix; Biomedicinsk laboratorievetenskap; Biomedical Laboratory Science; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi; Oncology; Onkologi; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : A treatment strategy for cancer is the suppression of tumor growth by directing an immune response to the tumor vessels, which will destroy the tissue.In this thesis we describe the development of a vaccine that targets antigens expressed around angiogenic vasculature in most solid tumors.
