11. Regulation of HIV-1 mRNA Processing by Cellular Splicing Factors
Sammanfattning : According to UNAIDS there were 34 million people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection at the end of 2010. HIV is the causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and the number of people dying of AIDS-related causes at the end of 2010 was 1.8 million. LÄS MER
12. Evolution of HIV-1 coreceptor use in relation to pathogenesis
Sammanfattning : HIV-1 uses the coreceptors CCR5 and/or CXCR4 in addition to CD4 to enter the host cell. CCR5-using HIV-1 (R5 phenotype) appears to transmit infection and usually dominates the early stages of disease. LÄS MER
13. HIV-1 envelope protein gp120. Glycovirology of the V3 loop
Sammanfattning : The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection usually is lethal as a consequence of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV-1 is an enveloped virus and the trimeric envelope glycoprotein complex, gp120/gp41, is responsible for binding of the virus both to the primary cellular receptor CD4 and the coreceptors, CXCR4 and CCR5.

14. Complement activation - good or evil in HIV-1 infection? : interaction of free and complement opsonized HIV-1 with monocyte derived dendritic cells and immune cells in the cervical mucosa
Sammanfattning : Worldwide, the heterosexual route is the most common mode of sexual transmission of HIV-1 and women are particularly susceptible to this infection. After penetration of the mucosal epithelium HIV-1 interacts with potential target cells, i.e. dendritic cells (DCs) and CD4+ T cells. LÄS MER
15. Plant-produced STI vaccine antigens with special emphasis on HIV-1 p24
Sammanfattning : Objective: To establish stable transgenic non-toxic plants as a platform for plant-based vaccine production as well as potential oral delivery system of vaccine antigens for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The concept is to immunize the mucosal immune system present in the gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT). LÄS MER
