    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer s disease; Herpes simplex encephalitis; Herpesvirus; Cytomegalovirus; CMV; HSV-1; HHV-6; CD8 T-cells; Cellular immunity; Immunosenescence; Autoimmunity; NMDA receptor; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Sammanfattning : Herpesviruses have co-speciated with several vertebrate and invertebrate animals throughout the history of evolution. In the immunocompetent human host, primary infection is usually benign, whereafter the virus is brought into life-long latency. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Herpesvirus infections in transplant recipients

    Författare :Jenny K Lindahl; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Allogeneic stem cell transplantation; Cytomegalovirus; Epstein-Barr virus; Human Herpesvirus type 6; Renal transplantation; Varicella zoster virus;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract Herpesvirus infections are common and can cause serious and life-threatening conditions in transplanted individuals. In this thesis, consisting of 4 papers (I-IV), we investigated primary infection and reactivation of Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Human Herpesvirus type 6 (HHV-6), Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) and Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) in transplant patients.

  4. 3. Human herpesvirus 6A and 6B : assay validation, virus-host interaction and clinical relevance

    Författare :Elin Engdahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Human herpesvirus (HHV)-6A and HHV-6B are two ubiquitous herpesviruses that after primary infection can stay latent in the host. The two viruses can reactivate from latency and cause secondary complications. Also, diseases like multiple sclerosis and epilepsy have been associated with HHV-6A and HHV-6B. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Immune maturation in early childhood and the influence of herpesvirus infections

    Författare :Ebba Sohlberg; Eva Sverremark-Ekström; Eleanor Riley; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Immune differentiation; monocytes; NK cells; B cells; T cells; Epstein-Barr virus; EBV; cytomegalovirus; CMV; IFN-γ; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : The quality of immune responses develops from birth into adulthood and in the context of the host microbial environment. The aim of this work was to study immune maturation during childhood, and how this process can be affected by the common herpesviruses; Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Differences i tropism and viral assembly pathways of human herpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A and 6B) and association of host cell proteins in HHV-6A virions

    Författare :Jenny Ahlqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Human herpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A and 6B) are considered to be T-lymphotropic viruses. The overall nucleotide sequence identity between the two variants is 90% and each differs by only nine variant-specific open reading frames. HHV-6A and 6B have often been recognized as one virus and simply termed HHV-6. LÄS MER
