  1. 1. The role of Moraxella catarrhalis outer membrane proteins in pathogenesis

    Författare :Taras Manolov; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cathepsin G; inflammation; serum resistance; C3; complement; Moraxella catarrhalis; antichymotrypsin; affinity chromatography; purification;

    Sammanfattning : Moraxella catarrhalis is an important respiratory pathogen. It is a common cause of otitis media in children, a usual infections agent in sinusitis and makes up to 10% of all exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). LÄS MER

  3. 2. Characterization of IgD-binding by respiratory pathogens

    Författare :Martin Samuelsson; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; virology; mycology; H. influenzae; bacteriology; Microbiology; IgD-binding; M. catarrhalis; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Sammanfattning : The focus of this thesis was to explore the interaction between IgD and Moraxella catarrhalis and Haemophilus influenzae. These two respiratory pathogens are responsible for otitis media in children, and exacerbations in patients afflicted with predisposing conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Both M. catarrhalis and H. LÄS MER

  4. 3. MORAXELLA CATARRHALIS OUTER MEMBRANE PROTEINS AND INTERACTIONS WITH THE HUMAN IMMUNE SYSTEM

    Författare :Therése Nordström; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mycology; Mikrobiologi; virology; Microbiology; C4BP; B-cells; UspA2; Moraxella catarrhalis; virologi; mykologi; bakteriologi; bacteriology; C3; IgD; Moraxella IgD-bindning protein; UspA1;

    Sammanfattning : Moraxella catarrhalis is frequently colonizing the human respiratory tract, particularly in children. This gram-negative bacterium has during the last two decades been recognized as a pathogen causing otitis media in children and lower respiratory tract infections in adults with predisposing conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

  5. 4. Identification and Characterization of the Moraxella catarrhalis IgD-binding Protein MID

    Författare :Andrea Möllenkvist; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; receptor; structure; phase variation; MID; IgD; Moraxella catarrhalis; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Moraxella catarrhalis is now an established human pathogen that frequently colonizes the upper respiratory tract causing most importantly otitis media in children. It has also been associated with sinusitis, laryngitis and lower respiratory tract infections in adults with predisposing conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Activation of human B cells with the Moraxella catarrhalis IgD-binding protein MID
