  1. 6. Cellular receptors for viruses with ocular tropism

    Författare :Emma C Nilsson; Niklas Arnberg; Eric J Kremer; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adenovirus; picornavirus; receptors; antivirals; Virology; Virologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology; Infectious Diseases; infektionssjukdomar; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Sammanfattning : Several viruses from different virus families are known to cause ocular infections, e.g. members of the Adenoviridae, Picornaviridae and the Herpesviridae families. These infections are spread by contact and in the case of adenoviruses (Ads) and picornaviruses they are also highly contagious. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Mechanisms involved in adenovirus binding to and infection of host cells

    Författare :Cecilia Nyberg; Niklas Arnberg; Pierre Boulanger; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Adenovirus; binding; infection; lactoferrin; coagulation factor IX and X; fiber; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The adenovirus (Ad) family consists of 52 different human types, which are divided into seven species (A-G). Human Ads cause disease in the respiratory tract, lymphoid tissue, intestine, urinary tract, and/or in the eye. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Capsid protein functions of enteric human adenoviruses

    Författare :Anandi Rajan; Niklas Arnberg; Stefan Schwartz; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adenovirus; gastroenteritis; capsid proteins; receptor; integrins; heparan sulfate; sialic acid;

    Sammanfattning : Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) cause respiratory illnesses, epidemic conjunctivitis and infantile gastroenteritis. HAdV types 40 and 41 cause enteric infections in infants worldwide. HAdVs use various receptors for attachment onto different host cells. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Early host cell interactions and antivirals against ocular adenoviruses

    Författare :Rickard Storm; Niklas Arnberg; Saw See Hong; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adenovirus; Virus host interactions; Antivirals; Sialic acid; Integrins; Epidemic keratoconjuntivitis;

    Sammanfattning : Viruses are common causative agents of ocular infection among humans. Epidemic keratoconjuntivitis (EKC) is a severe and contagious ocular disease with reported outbreaks worldwide. It is estimated that this disease affects 20-40 million individuals every year, which leads to huge socioeconomic costs for the affected countries. LÄS MER
