16. Human Endogenous Retroviruses: Studies on Transcriptional Activity and Genetic Variability
Sammanfattning : Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are believed to be remains of germ-line infections that have become fixed in the population. They are involved in pathophysiological conditions, in mechanisms leading to infection protection, and directly in the physiology of the organism by participating in the regulation of cellular gene expression.

17. Endogenous Retroviral RNA Expression in Humans
Sammanfattning : Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) constitute about 8% of the human genome. There are around 4000 pol-containing retroviral integrations in the human genome, which makes it impractical to measure each of them separately. LÄS MER
18. Activation of the spike proteins of alpha- and retroviruses
Sammanfattning : Enveloped viruses like human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) enter cells by fusing their membrane with that of the cell plasma membrane, while others, like influenzavirus and alphavirus enter via uptake into endosomes and fusion with the endosomal membrane. For this they carry spike proteins. LÄS MER
19. Fusion activation in murine leukemia virus
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the fusion activation in Murine leukaemia virus (MLV). During entry of retroviruses into uninfected cells, the viral and cellular membranes fuse. The fusion process is mediated by the viral envelope protein composed of three SU and TM heterodimers. LÄS MER
20. Stem cell transplantation in multiple myeloma : clinical aspects and experimental gene transfer studies
Sammanfattning : Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignant disease considered essentially incurable despite its sensitivity to cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs and radiation. High-dose chemo/radiotherapy with allogeneic- or autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (tx) can induce a disease-free state and may prolong survival and offer an improved quality of life to MM patients.
