1. Luminescent textiles using biobased products : A bioinspired approach
Sammanfattning : Nature has designed a few biobased molecules that are responsible for bioluminescence and photoluminescence in some living species. In this thesis, the potential use of luminescence phenomena existing in nature toward the attainment of luminescent textiles was explored. LÄS MER
2. Development of bioluminescent reagents for kinetic analysis and some applications in clinical chemistry
Sammanfattning : Firefly luciferase and a bacterial luciferase system have been used to develop analytical methods suitable for use in clinical analysis.The influence of the level of NADH:FMN oxidoreductase on the kinetics of light emission in the bacterial luciferase system was studied. LÄS MER
3. The ADAR editing enzymes as therapeutic targets
Sammanfattning : Editing by deamination of adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) in double-stranded RNA is a common event in the human transcriptome. Altered levels of the essential ADAR1 activity are associated with disease. Children with mutations in the ADAR1 gene suffer from fatal Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) characterized by aberrant interferon expression. LÄS MER
4. Induction of the heat-shock response by misfolded proteins
Sammanfattning : Cells respond to stress by transcriptional changes intended for stress survival and adaption to further stresses. Heat shock is an intensively studied stress condition that induces in a plethora of physiological changes including increased protein misfolding. LÄS MER
5. In vivo bioluminescence imaging in preclinical trials of genetic vaccines
Sammanfattning : DNA immunization is a rapidly developing vaccine platform for cancer, infectious disease, and allergies. The efficiency of DNA vaccination is largely determined by the efficiency of delivery and subsequent expression of the HIV-1 genes in the cells. LÄS MER
