1. 1. Studies on cell wall-attached proteins of Streptococcus pyogenes

   Författare :Magnus Rasmussen; Infektionsmedicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; insertion sequence; phase variation; collagen-like; alpha2-macroglobulin; pattern; virulence; surface protein; Stretococcus pyogenes; cell wall-attached protein; Clinical biology; Klinisk biologi;

   Sammanfattning : Cell wall-attached proteins (CWPs) are important for the virulence of Gram-positive bacteria, but are also targets for the host immune system. CWPs have a conserved COOH-terminal region, responsible for cell wall-sorting. A pattern based on this conserved region was developed. LÄS MER

3. 2. On the induction of inflammatory reactions by Streptococcus pyogenes

   Författare :Göran Jönsson; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; transplantation; serology; Immunology; mykologi; bakteriologi; virologi; Mikrobiologi; mycology; Complement; Complement C2 deficiency; Infectious diseases; Atherosclerosis; SLE; Autoantibodies; GM allotypes; Immunodeficiency state; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Medicin människa och djur ; Microbiology; virology; bacteriology; Immunologi; serologi; Infections; Infektioner;

   Sammanfattning : The complement system is a part of the innate immunity and is essential in the defence against microorganisms. Hereditary C2 deficiency (C2D) is one of the most common complement deficiency states with an estimated prevalence of 1:20,000 in persons of Western descent. LÄS MER

5. 4. Extracellular matrix mimetic multi-functional scaffolds for tissue engineering and biomedical applications

   Författare :Ranjithkumar Ravichandran; Jaywant Phopase; Anthony Turner; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Sammanfattning : Regeneration of functional tissues or complex organs via the combination of viable cells, biomimetic scaffolds, morphogenic factors, and external biophysical cues are the principle aims of Tissue Engineering (TE). TE relies on the use of artificial 3D scaffolds that can mimic the microenvironment of native tissue to harness the regenerative potential of cells. LÄS MER

7. 5. Development of a vaccine against strangles

   Författare :Margareta Flock; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Strangles is an acute upper respiratory tract disease in the horse, which is characterized by purulent pharyngitis and lymphadenitis. It is caused by Streptococcus equi subsp. equi. The severe suffering and economical losses due to Streptococcus equi infections makes it one of the most important bacterial diseases in horses. LÄS MER
