16. Adenovirus for Cancer Therapy : With a Focus on its Surface Modification
Sammanfattning : Adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) is widely used as an oncolytic agent for cancer therapy. However, its infectivity is highly dependent on the expression level of coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor (CAR) on the surface of tumor cells. LÄS MER
17. Capsid protein functions of enteric human adenoviruses
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
18. Interactions between enteroviruses and the host : implications for type 1 diabetes
Sammanfattning : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a disease that results after a selective destruction of the insulin-producing β-cells in the pancreas. The lack of β-cells renders T1D patients completely unable to synthesize and secrete insulin, which leads to a life-long need of exogenous insulin for survival. LÄS MER
19. Cellular receptors for viruses with ocular tropism
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
20. Biochemical and structural studies of proteins supporting the genome replication of enteroviruses and Giardia intestinalis
Sammanfattning : The Enterovirus genus of the Picornaviridae family includes non-enveloped, positive-sense single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) viruses. This genus of viruses causes many diseases such as poliomyelitis by poliovirus (PV), cardiomyopathy by coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), common cold by rhinoviruses (RVs) and meningitis by Enterovirus 71 (EV 71).
