  1. 16. Studies of Carbohydrate-Binding Proteins from Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

    Författare :Lena Jansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Carbohydrate recognition; ETEC colonization factors; CFA I fimbriae; CS6 protein; heat-labile enterotoxin;

    Sammanfattning : Knowledge about the carbohydrate binding specificity of pathogens can give an increased understanding of their virulence strategies, and is also of importance for the development of anti-adhesive therapies and vaccines. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a well-known causative agent of diarrheal disease. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Cholera toxin B subunit as a carrier for inducing mucosal immunity and/or peripheral tolerance

    Författare :Carola Rask; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mucosal immunity; tolerance; atopic allergy; cholera toxin B subunit; antibody response; IgE;

    Sammanfattning : When an antigen is introduced via a mucosal route, either immunity or tolerance, or even both may be induced. Both immunity and tolerance are actively induced phenomena and both of them could have important medical implications as well as potential prophylactic or therapeutic applications. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Electric DNA arrays for determination of pathogenic Bacillus cereus

    Författare :Yanling Liu; Sven-Olof Enfors; Helena Anderson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bacillus cereus; haemolysin; non-haemolytic enterotoxin; cytotoxin K-2; cereulide; toxin-coding genes; bacterial colony; electric DNA chip; ultrasonication; DNA fragmentation; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Silicon-based electric chip arrays were developed for characterization of Bacillus cereus with respect to the capacity to produce toxins involved in food poisoning and foodborne infections. Bacteria of the B. cereus group contain different sets of four toxins encoded by eight genes. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Structural analyses of carbohydrate receptors for enterotoxins and adhesins of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

    Författare :Dani Zalem; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Carbohydrate recognition; glycosphingolipid; diarrheagenic E. coli; ETEC; heat-labile enterotoxin; colonization factor; AB5 toxins;

    Sammanfattning : Carbohydrate-binding proteins expressed by microbes are key determinants in initiating and sustaining infections that account for millions of deaths each year. This thesis fo- cused on proteins integral to infections instigated by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC); estimated as the largest bacterial cause of diarrhea in the world with hundreds of millions of cases each year.

  7. 20. A personalized approach to chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps : based on biomarkers, phenotypes and new surgical thinking

    Författare :Karin Jonstam; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent disease causing a substantial burden for the patient and the society. CRS is divided into CRS with (CRSwNP) and without nasal polyps (CRSsNP). LÄS MER
