  1. 1. Effects of galectins and antibodies in HIV infection; Novel Assays

    Författare :Enas Sheik-Khalil; Institutionen för laboratoriemedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HIV-1; galectin-1; galectin-8; neutralizing antibodies; cell-cell fusion; Microscale anisotropy assay; virus binding assay; glycosylation; gp120; Automated plaque reduction assay; CellProfiler; NeutNet;

    Sammanfattning : The high variability of the HIV envelope glycoproteins (Env), and their heavy glycan coating, contributes to the limited host immune control. Still, broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) are found in some chronically infected HIV-infected individuals, which has spurred the research on antibody-based vaccines. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Novel glycomimetic inhibitors and proteolysis-targeting chimeras for human galectins

    Författare :Mujtaba Hassan; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Galectins; Galectin-3; Galectin-8; benzimidazole; affinity; selectivity; X-ray; PROTAC;

    Sammanfattning : Galectins are a family of soluble proteins that bind β-D-galactopyranoside-containing glycoconjugates through their conserved carbohydrate-recognition domains. Galectins have emerged as promising drug targets due to their involvement in various pathological conditions, such as tumor growth and metastasis, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, as well as metabolic disorders.

  4. 3. Galectin-8 specificity to cells: from broad outside to fine inside

    Författare :Susanne Nordenfelt; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomedical sciences; Biomedicinska vetenskaper; Intracellular targeting; Sialic acid; Galectin fine specificity;

    Sammanfattning : Glycobiology is the world of sugars: how they are made, what they look like, and what they do. Despite the importance of glycan structures in life, knowledge has been hampered due to their inherent complexity. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Galectin binding proteins in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage -in healthy and pathological conditions

    Författare :Cecilia Cederfur; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer; glycoprotein; asthma; bronchoalveolar lavage; galectin binding protein; galectin ligand; galectin; serum;

    Sammanfattning : Galectins are carbohydrate binding proteins, implicated in conditions of both inflammation and cancer. Connections between chronic inflammation and cancer are proposed by the increased remodelling and proliferation that occurs, leading to enhanced survival and proliferation of malignant cells.

  7. 5. Small-Molecule Galectin Ligands : Structure-Based Optimisation of Affinity and Selectivity

    Författare :Sjors Van Klaveren; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Galectins; structure activity relation;

    Sammanfattning : In the body, all cell surfaces are covered with glycans, and many regulatory components havecarbohydrates attached to them, which can aid in their function. Galectins are a family of proteins whichcan bind to specific glycans and oligosaccharides and cross-link them to influence a wide range of cellularprocesses. LÄS MER
