  1. 6. Anti-herpes simplex virus activities of sulfomannan oligosaccharide PI-88 and disulfated cyclitols

    Författare :Maria Ekblad; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :herpes simplex virus; antiviral drugs; viral glycoproteins; heparan sulfate mimetic; PI-88;

    Sammanfattning : Herpes simplex virus (HSV) initiates invasion of human cells by binding to the cell surface heparan sulfate (HS) glycosaminoglycan chains. This step is mediated by the viral envelope glycoproteins gC and/or gB. LÄS MER

  2. 7. Functions of glycoprotein G of herpes simplex virus type 2

    Författare :Staffan Görander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Herpes simplex virus type 2; glycoprotein G-2; type specific serology; vaccine; Tanzania;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is a common sexually transmitted infection with more than 500 million individuals infected world-wide. A major global health problem is that HSV-2 infection facilitates the spread of HIV. This epidemiological situation warrants the development of a vaccine to reduce the spread of HSV-2. LÄS MER

  3. 8. HIV susceptibility factors in the human genital mucosa

    Författare :Maria Röhl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Heterosexual HIV transmission is the most common viral transmission route worldwide. To establish a persistent infection the virus needs to cross the mucosal surface of the genital tract. The genital mucosa is thus considered to be the portal of HIV entry and initial site of viral replication. LÄS MER

  4. 9. Genetic variants of herpes simplex virus type 1

    Författare :Elham Rekabdar; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; s simplex virus type 1; glycoprotein G; genovariants; intrastrain diversity;

    Sammanfattning : Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) virus causes oral as well as genital lesions, and, on rare occasions, focal encephalitis and severe neonatal infections. Due to the partly overlapping clinical manifestations of infection with HSV-1 and its closest relative among herpesviruses, HSV-2, diagnostic methods are required to discriminate between infections with these two viruses.

  5. 10. Glycoprotein G of Herpes simplex virus type 2. Antigenicity and genetic variability

    Författare :Jan-Åke Liljeqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Herpes simplex virus type 2; glycoprotein G; antigenic regions; sequence variability;

    Sammanfattning : Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) causes genital lesions, meningitis and occasionally, severe neonatal infections. Globally HSV-2 infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. LÄS MER
