21. Effects of galectins and antibodies in HIV infection; Novel Assays
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
22. Studies towards ß-turn mimetics, synthesis of kedarosamine from threonine, and synthesis of glycopeptides from mucins and gp120
Sammanfattning : The secondary structure of proteins is crucial for proper function of the protein in biological systems. Peptide T, an octapeptide from the envelope glycoprotein gp120 of the HIV virus, has previously been shown to be responsible for binding to the CD4 receptor on T helper/inducer lymphocytes. LÄS MER
23. Glycoconjugates : Solid-phase synthesis and biological applications
Sammanfattning : Glycoconjugates are biologically important molecules with diverse functions. They consist of carbohydrates of varying size and complexity, attached to a non-sugar moiety as a lipid or a protein. Glycoconjugate structures are often very complex and their intricate biosynthetic pathways makes overexpression difficult. LÄS MER
24. Glycosylation in cancer and infection : the role of sialic acid
Sammanfattning : Sialic acids (SA), a group of nine-carbon backbone monosaccharides are abundantly expressed in vertebrates. They are usually linked to the terminal of glycan chains and play crucial roles in many biological processes, including cell adhesion, cell-cell interactions, immune modulation, cancer cell migration and invasion, as well as viral infections.

25. Streptococcus pyogenes secreted enzymes interacting with the human host
Sammanfattning : Streptococcus pyogenes is one of the most common bacteria infecting humans. One of the factors contributing to the disease-causing properties is the secreted streptococcal cysteine proteinase, SpeB, which degrades several host proteins in connective tissue and circulation. LÄS MER
