1. Studies of Vibrio cholerae toxins (zonula occludens toxin and hemagglutinin/protease) and their effects on epithelial cells
Sammanfattning : Intestinal epithelium is important for absorption of nutrients and for defense against harmful substances in the gut. The permeability and barrier functions of epithelia are mainly controlled by intercellular tight junctions. LÄS MER
2. Structure, specificity and binding properties of a blood group A reactive hemagglutinin from the snail Helix pomatia
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
3. Variable viral genes as genetic immunogens
Sammanfattning : Influenza and HIV-1 are two highly variable viruses that cause extensive morbidity and mortality in many countries. The most cost-effective medical intervention against influenza is vaccination but this has to be repeated annually because of the low antigenicity of the vaccine. LÄS MER
4. Influenza specific T- and B-cell responses in immunosuppressed patients
Sammanfattning : Influenza, known as the ‘flu’, is a recurrent acute viral infection that might cause severe inflammation, particularly in vulnerable individuals, i.e. young children, the elderly, and immune-suppressed patients, such as stem cell transplant recipients. LÄS MER
5. Influenza neuraminidase assembly : Evolution of domain cooperativity
Sammanfattning : Influenza A virus (IAV) is one of the most common viruses circulating in the human population and is responsible for seasonal epidemics that affect millions of individuals worldwide. The need to develop new drugs and vaccines against IAVs led scientists to study the main IAV surface antigens hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). LÄS MER
