1. Cellular Immune Responses to Cytomegalovirus
Sammanfattning : Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a widespread infection affecting 50-90% of the human population. A typical silent primary infection is followed by life-long persistence in the host under control by virus-specific CD8 (“killer”) and CD4 (“helper”) T cells. LÄS MER
2. Human cytomegalovirus immune evasion strategies
Sammanfattning : Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a member of the herpes virus family. HCMV is a ubiquitous pathogen, causing severe morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients, and is a major factor in congenital birth defects. LÄS MER
3. Mapping viruses in non-malignant tonsils, nasal polyps, sinonasal inverted papilloma and laryngeal cancer
Sammanfattning : Background: The upper respiratory tract is exposed to viruses, which can lead to infection and cancer development. We chose to study common and/or chronic diseases along with common and cancer related viruses in the upper airway. LÄS MER
4. Cytomegalovirus Infection in Immunocompetent and Renal Transplant Patients : Clinical Aspects and T-cell Specific Immunity
Sammanfattning : Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a β-herpesvirus that, after primary infection, establishes a life-long persistence in the human host. Up to 90% of humans are infected with CMV, that is kept under control by CMV-specific CD8+ and CD4+ T cells. In patients with an impaired cellular immunity, however, CMV infections can be life-threatening. LÄS MER
5. Towards understanding of human cytomegalovirus in glioblastoma
Sammanfattning : Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a widely prevalent herpesvirus. Following an active primary infection, often asymptomatic or subclinical in immunocompetent individuals, the virus establishes latency. LÄS MER
