  1. 11. Neuropeptide expression in mouse disease models

    Författare :Margarita Diez; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Alzheimers disease; autoradiographic ligand binding; CCK; degeneration; dynorphin; enkephalin; galanin; immunohistochemistry; in situ hybridization; lesion; magnetic resonance imaging; megencephaly; NPY; prion infection; substance P.;

    Sammanfattning : The role of neuropeptides and the significance of peptidergic mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases are still relatively unexplored. In the periphery, nerve injury results in dramatic changes in the expression of neuropeptides (and other molecules). LÄS MER

  3. 12. Yersinia-phagocyte interactions during early infection

    Författare :Linda Westermark; Maria Fällman; Joan Mecsas; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Yersinia; dendritic cell; macrophage; neutrophil; T3SS; Infectious Diseases; infektionssjukdomar;

    Sammanfattning : Pathogenic Gram-negative Yersinia species preferentially target and inactivate phagocytic cells of the innate immune defense by translocation of effector Yersinia outer proteins (Yops) into the cells via a type III secretion system. This indicates that inactivation and avoidance of the early innate immune response is an efficient way for Yersinia species to avoid elimination and to cause diseases ranging from mild gastroenteritis (Y.

  4. 13. Development of vaccines and mouse models for chronic hepatitis C virus infection

    Författare :Sepideh Levander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major causative agent for severe liver disease and cancer worldwide. Globally, it is estimated that approximately 185 million people are infected with HCV and 130-170 million of these are chronic carriers of the virus (1, 2). LÄS MER

  5. 14. Studies on the Molecular Biology of the Mouse Pneumotropic Polyomavirus

    Författare :Shouting Zhang; Kristina Dörries; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; murine pneumotropic virus; Kilham mouse polyomavirus; large T antigen; enhancer; regulatory region rearrangement; gene expression regulation; DNA replication; transposable elements; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Sammanfattning : The Murine Pneumotropic Virus (MPtV), in contrast to the other MurinePolyomavirus (MPyV), appears to be non-tumourigenic in its natural host. Instead, MPtV causes acute pneumonia and can serve as a model in studies of polyomavirus-induced disease. In initial experiments, MPtV large T-antigen (LT) was expressed in a heterologous system.

  7. 15. Urinary tract infection : pathogenesis and complications

    Författare :Olof Hertting; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Urinary tract infections (UTI) are one of the most common infections in women and children worldwide. If not diagnosed and treated appropriately, it may lead to severe illness and long-term complications. The economic impact caused by UTI on society is significant. In addition, bacterial resistance to common antibiotics is spreading at a high rate. LÄS MER
