21. Proteomics in neurological disease
Sammanfattning : Neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases are conditions affecting the central nervous system that in the end have dramatic impacts on the affected individuals and their families. Today, large efforts are made to understand the disease origin and progression. LÄS MER
22. Vaccination against Her2/neu : expressing cancer using chimeric virus-like particles
Sammanfattning : Thanks to the development of vaccines, children are these days protected against infectious diseases like polio, diphtheria and tetanus simply by receiving a few injections. Imagine a scenario where these injections would also result in protection against cancer. LÄS MER
23. Characterization and modulation of immunoregulatory molecules in neuroinflammation
Sammanfattning : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease affecting the central nervous system (CNS). Several lines of evidence suggest that MS is an immune-mediated disorder characterized by active and inactive phases, where changes in disease activity are reflected by changes in the expression patterns of immunoregulatory molecules.

24. Concepts in DNA immunization overcoming viral diversity and enhancing plasmid immunogenicity
Sammanfattning : On April 23, 1984, the prominent scientist Robert Gallo held a historical press conference at the Department of Health and Human Services, Washington D.C., USA. He announced that his laboratory at the National Institutes of Health had over the last months isolated a retrovirus named Human T-cell Leukemia Virus type III (HTLV-III). LÄS MER
25. Cellular Effects of Cystatins
Sammanfattning : The exact cellular functions of cystatins are still unknown, and the molecular mechanism leading to their internalization into cells is not yet fully understood. Commonly the cystatins are known to inhibit human lysosomal cysteine proteases (cysteine cathepsins) and it is supposed that this is their primary physiological role. LÄS MER
