11. Optimisation of diagnostic PCR a study of PCR inhibitors in blood and sample pretreatment
Sammanfattning : PCR is widely employed as a rapid, sensitive and specific molecular diagnostic technique in clinical diagnosis, environmental investigations and for monitoring biotechnical processes. However, the full potential of diagnostic PCR is limited, in part, by the presence of PCR-inhibitory substances in biological samples. LÄS MER
12. Genomic Diversity and Evolution of Parasitism in Nematode-trapping Fungi
Sammanfattning : Nematode-trapping fungi are soil-living organisms that have the ability to form infection structures, traps to capture nematodes. Many nematode species are parasites on plants and animals, which have resulted in an interest to use the nematode-trapping fungi as biological control agents. LÄS MER
13. Immunogenicity and protective potential of Protein D of Haemophilus influenzae against H. influenzae infection
Sammanfattning : Both Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and nontypeable H. influenzae (NTHi) are important human pathogens causing invasive and mucosal infections. Currently there are number of vaccines available against Hib infections. LÄS MER
14. On the outcome of antiviral therapy for hepatitis C virus genotype 2 or 3 infection
Sammanfattning : Abstract Approximately 80% of patients infected with HCV genotypes 2 or 3 achieve a sustained virological response (SVR), following 24 weeks of therapy with ribavirin and pegylated interferon (peg-IFN), but in light of considerable side effects and cost, shortened treatment duration without impaired efficacy is desirable. Thus, 382 genotype 2/3 infected patients were randomized in an investigator-initiated phase III study (NORDynamIC) evaluating the efficacy of 12 (short-term) vs. LÄS MER
15. Redox balancing in recombinant strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Sammanfattning : In metabolically engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing Pichia stipitis XYL1 and XYL2 genes, encoding xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH), respectively, xylitol is excreted as the major product during anaerobic xylose fermentation and only low yields of ethanol are produced. This has been interpreted as a result of the dual cofactor dependence of XR and the exclusive use of NAD+ by XDH. LÄS MER
