  1. 1. Interactions between herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoprotein C and cell surface glycosaminoglycans

    Författare :Kristina Mårdberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Herpes simplex virus-1; glycoprotein C; virus receptor; glycosaminoglycans; heparan sulfate; chondroitin sulfate;

    Sammanfattning : The cell surface glycosaminoglycan (GAG) heparan sulfate (HS) serves as an initial receptor for herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and virus attachment to the HS molecule is mediated by the envelope glycoprotein C (gC). In the first part of this thesis, we aimed to define the HS-binding domain of viral gC. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Immune recognition and early virus-cell interactions. Glycobiological aspects on HIV-1 gp120

    Författare :Gregers J. Gram; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 HIV-1 ; glycoprotein; gp120; glycosylation.;

    Sammanfattning : Human immunodeficiency virus types 1 and 2 (HIV-1 and HIV-2) are the etiological agents of AIDS in humans. The viral envelope glycoproteins gp120 and gp41 mediate the early virus-cell interaction of HIV with the target cells. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Glycoprotein G of Herpes simplex virus type 2. Antigenicity and genetic variability

    Författare :Jan-Åke Liljeqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Herpes simplex virus type 2; glycoprotein G; antigenic regions; sequence variability;

    Sammanfattning : Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) causes genital lesions, meningitis and occasionally, severe neonatal infections. Globally HSV-2 infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Functions of glycoprotein G of herpes simplex virus type 2

    Författare :Staffan Görander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Herpes simplex virus type 2; glycoprotein G-2; type specific serology; vaccine; Tanzania;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is a common sexually transmitted infection with more than 500 million individuals infected world-wide. A major global health problem is that HSV-2 infection facilitates the spread of HIV. This epidemiological situation warrants the development of a vaccine to reduce the spread of HSV-2. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Genetic variants of herpes simplex virus type 1

    Författare :Elham Rekabdar; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; s simplex virus type 1; glycoprotein G; genovariants; intrastrain diversity;

    Sammanfattning : Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) virus causes oral as well as genital lesions, and, on rare occasions, focal encephalitis and severe neonatal infections. Due to the partly overlapping clinical manifestations of infection with HSV-1 and its closest relative among herpesviruses, HSV-2, diagnostic methods are required to discriminate between infections with these two viruses.
