1. Polyomavirus infections in humans
Sammanfattning : The human polyomaviruses BKV and JCV are endemic and infect > 70% of population worldwide. Primary infections occur during childhood and are largely subclinical. Following primary infection, both viruses persist as latent infections in the kidneys and B lymphocytes. LÄS MER
2. Uukuniemi virus-like particles : a model system for bunyaviral assembly
Sammanfattning : Viruses are intracellular parasites that are unable to multiply except when inside a living cell of a host. Outside their host they remain inert. LÄS MER
3. 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
4. Studies on polyomavirus virus-like particles : as vaccines and vectors for immune and gene therapy
Sammanfattning : Virus-like particles (VLPs) are similar to natural virus particles except that they lack viral genes. They have a similar cellular uptake to the natural virus from which they are derived but are non-infectious and can therefore not reproduce themselves. LÄS MER
5. Murine polyomavirus VP1 virus-like particles as vectors for gene therapy and as vaccines against polyomavirus infection and tumors
Sammanfattning : Murine polyomavirus (MPyV) is a double stranded DNA virus ubiquitous in mice. The virus genome encodes for three transforming antigens that interact with the host cell machinery in order to initiate viral production. The transforming antigens can under certain circumstances when not controlled, e.g. LÄS MER
