1. 1. Effect of training and feeding on saliva concentrations of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein neo-epitope (COMP664) and neuropeptide Substance P in horses

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

   Author : Ebba Arrhult; [2024]
   Keywords : osteoarthritis; horse; biomarker; saliva; exercise; training; feeding;

   Abstract : Osteoarthritis (OA) is a low-grade inflammatory disease associated with subsequent lameness and chronic joint pain. Lameness caused by degenerative joint disorders is perceived as one of the most common clinical problems for the equine athlete, advocating the severity of OA as a welfare and clinical issue.

3. 2. Characterization of Antigenic Properties of Two Immunogenic Proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae 

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

   Author : Mawj Jasimalsalih; [2023]
   Keywords : Immunogenic Proteins; PrsA; MalX; Membrane Vesicles; Protein Properties; Streptococcus pneumoniae virulence factors;

   Abstract : The bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus), is considered to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, particularly in infants and the elderly. It is one of the most frequent causes of respiratory tract infections, which sporadically have the potential to develop into serious invasive symptoms including sepsis and meningitis. READ MORE

4. 3. Immunological Cross-Reactivity : Construction of a Workflow That Enables Cross-Reactivity Predictions

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Alexander Blomlöf; Alvin Unge; Petter Byström; Erika Lindberg; Torbjörn Fries; [2022]
   Keywords : Cross- reactivity; Immunology; Epitope; Paratope; Antibody; Prediction; Substitution analysis; Proximity Extension Assay; Bioinformatic tools;

   Abstract : Cross-reactivity occurs when an antibody binds to the epitope of a protein that is not the targeted antigen. This is problematic in the analysis of immunoassay diagnostics. Detecting a protein incorrectly might cause issues such as incorrect mapping of metabolic conditions for research or diagnosis. READ MORE

5. 4. Evaluation of the immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 B cell epitopes

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

   Author : Sofia Hogander; [2022]
   Keywords : SARS-CoV-2; peptide vaccine; B cell epitope; ELISA; solid phase peptide synthesis;

   Abstract : Background: The COVID-19 pandemic is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which enter the host cells through interactions between the receptor-binding domain (RBD) on the S-protein and the ACE-2 receptor on the host cell. A novel type of vaccine strategy is peptide vaccines, with great potential as a faster and more selective approach to conventional vaccine development. READ MORE

6. 5. Unraveling gene gene interactions in rheumatoid arthritis

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Saad Salman Khan Lodhi; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systematic autoimmune disorder characterized by a persistent joint inflammation. A subset of HLA-DRB1 alleles known as shared epitope (SE) are the strongest genetic risk factors to develop anti-citrullinated protein antibody positive (ACPA-positive) RA. READ MORE
