  1. 6. The importance of OuterMembrane Protein A in SerumResistance in Aggregatibacteractinomycetemcomitans serotype astrain D7SS

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för odontologi

    Author : Arvid Dahlstrand Rudin; John Burstedt; [2017]
    Keywords : Periodontal disease; Periodontitis; Aggressive periodontitis; Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans; Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans; Escherichia coli; Virulence factors; Complement system; Outer membrane vesicles; Membrane vesicles; Outer membrane proteins; OmpA; Omp100; Omp34; Omp29.;

    Abstract : The Gram-negative bacterium Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is primarily associatedwith aggressive forms of periodontal disease. Additionally, it has occasionally been found to causemetastatic infections in non-oral sites. This requires the ability to evade the bactericidal activity ofthe complement system of the humoral immune system. READ MORE

  3. 7. Changes in Binding Properties of  Helicobacter pylori Isolated over time from a Chronically Infected Patient

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för odontologi

    Author : Annika Desai; [2016]
    Keywords : Odontology; Helicobacter pylori;

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori infects over 50 % of the world’s population, causing gastritis, and in some cases, peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. Adherence to the gastric surface occurs primarily through H. pylori outer membrane proteins (HOPs) and is essential for bacterial survival and establishment of infection. READ MORE

  5. 9. Elucidation of the role of the MICOS complex in signal transduction from mitocondrial DNA nucleoids

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Michael Hellman; [2015]
    Keywords : tillämpad biokemi; applied biochemistry; Chemistry; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : The MICOS complex protein MicF has recently been identified to play a vital role in the mitochondrial DNA inheritance checkpoint, a control system that halts cell cycle progression in cells lacking mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). We show in this report that another member of the complex, MicA, also plays an important role in the mtDNA inheritance checkpoint as its deletion led to cell cycle progression in cells lacking mtDNA (Rho0 cells).

  6. 10. Chimeric MOMP : Expression of a Chlamydia Vaccine Candidate in Arabidopsis thaliana and Escherichia coli

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Akademin för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Stefan Kreida; [2011]
    Keywords : Chimeric MOMP; MOMP; Chlamydia trachomatis; Chlamydia vaccine; Arabidopsis thaliana; Major outer membrane protein;

    Abstract : Introduction Yearly, 90 million people are infected with C. trachomatis. Even though it is easily treated with antibiotics the often-asymptomatic infection often spreads prior to detection. A vaccine is therefore of great interest. READ MORE
