  1. 16. Development of a combined In-Cell ELISA and flow cytometry method for quantification of uptake of PEGylated nanoparticles by Raw264.7 and HepG2 cells

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Evelina Folkesson; [2016]
    Keywords : HepG2; Raw264.7; PEGylation; PEG; cancer; nanoparticles; In-Cell ELISA; flow cytometry; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Cancer is one of today’s most common causes of human mortality. For long, chemotherapeutics has been a conventional treatment of the disease, but due to its low precision and high frequency of side effects, this treatment has been highly debated. READ MORE

  3. 17. Lipid bilayers and their interactions with the antimicrobial peptide LL37: a TIR Raman study

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Rebecca Jacob; [2016]
    Keywords : TIR; Raman; LL37; lipid; bilayers; antimicrobial; peptide; AMP; resistance; antibiotics; DMPC; DOPC; DOPE; DOPG;

    Abstract : As a direct consequence of the misuse of antibiotics since its first discovery, bacteria have developed extensive resistance mechanisms making them once again potential lethal threats. This eventuality has triggered a vast research effort from scientists worldwide to find solutions to mitigate antimicrobial resistance. READ MORE

  4. 18. Expression and Purification of Recombinant Human S100A8 and S100A9 for Characterization of Their Roles as Danger Signals

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Rebecca Trang; [2015]
    Keywords : S100A9; DAMP; RAGE; TLR4; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; S100A8; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The direct involvement of S100 calcium-binding proteins A8 (S100A8) and A9 (S100A9) in numerous human diseases have been discovered more than 20 years ago, and they have ever since emerged as a very potent biomarker. Increased levels of S100A8 and S100A9 have been found in inflammation and various cancers. READ MORE

  5. 19. Effects on immune cell viability, morphology and proliferation in a sub-microliter cell sampler system

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Sofia Wiklund; [2013]
    Keywords : Cell-picker; sub-microliter cell sampler system; immune cells; T cells; NK cells; B cells; cell viability; morphology; proliferation; surface coating; microchip; wells; silicon chip; single-cell analysis; flow system; fluorescence microscopy; cell staining; characterization;

    Abstract : Today,   most traditional method used in the research of immune cells, such as flow   cytometry and microscopy, are based on average values of cell responses.   However, immune cells are heterogeneous and respond differently to a given   stimuli. READ MORE

  6. 20. Development of an in vitro assay for analysis of cellular uptake of nanoparticles

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Lina Olsson; [2013]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Abstract MRI, magnetic resonance imaging, is used for disease detection such as assessing blood flow, detecting tumours and diagnosing many forms of cancer. Contrast agents are chemical substances that increase the MRI sensitivity. One class of contrast agents are the so called nanoparticulate contrast agents. READ MORE
