  1. 6. Development of a new quantitative PCR analysis method for HIV-1

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Jacob Schöldström Degenne; [2021]
    Keywords : qPCR; HIV; HIV-1; Primer; Probe; TaqMan; Genotype; Sensitivity; Specificity; qPCR; HIV; HIV-1; Primer; Probe; TaqMan; Genotyp;

    Abstract : På grund av planerat tillverkningsstopp av instrumenten som används idag på Octapharma AB, så syftar detta projekt till nyutvecklingen av en kvantitativ PCR analysmetod för detektion av HIV-1 i human blodplasma, genom TaqMankemi. Projektet inkluderade design, testning och utvärdering av olika set av primer och probe sekvenser. READ MORE

  3. 7. Minimizing Liquid Waste in Peptide Synthesis : A New Application for the Rotating Bed Reactor

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Peter Nordström; [2021]
    Keywords : Chemical reactor; Rotating Bed Reactor; Solid-phase peptide synthesis; Peptide synthesis.;

    Abstract : Peptide drugs are used to treat a broad spectrum of diseases such as cancer and HIV and have many more promising applications, such as new vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. The most popular manufacturing method for peptides is solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). The main drawback of SPPS is that it is a costly and wasteful process. READ MORE

  4. 8. Utilizing cytotoxic lymphocytes for indirect shock-and-kill strategy in HIV-1 treatment

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

    Author : Joana FIlipa Furtado Milão; [2021]
    Keywords : HIV-1; Shock-and-kill strategy; NK cells; latency reservoir; HIV-1 treatment;

    Abstract : Despite the existence of a treatment, there is still not a cure for HIV-1 infection and there arearound 700 000 deaths per year from AIDS-related diseases. A major barrier for a cure is theestablishment of latent reservoirs that are impossible to distinguish from healthy cells and thuscan escape the immune system. READ MORE

  5. 9. Viral Voices. Digital storytelling, women and HIV in Podcast Positivos: Mujeres VIHvas project

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Forum för genusvetenskap och jämställdhet

    Author : Cristina Arcas Noguera; [2020]
    Keywords : HIV; AIDS; women; silence; voice; disclosure; hegemonic herstory; digital storytelling; performing narratives; intersectionality; cyborg; podcast;

    Abstract : Despite being considered as the most social infection, there is little data on HIV infection in women. Women have not been considered beyond their reproductive role as subjects with a sexuality that transcends the historical mandate of biological reproduction, maintaining a secondary role in the infection.

  6. 10. A Convolutional Neural Network for predicting HIV Integration Sites

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Senad Matuh Delic; [2020]
    Keywords : HIV; provirus; integration sites; deep learning; convolutional neural network; HIV; provirus; integration sites; deep learning; convolutional neural network;

    Abstract : Convolutional neural networks are commonly used when training deep networks with time-independent data and have demonstrated positive results in predicting DNA binding sites for DNA-binding proteins. Based upon the success of convolutional neural networks in predicting DNA binding sites of proteins, this project intends to determine if a convolutional neural network could predict possible HIV-B provirus integration sites.
