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

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Anna-Malin Hallberg; [2021]
    Keywords : HIV; PCR; primers; probes; virus; detection; blood plasma; pathogen; biological pharmaceutical; protein-based pharmaceutical; genotype; subtype; RT qPCR; extraction; TaqMa; RNA virus; cross-dimer; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Biological pharmaceuticals are the answer to many severe diseases of today’s society. Some of these are protein-based drugs and can be produced from human blood plasma. In order to guarantee the safety of patients, absence of any pathogens needs to be ensured. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. 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. 4. Development and validation of a novel quantitative PCR analysis method for HIV-1

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Josefine Sundgren; [2020]
    Keywords : HIV-1; qPCR; Octapharma; Taqman; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The major problem when developing primers and probe sets for detection of HIV-1 is its high genetic variability and strong ability to mutate. HIV-1 is divided into four groups, M, N, O, P based on genetic similarities, and there are more than 70 different circulating recombinant forms. READ MORE

  6. 5. Dependence of HIV drug resistance on the early warning indicator drug stock out, especially in middle-income countries

    University essay from Södertörns högskola/Miljövetenskap

    Author : Mathilda Rudén; [2017]
    Keywords : Error-prone; Poor adherence; Early warning indicators;

    Abstract : Background: HIV drug resistance is presumed to be inevitable due to the error-prone nature of the virus. However, poor adherence to the antiretroviral drugs is proven to be an impending factor for HIV drug resistance development. READ MORE
