  1. 1. Dependence-induced changes in opioid-receptor gene expression

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

    Author : Anna Johansson; [2013]
    Keywords : Neuropeptides; Alcohol; Gene expression; C57 BL6 mice model; Addiction; VTA; Opioid Receptors; Reward; Quantitative RT-PCR; neoropeptider; gene expression; real tids-PCR;

    Abstract : Using drugs such as alcohol and morphine among others can be addictive in some individuals, and progress into a substance abuse disorder. The mesolimbic dopaminergic system (MD-system) is involved in the reward process during the development of drug addiction. READ MORE

  2. 2. Development of a real-time RT-PCR for quantification of bovine TLR4 mRNA and evaluation of its use during a BRSV vaccine challenge

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

    Author : Krister Blodörn; [2011]
    Keywords : BRSV; bovine respiratory syncytial virus; TLR4; Toll-like receptor 4;

    Abstract : The Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) causes bronchiolitis and interstitial pneumonia, predominantly in calves, and is a major cause of bovine respiratory disease worldwide. In humans, BRSV is paralleled by the closely related Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), an important cause of respiratory disease, most severe in infants. READ MORE

  3. 3. Normalization of microRNA expression levels in Quantitative RT-PCR arrays

    University essay from Institutionen för vård och natur

    Author : Ameya Deo; [2010]
    Keywords : Normalization; MicroRNA; Quantile; qRT-PCR;

    Abstract : Background: Real-time quantitative Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) is recently used for characterization and expression analysis of miRNAs. The data from such experiments need effective analysis methods to produce reliable and high-quality data. READ MORE

  4. 4. Interferon expression in feline Borna disease

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

    Author : Carolina Ilbäck; [2010]
    Keywords : Borna disease;

    Abstract : Borna disease is caused by Borna disease virus (BDV). This disease is characterised as a neurogical illness of the central nervous system (CNS), known to occur in several vertebrates like horses, cats and sheep. Cats mainly at the age of 1 to 4 years, living outdoors, have also been shown to subtract the BDV infection. READ MORE

  5. 5. Expression patterns of pathogenicity genes during Phytophthora pisi infection of pea roots

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Sara Hosseini; [2010]
    Keywords : pathogenicity genes; expression patterns; Phytophthora pisi; pea roots;

    Abstract : The genus Phytophthora (phylum Oomycota), contains destructive plant pathogens that cause enormous economic damage to many important crop species. These fungus-like microorganisms employ diverse mechanisms to break down plant defences. READ MORE
