1. 6. Evaluation of the gene expression of STING, IFN‐β and osteopontin in tissue obtained from pigs treated with Matrix‐M

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

   Author : Navisraj Balagunaseelan; [2014]
   Keywords : STING ; OPN; MATRIX‐M; type I interferons;

   Abstract : Matrix‐M is the adjuvant component in traditional ISCOM vaccines. The adjuvant when used along with antigen increases the efficiency of the vaccines by inducing a balanced Th1/Th2 response and a long‐lasting antibody response. READ MORE

3. 7. Immunologiska mekanismer involverade i patogenesen vid bovin neosporos

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

   Author : Mikael Palmfjord; [2011]
   Keywords : Neospora caninum; Patogenes; Immunologi; Nötkreatur; Dräktighet; Abort;

   Abstract : Den intracellulära protozoon Neospora caninum är en viktig orsak världen över till abort hos nötkreatur. De exakta bakomliggande mekanismerna till abort är omdiskuterade och sambanden verkar vara komplexa. Immunförsvar hos såväl moder som foster har en roll i patogenesen. READ MORE

4. 8. Effects of different conditions of HIV-1 on plasmacytoid dendritic cells in maturation and function

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Susana Häggqvist; [2008]
   Keywords : Plasmacytoid dendritic cells; Interferon-α; HIV-1; complement and immune complexed opsonized.;

   Abstract : Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs) are one cellular target of HIV-1 and respond to the virus by producing type I interferons and chemokines. PDCs exposed to HIV-1 strongly upregulate the expression of maturation markers such as CD83, CD80, CD86 and CCR7, which will turn them into professional antigen presenting cells with the ability to stimulate naïve CD4+T cells.

5. 9. Immunostimulatory DNA : studies on the importance of secondary structure formation and CpG-motifs for IFN-alpha induction/inhibition using ODNs related to the genome of porcine circovirus type 2

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Molecular Biosciences

   Author : Josefine Elving; [2006]
   Keywords : interferon; porcine circovirus; PCV-2; CpG; secondary structure; inhibitory; PCR; ODN;

   Abstract : Nucleotide sequences containing CpG-motifs are recognized as immunomodulators in pigs among other species. Phosphodiester oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs), such as ODN H, have been demonstrated to be potent inducers of interferon-alpha (INF-alpha) in porcine blood mononuclear cells (poPBMC) provided they are pre-treated with Lipofectin®.

6. 10. Interferon-α-modulatory sequences from the genome of porcine circovirus type 2

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Molecular Biosciences

   Author : Frida Hasslung; [2003]
   Keywords : interferon; porcine circovirus; PCV-2; CpG; inhibitory;

   Abstract : Porcine circovirus (PCV) type 2 is an emerging pathogen among pigs, which has been associated with several severe disease syndromes. To date little is known of the pathogenesis and epidemiology of PCV, and how the virus affects the immune system of the host. READ MORE
