  1. 1. Single-cell RNA-seq mapping of chicken leukocytes : An investigation into single-cell transcriptomics as an alternative to traditional immunological methods within non-traditional model organisms

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrobiologi och immunologi

    Author : Matilda Maxwell; [2023]
    Keywords : Bioinformatics; scRNA-seq; avian; immunology; Seurat; leukocytes; chicken; gallus gallus; 10x genomics; PCA;

    Abstract : The immune system is a complex infrastructure where many cells interact with each other and perform duties depending on their type and function. When using traditional immunological methods in studying non-traditional model organisms, such as birds, challenges arise. READ MORE

  3. 2. Hemagglutinin reassortment dynamics of the zoonotic H9N2 avian influenza virus

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

    Author : Steinar S Mannsverk; [2020]
    Keywords : Avian influenza virus; H9N2; HA subtypes; Reassortment; Reverse Genetics; Zoonosis;

    Abstract : The H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV) has emerged, spread and established itself in poultry globally, in just under 30 years. During this time, multiple reassortants of H9N2 with increased zoonotic potential have been isolated in poultry and humans, causing a major threat to the economy and global health. READ MORE

  4. 3. Omvårdnad vid blodprovstagning och venpunktion på fåglar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Author : Linn Knutsson; [2014]
    Keywords : exotiska sällskapsdjur; fåglar; blodprov; venpunktion; omvårdnad;

    Abstract : Blood sampling is one of the most important diagnostic tools in veterinary medicine, and this is also true for avian medicine. A properly collected and handled venous sample can be used for serology, biochemistry and electrolyte analysis, as well as for blood smears, packed cell volume and cell differentiation. READ MORE

  5. 4. PDZ Binding Motif of NS1 Proteins of  Influenza A Viruses: : A Virulent Factor in the Expression of Interferon-β?

    University essay from Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Thuan To; [2012]
    Keywords : H5N1; PBM; avian influenza viruses; non-structural protein 1; IFN-β production;

    Abstract : Background:  The PDZ domain is a peptide sequence of 80-90 amino acids and can be found in e.g. bacteria, animals and plants. These domains are commonly part of the cytoplasmic and membrane adapter proteins and its function are important in protein-protein interactions. READ MORE

  6. 5. Measurement and validation of urinary cystatin C by particle-enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay on Architect ci8200

    University essay from Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Feria Hikmet Noraddin; [2011]
    Keywords : avian antibodies; cystatin C; method validation; particle-enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay; urine;

    Abstract : Cystatin C, a 13 kDa low molecular weight protein is an inhibitor of cysteine proteases. Due to its low molecular weight and positive charge at physiological pH, it is freely filtered by the glomerulus and catabolized after reabsorption by proximal tubular cells with a low concentration (0.03-0.3 mg/L) in urine amongst healthy subjects.
