  1. 16. The importance of OuterMembrane Protein A in SerumResistance in Aggregatibacteractinomycetemcomitans serotype astrain D7SS

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för odontologi

    Author : Arvid Dahlstrand Rudin; John Burstedt; [2017]
    Keywords : Periodontal disease; Periodontitis; Aggressive periodontitis; Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans; Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans; Escherichia coli; Virulence factors; Complement system; Outer membrane vesicles; Membrane vesicles; Outer membrane proteins; OmpA; Omp100; Omp34; Omp29.;

    Abstract : The Gram-negative bacterium Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is primarily associatedwith aggressive forms of periodontal disease. Additionally, it has occasionally been found to causemetastatic infections in non-oral sites. This requires the ability to evade the bactericidal activity ofthe complement system of the humoral immune system. READ MORE

  3. 17. Prokaryotic expression of human complement regulator factor H domains and their interaction withPneumococcal surface protein PspC

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för bioteknologi (BIO)

    Author : Nils Lindström; [2017]
    Keywords : complement regulator; factor H; Pneumococci; interaction; E.coli; surface protein; PspC;

    Abstract : One of the oldest and most exciting questions in science is: are we alone in the universe? During the last four billion years of Earth’s history, countless organisms have inhabited almost every environmental niche on the planet, from the deepest sea to driest deserts. However, so far no extraterrestrial life has been found. READ MORE

  4. 18. Screening for adsorptions of Calbindin D9k and Monellin proteins to Silica nanoparticles

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Nora Klynning; [2017]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Although nanoparticles (NPs) are very small, their field in science is currently growing very large. There are several biological, medical and technical applications possible for NPs when bound to proteins. Protein-NP interactions are difficult to predict and therefore a lot of fundamental research is yet to be completed. READ MORE

  5. 19. Optimization and standardization of a novel method combining capillary electrophoresis and immunoblotting for the detection of the lectin pathway proteins.

    University essay from

    Author : Leila Farhat; [2017]
    Keywords : Collectin; Ficolin; MASP; MBL; WES;

    Abstract : The complement system is a part of the innate immunity. Its function is to eliminate pathogens, by proteins interacting directly with pathogen surfaces and promoting a pro-inflammatory and anti-microbial environment. READ MORE

  6. 20. Validation of a colorimetric method for determination of fructosamine in plasma usingMindray BS-380

    University essay from

    Author : Louise Eriksson; [2017]
    Keywords : Diabetes mellitus; glycated serum protein; HbA1c; precision; glucose.;

    Abstract : HbA1c and glucose are the most widely used indicators for glucose control, but they havesome disadvantages. Improving the diagnosis of diabetes is always ongoing, other markersare needed as a complement when standard measurements are not sufficient. One alternativeis analysis of fructosamine, which is commercially available and inexpensive. READ MORE
