Degradation of immunoglobulins is an effective strategy of bacteria to evade the immune system. We have tested whether human IgG is a substrate for gingipain K of Porphyromonas gingivalis and found that the enzyme can hydrolyze subclass 1 and 3 of human IgG. The heavy chain of IgG(1) was cleaved at a single site within the hinge region, generating Fab and Fc fragments. IgG(3) was also cleaved with

120 credits The programme focusses on areas that play a central role in immunology and infection biology. You will take courses in microbiology, immunology and infection biology, during which theory is integrated with training of laboratory skills. You also have the possibility to achieve insights into the drug development process, from research to clinical use, and extensive training in oral and

Arsenik är ett mycket giftigt ämne som finns i berg, mark och grundvatten, och är känt för att orsaka allvarliga hälsoeffekter. Neurologiska skador hos människan inträffar vid koncentrationer så låga som 100 μg/L, medan 1–3 mg/kg kroppsvikt As är en dödlig dos. Exponering för As kan leda till bland annat cell- och DNA-skador, ett antal sjukdomar och störningar samt olika typer av cancer. Höga As-kArsenic is a very toxic element present in rocks, soils, and natural groundwater, and known to cause serious health effects. Neurological damage is known in humans to occur at concentrations as low as 100 μg/L, while 1–3 mg/kg of body weight As is a lethal dose. Exposure to As may lead to e.g. cellular injury and DNA damage, a number of diseases and disorders and several types of cancer. High conc
The thesis examines the commercialization of intimacy, love and relationships on Tinder. The thesis examines young adults' active use of the Tinder application, which offers an easily accessible love market with an abundance of potential partners. Furthermore, the essay focuses on the interviewees' views on lasting and volatile relationships in today's consumer society. The sample exam
Thrombospondins (TSPs) are multidomain oligomers that have complex roles in cell interactions and tissue organisation. The five vertebrate TSPs comprise two subgroups, A and B, that are assembled as trimers or pentamers, respectively. An invertebrate TSP was recently discovered in Drosophila melanogaster, but there is no knowledge of the oligomerisation status or properties of this molecule. We de
The endothelin B2 (ETB2) receptors are induced in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in cardiovascular diseases. We tested if in vitro short-term exposure to the pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) could up-regulate ETB2 receptors in rat mesenteric arteries, and if this effect is through activation of intracellular nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) pathway. The me
We study how close-in systems such as those detected by Kepler are affected by the dynamics of bodies in the outer system. We consider two scenarios: outer systems of giant planets potentially unstable to planet-planet scattering and wide binaries that may be capable of driving Kozai or other secular variations of outer planets' eccentricities. Dynamical excitation of planets in the outer system r
Unsaturated solute transport is highly variable and therefore difficult to predict. In semi-arid areas, where water resources are limited, the presence of macropores is of great importance for crop production. The bromide ion (Br-) and dye tracers are useful for studies of water movement. One approach to describe the heterogeneous solute transport is to apply the concept of fractals to a dataset.
Inherited resistance to activated protein C (APC) was recently discovered as a cause of familial thrombophilia and is now known to be the most common genetic risk factor for venous thrombosis. In a majority of cases, APC resistance is associated with a single point mutation in the factor V gene, which results in substitution of arginine (R) at position 506 by glutamine (Q) (FV:Q506). The mutation
This presentation is on ultrafast photoluminescence recombination phenomena from black silicon consisting of quantum pillars produced by plasma ion etching. An ultrafast blue luminescence component competing with non-radiative recombination at surface defects was quantified as originating from the no-phonon recombination. This component involves two decay processes with a peak energy at around 480
Benzodiazepine receptor binding heterogeneity evident from differential affinities of some ligands was compared with that suggested by differential interactions with γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)/bicuculline and pyrazolopyridine/barbiturate receptor sites. The GABA receptor antagonist bicuculline only partially reverses pentobarbital enhancement of [3H] diazepam binding in rat brain membranes, while
Recently BRCA1 has been implicated in the regulation of gene expression from the X chromosome. In this study the influence of BRCA1 on expression of X chromosome genes was investigated. Complementary DNA microarrays were used to compare the expression levels of X chromosome genes in 18 BRCA1-associated ovarian cancers to those of the 13 "BRCA1-like" and 14 "BRCA2-like" sporadic tumors (as defined
