    • The contribution of epidermal apoptosis to the clinical outcome of Leishmania aethiopica induced cutaneous Leishmaniasis, and its laboratory diagnosis using low cost culture media 

      Tasew Guma, Geremew (Institutionen för mikrobiologi, tumör- och cellbiologi / Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology, 2010-02-23)
      Background: Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) induced by Leishmania aethiopica has two clinical manifestations: ulcerating, self-healing CL and non-ulcerating, non-healing CL. The grossly disfiguring multiple nodules on the ...

    • Improving the immunogenicity of HIV-1 DNA vaccines 

      Hallengärd, David (Institutionen för mikrobiologi, tumör- och cellbiologi / Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology, 2010-02-05)
      Nearly 30 years have passed since the start of the global HIV epidemic and we are still unable to control the spread of the virus. HIV predominately infects cells crucial for the function of the immune system, integrates ...

      Ghebremichael, Solomon (Institutionen för mikrobiologi, tumör- och cellbiologi / Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology, 2010-04-21)
      Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC), is a serious infection in man and animals. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), about one third of the world´s population is infected ...

    • Serodiagnostics of schistosomiasis using keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) as antigen 

      Thors, Cecilia (Mikrobiologiskt och Tumörbiologiskt Centrum (MTC) / Microbiology and Tumor Biology Center (MTC), 2006-04-20)
      The diagnostics of invasive helminth infections is often indirect and based on antibody detection in serum specimens from infected individuals. This is the case in schistosomiasis (bilharzia) where no excreted eggs can be ...

    • Diabetes, physical activity and endometrial cancer 

      Friberg, Emilie (Institutionen för mikrobiologi, tumör- och cellbiologi / Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology, 2006-11-22)
      Accumulating evidence suggests that hyperinsulinemia, in the context of insulin resistance, is associated with carcinogenesis. Physical activity is involved in the regulation of metabolic and hormonal pathways and is an ...
