EndoS from Streptococcus pyogenes efficiently hydrolyzes the functionally important and conserved N-linked glycan of IgG in human blood. Repeated i.v. administration of EndoS in rabbits completely hydrolyzes the glycans of the whole IgG pool, despite the generation of anti-EndoS antibodies. EndoS administration had no apparent effects on the health of the animals. EndoS hydrolysis of the IgG glyca
Across Europe, freshwater ecosystems were simultaneously shaped by climate variability, land-use intensification, and accelerating socio-economic pressures, yet their combined effects on surface water quality and freshwater ecosystem service (FES) potential remained poorly understood at large spatial scales. While individual stressors were often examined in isolation, their interaction across hete
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of invasive bacterial infections in human newborns. A key GBS virulence factor is its capsular polysaccharide (CPS), displaying terminal sialic acid (Sia) residues which block deposition and activation of complement on the bacterial surface. We recently demonstrated that GBS Sia can bind human CD33-related Sia-recognizing immunoglobulin (Ig) superfami
Title: Supply Services to Arctic Offshore Operations; Macro-environment, Market Demand, and Business Potentials – The Case of Maersk Supply Service Authors: Linnea Sonesson – Master of Science in Business Administration and Technology Management Patrik Torstensson – Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering and Technology Management Supervisors: Bertil Nilsson – Adjunct Professor, Department
Issue of study: A forecasted increase in energy demand and consumption, together with a decrease of existing oil and gas reserves, has led the oil and gas producers to new areas beyond the conventional oil and gas regions. The Arctic, an area mainly located north of the Arctic Circle, is believed to hold very large potential of the world’s yet-to-be discovered oil and gas reserves. In addition, th
This study focus on influence of different drying and annealing conditions on the mechanical properties and film formation of the produced paint which is based on a novel hydroplasticized polymer dispersion. Two different coalescing agents with different polarity and a neat sample with two different thicknesses were used in order to study the influence of coalescing agent’s polarity, thickness and
Lymphocytes from human peripheral blood were separated by Countercurrent distribution (CCD) in a charged aqueous two-phase system composed of Dextran T 500 and polyethylene glycol 6000. Maximal responses to the T-cell mitogens phytohemagglutinin and concanavalin A were detected in a part of the distribution corresponding to the area where the highest percentage of E rosetting cells were seen. Anti
Regular prophylactic treatment with factor VIII (FVIII) and factor IX (FIX) concentrates in hemophilia A and B, respectively, is introduced in early infancy and has resulted in dramatic improvement of the conditions. Recombinant FVIII and FIX concentrates have been available for > 25 years and have been modified and refined through the years; however, unfortunately frequent intravenous administrat
We have characterized 2 distinct mechanisms through which infectious agents may promote platelet adhesion and thrombus formation in flowing blood, thus contributing to the progression of disease. In one case, the process initiates when the integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) mediates platelet arrest onto immobilized bacterial constituents that have bound plasma fibrinogen. If blood contains antibodies agai
To provide more integrated care, several countries have implemented the Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) model. However, this model does not guarantee full integration, especially in complex and fragmented service systems like in Norway. Hence, we investigated which barriers that might reduce the potential for integrated care in the Norwegian system, as described by staff in FACT team
Protein ADP-ribosylation is a reversible post-translational modification that regulates important cellular functions. The identification of modified proteins has proven challenging and has mainly been achieved via enrichment methodologies. Random mutagenesis was used here to develop an engineered Af1521 ADP-ribose binding macro domain protein with 1000-fold increased affinity towards ADP-ribose. T
The state of India acknowledges the rights of children as a guiding national policy principle, but also outsources much rights implementation to private actors such as NGOs. This article asks what happens to the concept of ‘rights’ when their implementation is dependent on the voluntary sector. Based on ethnographic material from one NGO-dependent child rights programme, and with the conceptual fr
