Immunomodulation and immunopathogenesis in autoimmune disease with emphasis on autoimmune neuritis and arthritis
(2003-02-26)
Experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN) and arthritis are CD4+ T cell mediated autoimmune animal models for the study of immunomodulation and immunopathogenesis of human Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and rheumatoid arthritis ...
Structural and genetic characterization of lipopolysaccharides extracted from disease causing non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae strains
(2010-01-01)
This thesis deals with the structure and genetic blueprint of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) expressed by the Gram-negative bacterium Haemophilus influenzae (H.influenzae). H. influenzae is an opportunistic pathogen that regularly ...
Structural studies of lipopolysaccharides expressed by non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae strains
(2012-08-31)
The present thesis describes lipopolysaccharide (LPS) structures expressed by non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae strains. LPS is a major surface component of Gram-negative bacteria. Structural ...
Detailed structural studies towards the understanding of lipopolysaccharide glycan expression in non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae
(2008-02-22)
Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) is a host-adapted Gram-negative bacterium that regularly colonizes the respiratory tract of humans. Hi is an important cause of disease worldwide and exists in encapsulated and unencapsulated ...
Structural studies on lipopolysaccharides from haemophilus species
(2011-08-31)
Background: Carbohydrates are indispensable mediators for a variety of cellular interactions. In biological systems carbohydrates are usually linked to a carrier as e.g. proteins or lipids. One example is the molecule ...
