• Purification of the recombinantly produced Helicobacter pylori antigens NAP and FlaA 

      Lea, Ingrid (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-06-01)
      Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative flagellated bacterium that infects the stomach of around 50 % of the worlds population, and can give rise to serious disease such as chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcer and stomach cancer. The current treatment against H. pylori, consisting of a combination of a proton pump inhibitor and two different antibiotics, is effective but has several drawbacks such as ...
    • Regulation of prostanoid effects in whole blood : immediate-early anti-inflammatory effects of prostaglandin E2 

      Phung, Danh Thanh (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-06-01)
      To understand the regulation of the pathophysiological processes, such as inflammation, thrombosis and atherosclerosis, it is very important to characterize the interactions between circulating cells and which molecules that contributes to and promote these interactions. As a part of this, the role of eicosanoids in cell-cell interactions in whole blood ex vivo and isolated blood cells are investigated. ...
    • Structure, function and ligand interactions of the ecdysone receptor from Daphnia magna 

      Evenseth, Linn Mari (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-06-02)
      Background: Endocrine disruptors are of an increasing concern to the global environment due to their ability to modulate endocrine processes and cause adverse apical effects. Invertebrates are important species in the aquatic environment and are a central subject for toxicological testing, but the effects of endocrine disruptors (EDs) in invertebrates are limited due to less knowledge concerning the ...
    • Studies of genes potentially involved in the induction of flowering in Festuca pratensis (Huds.) 

      Henriksen, Hanne F. (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2006-06-08)
      Many plants in northern regions require a period of low temperatures and short days (called vernalisation) during the winter season to initiate the flowering process. In this experiment, some genes thought to be involved in vernalisation response and induction of flowering in meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis) has been investigated. The genes were chosen based on their possible contribution in the ...
    • A study of regulatory small RNAs in Vibrio salmonicida: construction of a knock-out mutant and a cDNA library 

      Nyrud, May Liss Julianne (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-06-01)
      The marine fish pathogen Vibrio salmonicida is the causative agent for vibriosis in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.), Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.). V. salmonicidas virulence is regulated by Quorum sensing (QS) systems, which includes important regulatory small RNAs (sRNAs). sRNAs have the last years been identified in large numbers, and mostly in pathogenic ...
