Enzymes that affect glycoproteins of the human immune system, and thereby modulate defense responses, are abundant among bacterial pathogens. Two endoglycosidases from the human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes, EndoS and EndoS2, have recently been shown to hydrolyze N-linked glycans of human IgG. However, detailed characterization and comparison of the hydrolyzing activities have not been performe
Homozygous C2 deficiency (C2D) is the most common deficiency of the classical complement pathway in Western countries. It is mostly found in patients with autoimmune disease or susceptibility to bacterial infections and in healthy persons. We wished to assess to what extent other immunological factors might explain differences of susceptibility to infections in C2D. For this reason, 44 Swedish pat
Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) communication systems are being investigated intensively for positioning services. Enhancing the accuracy on these services in terms of accurate positioning of users is an important goal to improve related applications in the future. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) has been proposed to infer the position of a user from Channel State Information (C
In anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease, IgG class autoantibodies induce rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. Regrettably, many patients are diagnosed at a late stage when even intensive conventional treatment fails to restore renal function The endopeptidase IdeS (Immunoglobulin G degrading enzyme of Streptococcus pyogenes) (imliflidase) rapidly cleaves all human IgG subclasses
The reactivity of the benzenedithiolate (bdt)-bridged complex [Fe2(CO)6(µ-bdt)] with arsine, stibine and phosphine ligands has been studied. The new mono- and disubstituted complexes [Fe2(CO)5(EPh3)(µ-bdt)] (E = As, 1; E = Sb 3) and [Fe2(CO)4(EPh3)2(µ-bdt)] (E = As, 2; E = Sb, 4) and the previously reported [Fe2(CO)4(PPh2H)2(µ-bdt)] (5) have been prepared by Me3NO-initiated carbonyl substitution r
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vad framgång är i dagens skandinaviska elitfotbollsklubbar och vilka strategier som är användbara för att uppnå denna. Uppsatsen ämnar således belysa och klargöra de viktigaste aspekterna i en lyckad strategi inom en modern skandinavisk fotbollsklubb. Med denna kunskap har vi för avsikt att återge en bild över hur en elitfotbollsklubb strategiskt bör organiser

Popular Abstract in Swedish Grupp B streptokocker (GBS; Streptococcus agalactiae) är den vanligaste orsaken till livs-hotande infektioner hos nyfödda barn. Enbart i USA orsakar GBS ~10 000 fall av meningit (hjärnhinneinflammation), pneumoni (lunginflammation) och sepsis (blodförgiftning) varje år. Infektionerna har hög dödlighet och en stor del av de barn som överlever infektionerna får bestående Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus) and the group B streptococcus (GBS) are two important human pathogens that cause different types of diseases and express different surface structures implicated in virulence. This thesis focuses on several surface proteins expressed by these pathogens, analyzing the biological function of these proteins and their ability to elicit protective immunity.
Background: Ocrelizumab is a humanized anti-CD20 antibody with increased antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity compared with rituximab. This phase I/II study evaluated its safety and efficacy in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) after prior rituximab therapy. Design and methods: Forty-seven patients were treated in three dose cohorts and received eight infusions every 3
This study explores the use of manganese ore, iron-carbon particles (Fe-C), and gravel as anode fillers in electroactive constructed wetlands (ECWs) to treat wastewater containing pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) including ciprofloxacin (CIP), ofloxacin (OFL), and naproxen (NPX), while also assessing bioelectricity production. Although the presence of PPCPs reduced pollutant remo
Streptococcus pyogenes is one of the most common bacteria infecting humans. One of the factors contributing to the disease-causing properties is the secreted streptococcal cysteine proteinase, SpeB, which degrades several host proteins in connective tissue and circulation. SpeB activity depends on the transformation from an inactive precursor, zymogen, into a mature proteinase. We show that
Recent epidemiological data on diseases caused by beta-hemolytic streptococci belonging to Lancefield group C and G ( GCS, GGS) underline that they are an emerging threat to human health. Among various virulence factors expressed by GCS and GGS isolates from human infections, M and M-like proteins are considered important because of their anti-phagocytic activity. In addition, protein G has been i
