(Master thesis, 2018)CAAX amino-terminal protease familien (heretter omtalt som CAAX-proteiner), består av antatt membranbundne metallproteaser. Dette er proteiner som finnes i både eukaryote- og prokaryote celler, men deres funksjon i prokaryote ... -
Characterisation of miRNA variation in Small RNA-Seq data
(Master thesis, 2022)Evidence suggests that miRNA signatures could have clinical applications as biomarkers for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. In standard analyses, miRNAs are considered to exist as well-defined features with a precise ... -
Characterization of cytostatic drug responses and signaling aberrations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia
(Master thesis, 2016-08-09)Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a heterogeneous disease with variable clinical courses. The disease is incurable, but a third to half of the patients may never need treatment. For those who need treatment, the options ... -
Characterization of immune cells in non-small cell lung cancer
(Master thesis, 2015-11-02)Lung cancer is the fourth most prevalent cancer in Norway, holding first place in mortality rate. Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is the most frequent type, representing about 85% of all lung cancer patients. Presently, ... -
Characterization of Lactococcus garvieae from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in Spain and Turkey
(Master thesis, 2019)Lactococcus garvieae is an emerging pathogen that causes mortalities in various farmed fish species, resulting in significant economic losses in aquaculture worldwide. The Gram-positive bacteria is pathogenic to both ... -
Class II bacteriocins : target recognition, resistance and immunity
(PhD Thesis;2011:11, Doctoral thesis, 2011)Bacteriocins are bacterial antimicrobial peptides which are active against strains often closely related to the producer. Bacteriocins produced by food grade lactic acid bacteria are considered promising for applications ... -
Co-immunoprecipitation with the multi-peptide bacteriocin GarKS immunity protein
(Master thesis, 2019)Garvicin KS (GarKS) is a bacteriocin recently discovered in Lactococcus garvieae belonging to a novel group of multi-peptide bacteriocins, whose receptor and mode of action is unknown. In this thesis heterologous expression ... -
