Systematic evaluation of RT-qPCR kits and protocols for detection and quantitation of microRNAs
(Master thesis, 2019)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small single-stranded non-coding RNAs with an average length of ~ 22 nucleotides. The main function of miRNA is post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression by targeting specific mRNAs. The ... -
Target prediction and functional validation of MicroRNA for coagulation factor V and TFPI in liver cancer
(Master thesis, 2019)Background: The connection between cancer and increased risk of thrombosis is well established and liver cancer (HCC) patients have been found to have an increased risk of thrombosis. microRNAs (miRNA) are post-transcriptional ... -
Targeting of lactobacillus to M-cells to improve its potential as vaccine delivery vector
(Master thesis, 2015-07-30)This thesis describes a part of a larger project aimed at developing oral mucosal vaccines based on lactic acid bacteria (LAB). LAB are considered attractive candidates as vaccine delivery vectors because of their Generally ... -
Termodynamiske signaturer for substratbindende residuer i ChiB fra Serratia marcescens
(Master thesis, 2015-11-05)Denne oppgaven er skrevet som en del av et større forskningsprosjekt der målet er å tilegne seg kunnskap om enzymer som katalyserer hydrolyse av den uløselige polymeren kitin. Kitin består av β-(1,4)-bundet N-acetyl-D-gl ... -

(Master thesis, 2014-08-04)Denne oppgaven er skrevet som en del av et større forskningsprosjekt der det overordnede målet er å tilegne seg kunnskap om enzymer som katalyserer hydrolyse av den uløselige polymeren kitin. Kitin er en lineær β-1,4-bundet ... -
Termodynamiske studier av binding til kitinaktive enzymer studert ved isotermisk titreringskalorimetri
(Master thesis, 2014-11-04)Human chitotriosidase (HCHT) er en av to familie 18 kitinaser, som er produsert av mennesker. Den andre er AMCase. Enzymet er antatt å være en del av det humane immunforsvaret mot sopp og parasitter. Nylig har det blitt ... -
Termoresistente bakterier i melk
(Master thesis, 2016-03-30)It is desirable to out find more out about the content of thermoresistant bacteria in the milk, that is milk that has been heat treated. In this study milk from 2 dairies was studied over a period of two months (August and ... -
Testing av immunstimulerende egenskaper av ulike beta-glukaner ved bruk av immunceller og evaluering av karbohydratspesifikk aktivitet
(Master thesis, 2012-09-11)β-glukaner er kostfiber funnet i celleveggen hos gjær, sopp, bakterier og korn. β-glukaner fra korn finnes i størst grad i havre og bygg. Det har blitt vist i ulike forsøk at β-glukaner har effekt på immunsystemet, ved å ... -
Tettemelk og Pinguicula vulgaris : et forsøk på å påvise EPS-produserende Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris på blader av P. vulgaris
(Master thesis, 2015-08-11)Tettemelk er et tradisjonelt syrnet melkeprodukt i Norge, med en karakteristisk trådtrekkende og tyktflytende konsistens. I dag omsettes dette produktet i dagligvarebutikkene som Tjukkmjølk, produsert av Rørosmeieriet. Det ... -
The assosiation of necrotizing enterocolitis with integrons and antibiotic resistance genes in the gut microbiota of preterm infants
(Master thesis, 2015-07-30)Preterm infants are more susceptible to colonization by opportunistic pathogens that may result in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). This condition is associated with high morbidity and mortality and often requires excessive ... -
The chitinolytic system of Enterococcus faecalis V583 and its putative role in virulence
(Master thesis, 2019)From a harmless gut commensal, Enterococcus faecalis has undergone a transition towards a multi-resistant nosocomial pathogen, posing a major threat to human health, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. The aim ... -
