- The immunohistochemical distribution of microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2), being normally restricted to nerve cell bodies and dendrites, became altered in rat dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord neurons in cultures infected with rhesus rotavirus. MAP2 appeared in axons of both sources of neurons as displayed with monoclonal antibodies to MAP2a + b and MAP2a + b + c at 48 hr post-infection (p.i.). Other cytoskeletal elements, i.e., tau, MAP1, MAP5, neurofilament, actin, and tubulin, did not reveal any alterations in the rotavirus-infected neurons. One of the rotavirus cytosolic proteins, the inner capsid protein vp6, was expressed in axons at 48 hr p.i. simultaneously with the appearance of MAP2, while two other viral proteins, vp4 and NS28, remained in the nerve cell bodies. By quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) a binding of single-shelled rotaviruses, which express vp6 on their surfaces, to purified MAP2 was found. There was no binding of these viral particles to tau or tubulin proteins. This study indicates that a selective interaction between certain viral and neuronal cytoskeletal proteins can occur and that a non-cytolytic viral infection can cause alterations in the polarized sorting of neuronal proteins.

- Two years of harmonized aerosol number size distribution data from 24 = ropean field monitoring sites have been analysed. The results give a = mprehensive overview of the European near surface aerosol particle = mber concentrations and number size distributions between 30 and 500 = of dry particle diameter. Spatial and temporal distribution of = rosols in the particle sizes most important for climate applications = e presented. We also analyse the annual, weekly and diurnal cycles of = e aerosol number concentrations, provide log-normal fitting parameters = r median number size distributions, and give guidance notes for data = ers. Emphasis is placed on the usability of results within the aerosol = delling community.

Epstein-Barr virus-induced transformation of human B lymphocytes : the effect of l-leucyl-l-leucine methyl ester on inhibitory T cell populations
- 1992
-
In: Immunology Letters. - 0165-2478. ; 34:3, s. 221-228

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Epstein-Barr virus-mediated transformation of human B lymphocytes is inhibited by human T lymphocytes as well as by interferon-γ. Removal of the inhibitory cell populations is essential in order to achieve successful transformation in vitro. Cells with the capacity to inhibit outgrowth of lymphoblastoid cell lines can be removed by pretreatment of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with l-leucyl-l-leucine methyl ester. This treatment eliminates monocytes, NK-cells and a CD8+ T cell subpopulation. We now show that such treatment also has toxic effects on other human T cell populations. In addition, CD4+ and/or CD8+ lymphocytes are demonstrated to contain effector cell activities which inhibit outgrowth of EBV-transformed B cells. This inhibitory activity is abolished after treatment of peripheral blood mononuclear cells or purified CD4+ T cells with l-leucyl-l-leucine methyl ester. No evidence was found for a selective toxicity against any subset within the CD4+ or CD8+ T cell populations. However, the capacity of the treated cells, both peripheral blood mononuclear cells and purified CD4+ T lymphocytes, to produce mRNA encoding IFN-γ, a protein previously shown to downregulate outgrowth of EBV-transformed B cells, was selectively impaired. The results obtained suggest a role for CD4+ T cells to inhibit EBV-induced transformation of B cells.

Live imaging of prions reveals nascent PrPSc in cell-surface, raft-associated amyloid strings and webs
- 2014
-
In: The Journal of cell biology. - : Rockefeller University Press. - 1540-8140 .- 0021-9525. ; 204:3, s. 423-441
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Mammalian prions refold host glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored PrPC into β-sheet–rich PrPSc. PrPSc is rapidly truncated into a C-terminal PrP27-30 core that is stable for days in endolysosomes. The nature of cell-associated prions, their attachment to membranes and rafts, and their subcellular locations are poorly understood; live prion visualization has not previously been achieved. A key obstacle has been the inaccessibility of PrP27-30 epitopes. We overcame this hurdle by focusing on nascent full-length PrPSc rather than on its truncated PrP27-30 product. We show that N-terminal PrPSc epitopes are exposed in their physiological context and visualize, for the first time, PrPSc in living cells. PrPSc resides for hours in unexpected cell-surface, slow moving strings and webs, sheltered from endocytosis. Prion strings observed by light and scanning electron microscopy were thin, micrometer-long structures. They were firmly cell associated, resisted phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, aligned with raft markers, fluoresced with thioflavin, and were rapidly abolished by anti-prion glycans. Prion strings and webs are the first demonstration of membrane-anchored PrPSc amyloids.

Changing the servicescape : The influence of music and self-disclosure on approach-avoidance behavior
- 2013
-
Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and understand the effect of a servicescape’s ambient and social conditions on consumers’ Approach/Avoidance behavior in a retail context. More specifically, this thesis investigates the effect of music (ambient stimuli) and employees’ self-disclosure (social stimuli) on consumers’ Approach/Avoidance behavior in a retail store. Paper I comprised two experiments. Experiment 1 investigated the influence of the independent variable No music/Music. Likewise, experiment 2 studied the influence of the independent variable No music/Slow-tempo music/Fast-tempo music. The dependent variables in both experiments were pleasure, arousal, and the resulting Approach/Avoidance behavior. Paper II investigated the influence of the independent variable self-disclosure. The dependent variables were Approach/Avoidance behavior, measured by pleasure, arousal, liking, satisfaction, and reciprocity. The conclusions of this thesis are that both ambient and social stimuli in a servicescape affect consumers’ internal responses, which in turn affect their behavior. Depending on the situation (type of purchase), retail (bank, supermarket, or electronic retail store), and stimuli (ambient or social), the internal and behavioral responses are different.
