A comparative study of the effect of UV and formalin inactivation on the stability and immunogenicity of a Coxsackievirus B1 vaccine
2019
Type B Coxsackieviruses (CVBs) belong to the enterovirus genus, and they cause both acute and chronic diseases in humans. CVB infections usually lead to flu-like symptoms but can also result in more serious diseases such as myocarditis, aseptic meningitis and life-threatening multi-organ infections in young infants. Thus, CVBs have long been considered as important targets of future vaccines. We have previously observed CVB1 capsid disintegration and virus concentration decrease with 12-day long formalin inactivation protocol. Here a scalable ion exchange chromatography purification method was developed, and purified CVB1 was inactivated with UV-C or formalin. Virus morphology and concentra…
Märkälujaliimojen määritys pyrolyysi-kaasukromatografi-massaspektrometrillä
2017
Polymeerien, kuten märkälujaliimojen, analysoiminen on ollut nykyisillä menetelmillä erittäin työlästä tai hidasta. Pyrolyysi edustaa kuitenkin menetelmää, jolla esikäsittely ja aika saadaan minimiin. Menetelmässä näyte pilkotaan pienemmiksi yhdisteiksi, jolloin näyte saadaan helpommin analysoitavaan muotoon. Yleisimmin pyrolyysiä käytetään yhdessä kaasukromatografian kanssa. Työn kirjallisessa osassa perehdyttiin yleisimpien märkälujaliimojen valmistukseen, rakenteisiin ja ominaisuuksiin. Kirjallisuuskatsauksessa käytiin myös läpi pyrolyysin periaatteet, sovellukset sekä kartongin ja eräiden märkälujaliimojen pyrolyysituotteet. Lisäksi työssä perehdyttiin typpimäärityksiin. Työn kokeellise…
A Computational Study of Adsorption of CO2, SO2, and H2CO on Free-Standing and Molybdenum-Supported CaO Films
2019
Oxide films play a significant role in a wide range of fields from catalysis to solar cell materials. CaO films are promising sorbents for many environmentally harmful molecules. Here, we report a systematic investigation of adsorption of CO2, SO2, and H2CO on bulk and Mo-supported CaO(100) films using density functional theory. Significant effects on adsorption energy, charge transfer to the molecules, and degree of the C−O bond activation were demonstrated on Mo-supported CaO films by changing the film thickness, composition, and the strength and direction of an applied external electric field. These findings are relevant for interpreting results from scanning tunneling microscopy of smal…
Ligniinin osuuden vaikutus ligniini-fenoliformaldehydihartsien kemiaan
2017
Fenoliformaldehydihartsia valmistetaan fenolista ja formaldehydistä, joka toimii ristisilloitusagenttina. Katalyyttinä käytetään natriumhydroksidia. Formaldehydi liittyy fenolin renkaaseen hydroksyyliryhmän para- tai orto-asemiin additioreaktiolla alkalisissa olosuhteissa. Fenolin alkalointi saa aikaa renkaaseen karbanioneja, joihin formaldehydin elektrofiilinen hiiliatomi voi liittyä. Reaktio tunnetaan Lederer-Manasse-reaktiona. Ligniini on amorfinen biopolymeeri, jota saadaan esimerkiksi sulfaattiprosessin sivutuotteena. Rakenteellisesti ligniinistä voidaan erottaa kolme fenyylipropaaniyksikköä, jotka ovat p-kumaryylialkoholi, koniferyylialkoholi ja sinapyylialkoholi. Ligniinillä voidaan …
Computational investigations on rotational and vibrational spectroscopies of some diatomics in solid environment
2013
In this thesis, spectroscopic and structural properties of homogeneous para-hydrogen crystals and diatomic molecules embedded in rare gas crystals are explored by theoretical means. The agreement with experimental signatures indicates the suitability of the chosen quantum and classical methods to accurately describe the various low-temperature physical and chemical problems investigated at the laser laboratory. A novel explanation of band structures in Raman and IR spectra is given for CO in Ar. Rotational transition rules are found to dictate the spectral broadening of infrared and Raman band structures as a function of temperature. The results show that after photodissociation of matrix-i…

Formalin treatment increases the stability and immunogenicity of coxsackievirus B1 VLP vaccine
2019
Type B Coxsackieviruses (CVBs) are a common cause of acute and chronic myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy and aseptic meningitis. However, no CVB-vaccines are available for human use. We have previously produced virus-like particles (VLPs) for CVB3 with a baculovirus-insect cell production system. Here we have explored the potential of a VLP-based vaccine targeting CVB1 and describe the production of CVB1-VLPs with a scalable VLP purification method. The developed purification method consisting of tangential flow filtration and ion exchange chromatography is compatible with industrial scale production. CVB1-VLP vaccine was treated with UV-C or formalin to study whether stability and immuno…
