Förutom de 30 biljoner celler som utgör vår kropp, hyser varje individ 39 biljoner små mäktiga mikroorganismer som är osynliga för människans blotta ögon inklusive bakterier, virus, jästsvampar, protozoer och svampar. De kan gynna vår hälsa, men också vara patogena för att göra oss sjuka. De började bygga sina samhällen i vår kropp när vi exponerade den för denna värld ur vår mammas mage och expanUnderstanding the gut-brain-microbiota axis can help us provide a new tool to manage conditions such as Alzheimer’s. However, a major challenge is selectively amplifying the bacterial DNA which is present at a much lower level than the host DNA. In this thesis, we aim to develop a methodology to extract, purify and quantify the bacterial DNA in the brain tissue of mice. The methodology that can be

Uppreningsprocessen av monoklonala antikroppar (mAbs) är dyr, speciellt det kromatografisteg där antikropparna separeras från andra protein och celler i lösningen från tidigare steg i processen. Antikropparna separeras från lösningen med hjälp av affinitetskromatografi, där det endast är antikropparna som interagerar med innehåller i kolonnen och stannar kvar, medan resten passerar obehindrat. AntThe purification process of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for therapeutic drugs is expensive, especially the chromatography step in which the mAbs are separated from other proteins and cells present in the feed.
