A rapid antibody screening haemagglutination test for predicting immunity to SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: Evaluation of susceptibility to emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC) requires rapid screening tests for neutralising antibodies which provide protection. Methods: Firstly, we developed a receptor-binding ... -
A rat modell to assess interventions to reduce cardiotoxicity of anthracyclines Does pre-treatment with morphine reduce the cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin?
(Master thesis, 2008-05-30)A rat model to assess interventions to reduce cardiotoxicity of anthracyclines is of interest. The model should be able to induce significant myocardial damage rapidly but at the same time allow for measurement of protective ... -
