Adhesion of common salmonid pathogens to Atlantic salmon mucins
Tonstad, Johanna (Master thesis, 2020)Fisk er dekket av slimhinner, mucus, på alle ytre overflateepitel, som utgjør den første forsvarslinjen mot farlige organismer. Skal et patogen infisere en fisk, må det først passere gjennom denne barrieren i skinnet, ... -
Effect of design geometry, exposure energy, cytophilic molecules, cell type and load in fabrication of single-cell arrays using micro-contact printing
Bhujbal, Swapnil Vilas; Dekov, Maren; Ottesen, Vegar; Dunker, Karen; Lale, Rahmi; Sletmoen, Marit (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In this study a range of factors influencing the fabrication of single-cell arrays (SCAs) are identified and investigated. Micro-contact printing was used to introduce spots coated with polyethyleneimine or Matrigel on ... -
Elucidating bacterial adhesion to mucosal surface by an original AFM approach
Dunker, Karen; Gomez de la Torre Canny, Sol; Nordgård, Catherine Taylor; Dague, Etienne; Formosa-Dague, Cecile; Bakke, Ingrid; Sletmoen, Marit (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Fish skin represents an ancient vertebrate mucosal surface, sharing characteristics with other mucosal surfaces including those of the intestine. The skin mucosa is continuously exposed to microbes in the ... -
Microarrays for High Throughput Analysis of Cellular Heterogeneity
Dunker, Karen (Master thesis, 2017)The importance of cellular heterogeneity within cell populations has been increasingly realized in recent years. As a result, there has been a focus on developing methods for single cell analysis. µCP represents a cheap, ... -
Nanoscale characterization of mechanisms for bacterial adhesion to mucosal surfaces
Dunker, Karen (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2023:289, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Glycan-based interactions have been the subject of an increasing number of studies in recent years, as their importance in biological systems is becoming more understood. As glycans are present on the majority of cell ... -
Rheology of skin mucus from yolk-sac salmon fry
Nordgård, Catherine Taylor; Gomez de la Torre Canny, Sol; Dunker, Karen; Sletmoen, Marit; Bakke, Ingrid (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)As part of our project “Microbial contributions to the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) skin mucosal barrier” we have explored techniques to investigate and characterise the rheological properties of the skin mucus of yolk-sac ... -
The Role of Glycans in Bacterial Adhesion to Mucosal Surfaces: How Can Single-Molecule Techniques Advance Our Understanding?
formosa dague, cecile; Castelain, Mickael; Martin-Yken, Helene; Dunker, Karen; dague, etienne; Sletmoen, Marit (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Bacterial adhesion is currently the subject of increased interest from the research community, leading to fast progress in our understanding of this complex phenomenon. Resent research within this field has documented the ...
