  2. 1. Development of ADAPT-based tracers for radionuclide molecular imaging of cancer

    Author : Javad Garousi; Vladimir Tolmachev; Tony Lahoutte; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : ADAPT; scaffold protein; albumin-binding domain ABD ; Affinity protein; HER2; radionuclide molecular imaging;

    Abstract : ABD-Derived Affinity Proteins (ADAPTs) is a novel class of small engineered scaffold proteins based on albumin-binding domain (ABD) of streptococcal protein G. High affinity ADAPT  binders against various therapeutic targets can be selected. READ MORE

  4. 2. The ADAPT scaffold as a tool for diagnostic imaging and targeted therapy

    Author : Emma von Witting; Sophia Hober; Inger Sandlie; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Protein G; ABD; ADAPT; affinity proteins; antibody; protein engineering; targeted therapy; nuclear medicine; molecular imaging; HER2; radionuclide therapy; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Molecular recognition, or the specific interactions between a protein and its ligand, is central to biology and a key factor for many different clinical and technical applications. Despite antibodies being only one of many different affinity proteins, it has by far been the most successful. READ MORE

  5. 3. Bifunctional ADAPTs: Opportunity for serological Half-life extension and Targeted therapy

    Author : Andreas Wisniewski; Sophia Hober; Masood Kamali-Moghaddam; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ABD; ADAPT; Autoimmune diseases; Cancer; Half-life extension; HRP; Phage Display; Protein Engineering; Targeted therapy; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Abstract : Small engineered scaffold proteins (ESPs) gain more and more popularity as biological drugs, due to their specificity and applicability in diagnostics and therapy. Thanks to their high stability, low immunogenicity and low production cost, they present themselves as a promising alternative to the market-leading antibodies. READ MORE

  6. 4. Tumor targeted delivery of cytotoxic payloads using affibody molecules and ABD-derived affinity proteins

    Author : Hao Liu; Torbjörn Gräslund; Stefan Ståhl; Nick Devoogdt; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Targeted tumor therapy; immunotoxins; ADCs; affibody molecule; ADAPT; pseudomonas exotoxin A; maytansinoid; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Cancer treatment cost billions of dollars every year, but the mortality rate is still high. An ideal treatment is the so-called “magic bullets” that recognize and kill tumor cells while leaving normal cells untouched. READ MORE

  7. 5. Engineering of alternative scaffold derived drug conjugates and fusion-toxins for targeted cancer therapy

    Author : Wen Yin; Torbjörn Gräslund; Serge Muyldermans; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HER2; Affibody; Cancer; ADAPT; Protein engineering; PE38; DM1; MMAE; MMAF; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Abstract : Cancer is a major health problem, with premature death for many patients, and with a high monetary cost to society. The disease is complex to treat due to the many different types, but also because the disease-causing cells, that needs to be removed, are very similar to the normal cells. READ MORE
