  2. 21. Affibody Molecules for HER3-targeted Theranostics of Malignant Tumours

    Author : Maria Rosestedt; Anna Orlova; Vladimir Tolmachev; Olof Eriksson; Sten Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; affibody molecules; theranostics; HER3; molecular imaging;

    Abstract : The HER3 receptor plays a strong role in disease progression and resistance to therapies in several cancer types. Due to its endogenous expression and low overexpression in malignant tumours, it is a particularly challenging target. READ MORE

  4. 22. Molecular Radionuclide Imaging Using Site-specifically Labelled Recombinant Affibody Molecules : Preparation and Preclinical Evaluation

    Author : Sara Ahlgren; Vladimir Tolmachev; Anna Orlova; Göran Hedenstierna; Joachim Feldwisch; Raymond Reilly; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; molecular radionuclide imaging; Affibody molecules; HER2; cancer detection; radiolabelling; technetium; indium; cobalt; SPECT; PET; Oncology; Onkologi; Diagnostic radiology; Diagnostisk radiologi; Radiation biology; Strålningsbiologi; Biomedical Radiation Science; Biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : Radionuclide molecular imaging is an emerging multidisciplinary technique that is used in modern medicine to visualise diseases at cellular and molecular levels. This thesis is based on five papers (I-V) and focuses on the development of site-specific radiolabelled recombinant anti-HER2 Affibody molecules and preclinical evaluations in vitro and in vivo of the labelled conjugates.

  5. 23. Affinity protein based inhibition of cancer related signaling pathways

    Author : Erik Vernet; Torbjörn Gräslund; Antonino Cattaneo; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Affibody; cancer; endoplasmic reticulum retention; EGFR; HER2; IGF-1R; Raf; Ras; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : Dysregulation of protein activity, caused by alterations in protein sequence, expression, or localization, is associated with numerous diseases. In order to control the activity of harmful protein entities, affinity ligands such as proteins, oligonucleotides or small molecules can be engineered to specifically interact with them to modulate their function.

  6. 24. PNA and affinity protein tools for selective tumor targeting of radiopharmaceuticals

    Author : Hanna Tano; Amelie Eriksson Karlström; Per-Åke Nygren; Dario Neri; KTH; []
    Keywords : Cancer therapy; targeted radionuclide therapy; affinity proteins; Affibody molecules; CD38; GRPR; HER2; nanobody; peptide; PNA; RM26; pretargeting; Cancerterapi; radionuklid terapi; affinitetsproteiner; affibody molekyler; CD38; GRPR; HER2; nanobody; peptid; PNA; RM26; pretargeting; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Abstract : Targeted radiotherapy of cancer intends to selectively deliver cytotoxic radionuclides to tumor cells. Affinity proteins of various kinds are explored for this task, and depending on the affinity protein used, different challenges arise. READ MORE

  7. 25. Development of molecular recognition by rational and combinatorial engineering

    Author : Andreas Jonsson; Stefan Ståhl; Mats Persson; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Affibody molecule; albumin binding domain; protein engineering; phage display; amyloid beta peptide; TNF; HSA; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Combinatorial protein engineering, taking advantage of large libraries of protein variants and powerful selection technology, is a useful strategy for developing affinity proteins for applications in biotechnology and medicine. In this thesis, two small affinity proteins have been subjected to combinatorial protein engineering to improve or redirect the binding. READ MORE
