  2. 1. Affibody Molecules for PET Imaging

    Author : Joanna Strand; Tolmachev Vladimir; Sten Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Affibody molecules; Molecular imaging; PET; Radiolabelling; HER2; PDGFRβ; Biomedical Radiation Science; Biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Optimization of Affibody molecules would allow for high contrast imaging of cancer associated surface receptors using molecular imaging. The primary aim of the thesis was to develop Affibody-based PET imaging agents to provide the highest possible sensitivity of RTK detection in vivo. READ MORE

  4. 2. Targeting Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptors with Drug Conjugates Based on Affibody Molecules

    Author : Jie Zhang; Torbjörn Gräslund; Per-Åke Nygren; Marika Nestor; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Affibody molecule; HER2; HER3; affibody-drug conjugate; half-life; payload; Affibody-molekyl; HER2; HER3; affibody-läkemedelskonjugat; halveringstid; nyttolast; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Abstract : Cancer is a major public health challenge and the second leading cause of death in the world, with millions of new cases being diagnosed each year. Traditional cancer treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy are many times effective, but may also cause damage to healthy cells, leading to side effects. READ MORE

  5. 3. Affibody molecules for proteomic and therapeutic applications

    Author : Caroline Grönwall; Stefan Ståhl; Lena Jendeberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Affibody; protein engineering; phage display; amyloid beta peptide; transferrin; CD25; IL-2 receptor; proteomics; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis describes generation and characterization of Affibody molecules with future applications in proteomics research, protein structure determinations, therapeutic treatment of disease and medical imaging for in vivo diagnostics. Affibody molecules are engineered affinity proteins developed by combinatorial protein engineering from the 58-residue protein A-derived Z domain scaffold. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cellular Studies of HER-family Specific Affibody Molecules

    Author : Lovisa Göstring; Lars Gedda; Jörgen Carlsson; Fredrik Frejd; Håkan Hedman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : EGFR; HER2; HER3; Affibody; internalisation; tumour targeting; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The human epidermal growth-factor like receptor (HER) family of receptor tyrosine kinases are important targets for cancer therapy. The family consists of four members - EGFR, HER2, HER3 and HER4 - that normally transfer stimulatory signals from extracellular growth factors to the intracellular signalling network. READ MORE

  7. 5. Generation and characterization of Affibody molecules targeting HER3

    Author : Magdalena Malm; Stefan Ståhl; Jennifer Cochran; KTH; []
    Keywords : Affibody molecules; epidermal growth factor receptors; HER3; ErbB3; combinatorial protein engineering; combinatorial library; staphylococcal surface display;

    Abstract : In the field of oncology, the ability to target specific tumor cells using highly selective targeting molecules is an attractive and emerging concept. In this context, the epidermal growth factor receptor HER3 has proven central to the biology behind many different human cancers and inhibition of the signaling mediated by this receptor could provide antitumoral effects.
