  2. 21. Engineering of Affibody molecules for Radionuclide Molecular Imaging and Intracellular Targeting

    Author : Camilla Hofström; Torbjörn Gräslund; Serge Muyldermans; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Affibody molecules; affinity proteins; radionuclide molecular imaging; intracellular targeting; EGFR; HER2; IGF-1R; SRA - Molecular Bioscience; SRA - Molekylär biovetenskap;

    Abstract : Affibody molecules are small (7 kDa) affinity proteins of non-immunoglobulin origin that have been generated to specifically interact with a large number of clinically important molecular targets.In this thesis, Affibody molecules have been employed as tracers for radionuclide molecular imaging of HER2- and IGF-1R-expressing tumors, paper I-IV, and for surface knock-down of EGFR, paper V.

  4. 22. Generation and engineering of ABD-derived affinity proteins for clinical applications

    Author : Sarah Lindbo; Sophia Hober; Christoph Rader; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ABD; ADAPT; affinity proteins; protein engineering; radionuclide molecular imaging; HER2; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Proteins that specifically recognize and bind to other molecules or structures are important tools in industrial and medical applications. Binding proteins engineered from small stable scaffold proteins have been utilized for several purposes due to their favorable biophysical properties, tolerance to mutagenesis, efficient tissue penetration and ease of production.

  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. Bioimaging for analysis of protein expression in cells and tissues using affinity reagents

    Author : Emma Lundberg; Torbjörn Gräslund; Mathias Uhlén; Rainer Pepperkok; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Affibody; antibody; biomarker; cell line; cell microarray; colorectal cancer; confocal microscopy; HER2; immunohistochemistry; immunofluorescence; light microscopy; protein expression; protein localization; SATB2; tissue microarray; Bioengineering; Bioteknik; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : The detection and analysis of biomolecules, such as proteins, are of great interest since these molecules are fundamental for life and our health. Due to the complexity of biological processes, there is a great advantage of studying proteins in their natural context, for example by using bioimaging. READ MORE

  7. 25. Chemosensitivity in Breast Cancer

    Author : Kenneth Villman; Carl Blomqvist; Ulf Tidefelt; Nils Wilking; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Oncology; breast cancer; chemotherapy; anthracycline; predictive; topoisomerase; TOP2A; HER2; cyclin A; in vitro; Onkologi;

    Abstract : Breast cancer mortality in Sweden is now in decline, thanks to early detection and the wide use of adjuvant endocrine therapy and chemotherapy. While hormone receptor status is predictive of response to endocrine treatment, there is no clinically useful predictive marker of a patient’s response to chemotherapy. READ MORE
