  2. 41. Improving biomarker assessment in breast pathology

    Author : Stephanie Robertson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The accuracy of prognostic and therapy-predictive biomarker assessment in breast tumours is crucial for management and therapy decision in patients with breast cancer. In this thesis, biomarkers used in clinical practice with emphasise on Ki67 and HER2 were studied using several methods including immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridisation, gene expression assays and digital image analysis, with the overall aim to improve routine biomarker evaluation and clarify the prognostic potential in early breast cancer.

  4. 42. Engineering Antibody Specificity Using Combinatorial Antibody Libraries

    Author : Jenny Boström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antibody Antigen Interactions; Dual Specific Antibodies; Herceptin; Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2; Thermodynamic Analysis; therapeutic Antibody Engineering; Synthetic Phagedisplayed Antibody Libraries; Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor; Bacterial Display; trastuzumab;

    Abstract : The research presented in this thesis investigates antibody specificity, antibody-antigen and protein-protein interactions using combinatorial antibody libraries, phage-display and bacterial display technology. One goal was to develop a method to generate antibodies that bind two protein antigens with high affinity using a single-antigen binding site, and to investigate the molecular and thermodynamic requirements for antibody multispecificity.

  5. 43. Radiohalogenated Compounds for Tumor Targeting : Synthesis and Radiolabeling

    Author : Eskender Mume; Stefan Sjöberg; Vladimir Tolmachev; D. Scott Wilbur; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Inorganic chemistry; 9-Aminoacridine; Daunorubicin; Doxorubicin; Carborane; Radiobromination; Radioiodination; Affibody; Monoclonal antibody; Oorganisk kemi; Inorganic chemistry; Oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the synthesis and radiohalogenation of compounds of potential use for tumor targeting. The first section describes the synthesis and radioiodination of DNA intercalating compounds. The compounds are derivatives of 9-aminoacridine, and the anthracyclins daunorubicin and doxorubicin.

  6. 44. Breast cancer in young women : aspects on mortality and local recurrence

    Author : Hanna Fredholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The general aim of the thesis was to gain increased insight into the long-term prognosis for young women with breast cancer. In a population-based cohort of 22,017 women with breast cancer, we studied prognosis by age. Women aged .. READ MORE

  7. 45. Cancer therapy using viral and bacterial proteins as vectors for vaccines or as carriers of cytostatics

    Author : Mathilda Eriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : New cancer therapies are urgently needed, since available treatment options today have negative side effects, and cure only about half of the patients with invasive cancer. One, relatively new, option is to vaccinate against cancer, by introducing an antigen that is present on the tumor cells into the patient to stimulate specific immunity against the tumor. READ MORE
