  2. 16. 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.

  4. 17. Radiolabelled affibody molecules for imaging EGFR expression in tumours

    Author : Maryam Oroujeni; Vladimir Tolmachev; Martin Behe; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Affibody molecules; ZEGFR:2377; radionuclide molecular imaging; PET; SPECT; labelling chemistry.;

    Abstract : Affibody molecules are promising scaffold-based targeting proteins for radionuclide imaging and cancer therapy. This thesis is based on 5 original research articles (Papers I-V), with the primary focus being placed on the optimization of molecular design of EGFR-binding affibody variants for high contrast imaging of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression in tumours.

  5. 18. 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

  6. 19. Investigations of chemical and enzymatic functionalization of affinity proteins

    Author : Anders Myrhammar; Amelie Eriksson Karlström; Per-Åke Nygren; Christian Heinis; KTH; []
    Keywords : Affinity protein; affibody; conjugation; solid phase peptide synthesis; proteolytic stability; peptide nucleic acid PNA .; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : AbstractAffinity proteins are important reagents in research, diagnostics and therapeutic settings. The focus of this thesis has been on investigating different chemical and enzymatic strategies for engineering of affinity proteins to generate affinity reagents with improved or changed functionality.
