  2. 1. Tailoring of Antibody Arrays - Technical Advances Towards Global Proteome Analysis

    Author : Linn Petersson; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Keywords : antibody arrays; recombinant antibodies; scFv; miniaturization of arrays; immobilization of scFv; global proteome analysis; biomarker discovery;

    Abstract : Abstract The number of cancer and autoimmune disease diagnoses increases in our society, which place high demands on the health care system. Being able to tailor treatments for each individual patient is called "Personalized medicine", and could revolutionize the care in the future. READ MORE

  4. 2. Antibody based plasma protein profiling

    Author : Ulrika Qundos; Jochen M. Schwenk; Peter Nilsson; Mathias Uhlén; Ulrike Korf; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; protein profiling; plasma; antibody; affinity proteomics; biomark- ers; multiplex; assay development;

    Abstract : This thesis is about protein profiling in serum and plasma using antibody suspension bead arrays for the analysis of biobanked samples and in the context of prostate cancer biomarker discovery. The influence of sample preparation methods on antibody based protein profiles were investigated (Papers I-III) and a prostate cancer candidate biomarker identified and verified (Papers III-V).

  5. 3. Characterization of antibody specificity using peptide array technologies

    Author : Björn Forsström; Mathias Uhlén; Markus Templin; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibody; Epitope mapping; Peptide array; Suspension bead array; Antigen; Specificity; Cross-reactivity; Immunization; Immunogenicity; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Antibodies play an important role in the natural immune response to invading pathogens. The strong and specific binding to their antigens also make them indispensable tools for research, diagnostics and therapy. READ MORE

  6. 4. Epitope mapping of antibodies towards human protein targets

    Author : Barbara Hjelm; Mathias Uhlén; Larry Gold; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antibody; antibody validation; biomarker; epitope mapping; peptide array; proteomics; RBM3; staphylococcal surface display;

    Abstract : This thesis, based on five research papers, presents results from development and evaluation ofmethods for identifying the interaction site of antibodies on their antigens and the functional investigation of these in different assays. As antibodies have proven to be invaluable tools in diagnostics, therapy and basic research, the demand of characterizing these binding molecules has increased. READ MORE

  7. 5. Generation and characterization of antibodies for proteomics research

    Author : Karin Larsson; Sophia Hober; John McCafferty; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; antibody; antibody validation; immunohistochemistry; immunofluorescence; tissue microarray; Western blot; epitope mapping; antigen design; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : Specific antibodies are invaluable tools for proteomics research. The availability of thoroughly validated antibodies will help to improve our understanding of protein expression, localization and function; fundamental processes and features of all living organisms. READ MORE
