  2. 1. Production of polyclonal antibodies in rabbits and chickens immunised with human immunoglobulin G : A study of the utility of egg yolk antibody production as a substitute for rabbit serum antibody production

    Author : Lise Svendsen Bollen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Laboratory animals; antibody production; egg yolk; adjuvants; antibody response; avidity; Försöksdjursvetenskap; Laboratory animal science; Försöksdjursvetenskap; zoologisk utvecklingsbiologi; Animal Development;

    Abstract : The utility of chicken egg yolk antibodies as an alternative to rabbit antisera was studied by comparing antibody and avidity development in immunised animals (15 rabbits and 30 chickens) during a one-year immunisation scheme. Human IgG was used as the model antigen and the efficacy of three adjuvants, Freund's Complete Adjuvant, Freund's Incomplete Adjuvant and Hunter's TiterMax, was compared. READ MORE

  4. 2. Systems enabling antibody-mediated proteomics research

    Author : Ronny Falk; Sophia Hober; Christer Wingren; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antibody generation; dual expression; affinity purification; E. coli expression; Affibody molecules; polyclonal antibody; monospecific antibody; Immunobiology; Immunbiologi;

    Abstract : As many genome sequencing efforts today are completed, we are now provided with the genetic maps for several organisms, including man. With these maps at hand, the scientific focus is now shifting towards investigations of the functionality of proteins. READ MORE

  5. 3. Avian IgY antibody : In vitro and in vivo

    Author : David Carlander; Lennart Hammarström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Antigen production; chicken; cystic fibrosis; egg; ELISA; IgY; immunotherapy; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; yolk; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

    Abstract : Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) is the major antibody found in eggs from chicken (Gallus domesticus). IgY can be used as an alternative to mammalian antibodies normally used in research, and its use in immunotherapy has recently been proposed. READ MORE

  6. 4. Modeling Antibody Aggregation in Downstream Processing

    Author : Frida Ojala; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Antibody; Aggregation; Downstream processing; Size exclusion chromatography; Reversible reaction model; General rate model;

    Abstract : Antibodies are part of the immune system where their purpose is to recognize and neutralize foreign species such as viruses and bacteria, thus preventing and curing infections. The trend of using antibodies in the treatment of, for example, cancer is increasing. READ MORE

  7. 5. Design, expression, and analysis of antibody-based blood-brain barrier shuttles

    Author : Andrés de la Rosa; Greta Hultqvist; Paul O'Callaghan; Nicole G. Metzendorf; Torben Moos; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antibody therapeutics; transient gene expression; protein production; blood-brain barri-er BBB ; BBB shuttle; brain delivery; Transferrin receptor TfR ; heparan sulfate; holo-transferrin; Molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Antibody therapeutics, with their strong and highly selective target binding, are now used to treat various diseases. However, to enable their use to treat brain disorders, they must be delivered across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), as without active transport, only around 0.01% of intravenously injected doses reach the brain.
