  2. 1. Array-based Autoantibody Profiling and Epitope Mapping

    Author : Arash Zandian; Peter Nilsson; Jochen M. Schwenk; Maja Neiman; Morten Nielsen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; antibody; antigens; peptide; epitope mapping; autoimmunity; autoantibodies; microarrays; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Antibodies are a class of proteins that are made by the immune system to recognize harmful organisms and molecules. Their exceptional capability of specifically recognizing molecules has been investigated for over a century and information thereof has been utilized for a variety of applications including vaccine and generation of therapeutic antibodies.

  4. 2. 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

  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. 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

  7. 5. Staphylococcal surface display for protein engineering and characterization

    Author : John Löfblom; Stefan Ståhl; Henrik Wernérus; K. Dane Wittrup; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; affibody; combinatorial library; epitope mapping; Gram-positive bacteria; protein engineering; staphylococcal surface display; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Even though our understanding of mechanisms such as protein folding and molecular recognition is relatively poor, antibodies and alternative affinity proteins with entirely novel functions are today generated in a routine manner. The reason for this success is an engineering approach generally known as directed evolution. READ MORE
