   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; medical informatics; biomathematics biometrics; Bioinformatics; SVM; sequence analysis; rule extraction; protease-peptide interaction; OSRE; MHC; immunology; HIV; hierarchical method; HCV; Gaussian process; false positive; epitope; cleavage specificity; cleavage prediction; binding affinity; caspase; Bioinformatik; medicinsk informatik; biomatematik; Computer science; numerical analysis; systems; control; Datalogi; numerisk analys; system; kontroll; Binding affinity; Bioinformatics;

   Sammanfattning : The biological functions of proteins depend on their physical interactions with other molecules, such as proteins and peptides. Therefore, modeling the protein-ligand interactions is important for understanding protein functions in different biological processes. LÄS MER

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

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

   Sammanfattning : 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. 3. Epitope mapping of antibodies towards human protein targets

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

   Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

5. 4. Diagnostic and prognostic aspects of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies in systemic vasculitis

   Författare :Daina Selga; Njurmedicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi; serology; epitope; Wegener s granulomatosis; microscopic polyangiitis; polyarteritis nodosa; capture ELISA; Immunology; anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody; proteinase 3; vasculitis; nephrology; Urologi; nefrologi; Urology;

   Sammanfattning : Primary systemic vasculitis is associated with a high mortality if left untreated and it is essential to make the diagnosis before permanent organ damage has occurred. In this thesis the diagnostic and prognostic significance of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) in systemic vasculitis is investigated. LÄS MER

7. 5. Selection of antigens for antibody-based proteomics

   Författare :Lisa Berglund; Mathias Uhlén; Sören Brunak; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; epitope; antigen; antibody; affinity; protein; proteome; proteomics; bioinformatics; prediction; primer design; sequence similarity; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

   Sammanfattning : The human genome is predicted to contain ~20,500 protein-coding genes. The encoded proteins are the key players in the body, but the functions and localizations of most proteins are still unknown. LÄS MER
