  1. 1. Engineering Antibody Specificity Using Combinatorial Antibody Libraries

    Författare :Jenny Boström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antibody Antigen Interactions; Dual Specific Antibodies; Herceptin; Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2; Thermodynamic Analysis; therapeutic Antibody Engineering; Synthetic Phagedisplayed Antibody Libraries; Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor; Bacterial Display; trastuzumab;

    Sammanfattning : The research presented in this thesis investigates antibody specificity, antibody-antigen and protein-protein interactions using combinatorial antibody libraries, phage-display and bacterial display technology. One goal was to develop a method to generate antibodies that bind two protein antigens with high affinity using a single-antigen binding site, and to investigate the molecular and thermodynamic requirements for antibody multispecificity.

  3. 2. Antibody repertoires : Exploration of their role in allergic disease and facilitation of reliable analyses thereof

    Författare :Linnea Thörnqvist; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; allergen; allergic disease; antibody bioinformatics; antibody repertoire; B cells; epitope; immunogloblulin; immunogloblulin germline gene; IgE; specific immunotherapy; stereotyped antibody;

    Sammanfattning : Allergic disease affects millions of individuals worldwide and leads to both impaired life quality of the affected individuals and large economic costs for the society. Allergen-specific antibodies of IgE type act as one of the key players in the disease, by activating effector cells upon binding of its allergen. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Antibodies and Antibody Mimics in Binding Assays

    Författare :Ioana Wärnmark; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polymerteknik; biopolymers; ELISA; antibody; molecularly imprinted polymer; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Metabolism; metabolism; Biokemisk teknik; Polymer technology; Biochemical technology;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents development of new analytical methods using antibodies and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) in binding assays: 1) The high specificity of antibodies and the wide variety of efficient labels make immunoassay one of the most popular analytical techniques today. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is most widely used, since the enzyme label can be used as a catalyst to provide very high signal amplification. LÄS MER

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

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

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Phenotypic antibody discovery and mining of complex antibody libraries

    Författare :Anne Ljungars; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibody discovery; Phage display; Phenotypic screening; Cell selection; Deep mining; Complex phage pools;

    Sammanfattning : Therapeutic antibodies are the fastest growing class of drugs but suffer from a crowded target-space where many antibodies, against a few targets, are developed in parallel. The aim of this thesis is to find methods to enable discovery of novel antibody-target combinations and thereby increase the target-space. LÄS MER
