1. Construction, expression and evaluation of anti-keratin 8 single-chain antibody fragments
Sammanfattning : Antibodies are glycoproteins specifically binding to a variety of antigens and today extensively used in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Carcinomas originate from epithelial tissues and are the most common forms of human malignancies. In the necrotic areas of carcinomas significant amounts of keratins (K) are found extracellularly.

3. Lactobacilli expressing antibody fragments against pathogens
Sammanfattning : Adherence to mucosal surfaces has been shown to be of great importance in the pathogenesis of various infections in the gastro-intestinal tract. Live recombinant bacteria can be used to deliver active or passive immunity at the mucosal surface, which is the site of entry for the majority of the pathogens. LÄS MER
4. Functionalization of spider silk with affinity and bioactive domains via genetic engineering for in vitro disease diagnosis and tissue engineering
Sammanfattning : In the recent past, spider silk has drawn significant attention from researchers mainly due to its distinguished mechanical strength, elasticity, biocompatibility and biodegradability. Technological advancements in genetic engineering have resulted in methods for creation of partial spider silk proteins. LÄS MER
5. Targeting molecules for diagnostics of Head and Neck squamous cell carcinoma
Sammanfattning : To personalize treatment for cancer, correct staging of the primary tumor, nodal disease and metastatic disease is of essence. By targeting tumor specific receptors with radiolabeled antibodies, specificity and accuracy of imaging may be improved. LÄS MER
