  1. 1. Generation and evolution of human antibody repertoires

    Författare :Helena Persson; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; specificity; Immunology; serology; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi; Biotechnology; Bioteknik; phage display; IgE; hapten; grass pollen allergen; diversity; antibody repertoire; antibody library; antibody evolution; affinity maturation; allergy;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis, which is based on five original papers, covers different aspects of antibody specificity and diversity, with the overall goal to understand the makeup of antibody repertoires and their functionality as they occur in vivo or as they are developed in the laboratory. Besides their importance in the adaptive immune response, antibodies have emerged as an invaluable tool in applications ranging from basic research to disease diagnostics and therapy. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Selection and design in antibody phage display

    Författare :Jonas Persson; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; specificity fine-tuning.; phage display; MUC1; automated selection; antigenicity; antibody; affinity maturation;

    Sammanfattning : The immune system is an important part of the physiology of higher organisms. In the immune system antibodies play a key role in neutralizing and clearing potentially lethal threats from the environment. The importance of antibodies in the immune system has made them come to the attention as a tool in chemistry and medicine. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Antibody Evolution and Repertoire Development

    Författare :Johan Lantto; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; serology; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi; virus neutralization; trinucleotide repeat; insertion; immunoglobulin variable genes; human cytomegalovirus; glycoprotein B; deletion; antibody; antibody repertoire;

    Sammanfattning : Antibodies are key players of the immune system in higher vertebrates, which provide a defense against potentially lethal threats from the environment. Besides their importance in the immune defense, antibodies have a great potential as reagents in biological chemistry and diagnostics, and as therapeutic agents against both infectious diseases and cancer.

  5. 4. Utilizing Solid Phase Cloning, Surface Display And Epitope Information for Antibody Generation and Characterization

    Författare :Francis Jingxin Hu; Johan Rockberg; John McCafferty; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; antibody engineering; antibody affinity maturation; combinatorial protein engineering; epitope mapping; FACS; HER2; complement C5; Staphylococcal surface display; surface display.; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Sammanfattning : Antibodies have become indispensable tools in diagnostics, research and as therapeutics. There are several strategies to generate monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in order to avoid the drawbacks of polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) for therapeutic use. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Immunoglobulin gene usage and affinity maturation in antiviral antibodies

    Författare :Pradeepa Pushparaj; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The ability of antibodies to block infections makes them highly relevant for successful vaccine development. Through the papers described in this thesis, I attempt to characterize the functional and genetic aspects of antiviral antibodies induced by infection and vaccination. LÄS MER
