  1. 6. Imaging of the Cytosolic Antibody Receptor TRIM21

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Þórunn Stefánsdóttir; [2022]
    Keywords : TRIM21; ProteinStructure; Antibody; cryo-EM; Gel-Filtration SizeExclusion Chromatography ; Immunology; ProteinPurification; SDS-PAGE; TRIM21; Proteinstruktur; Antikroppar; cryo-EM; Gel-filtreringsKromatografi; Immunologi; ProteinRening; SDS-PAGE;

    Abstract : TRIM21 is a cytosolic ubiquitin ligase and an antibody receptor that providesa last line of defense against invading pathogens. By utilizing the diversity ofantibody repertoire to identify pathogens, TRIM21 serves as a link betweenintrinsic cellular defense and adaptive immunity. READ MORE

  3. 7. Evaluating LOAd703 in combination with chemotherapeutic agents in ovarian cancer

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för immunologi, genetik och patologi

    Author : Jonas Härdin; [2022]
    Keywords : Clinical Immunology; Immunotherapy; LOAd; Ovarian Cancer; Oncology; Virus;

    Abstract : Ovarian cancer is a disease with a high rate of mortality where the need for novel treatments will increase in the near future as older and populous generations reach the age where the cancer is usually diagnosed. Once treated, ovarian cancer tends to recur and display a newfound resistance against the platinum-based chemotherapeutic drugs that are used to treat the disease. READ MORE

  4. 8. Development of a Closed-loop for Measuring and Stimulating Peripheral Nervous System

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Diego Ignacio Roy Hierro; [2022]
    Keywords : Control; Close-loop; PNI; VNS; HRV; Stimulation Protocol; Kontroll; Close-loop; PNI; VNS; HRV; Stimuleringsprotokoll.;

    Abstract : Bioelectronic medicine is an emerging discipline being a intersection of neu- roscience, immunology and electrical engineering. Chronic inflammation is linked to disorders such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, atheroscle- rosis, obesity and inflammatory bowel disease. READ MORE

  5. 9. Immunological Cross-Reactivity : Construction of a Workflow That Enables Cross-Reactivity Predictions

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Alexander Blomlöf; Alvin Unge; Petter Byström; Erika Lindberg; Torbjörn Fries; [2022]
    Keywords : Cross- reactivity; Immunology; Epitope; Paratope; Antibody; Prediction; Substitution analysis; Proximity Extension Assay; Bioinformatic tools;

    Abstract : Cross-reactivity occurs when an antibody binds to the epitope of a protein that is not the targeted antigen. This is problematic in the analysis of immunoassay diagnostics. Detecting a protein incorrectly might cause issues such as incorrect mapping of metabolic conditions for research or diagnosis. READ MORE

  6. 10. VISUALIZING CATESTATIN AND CHROMOGRANIN A : An Antibody Validation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Johan William-Olsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Diabetes; immunology; western blot; flow cytometry; immunofluorescence;

    Abstract : Chromogranin A (CgA) and its cleavage product Catestatin (CST) are two very interesting proteins, especially due to their possible involvement in the development of type 1 diabetes. There are currently only a few primary antibodies against CgA and CST, and the ones that do exist are often only recommended for use on one method. READ MORE
