Small antibody mimetics that contain high-affinity target-binding peptides can be lower cost alternatives to monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). We have recently developed a method to create small antibody mimetics called FLuctuation-regulated Affinity ...

One-step selection of Vaccinia virus-binding DNA aptamers by MonoLEX
Background As a new class of therapeutic and diagnostic reagents, more than fifteen years ago RNA and DNA aptamers were identified as binding molecules to numerous small compounds, proteins and rarely even to complete pathogen particles.

Probing the limits of aptamer affinity with a microfluidic SELEX platform. [PDF]
Nucleic acid-based aptamers offer many potential advantages relative to antibodies and other protein-based affinity reagents, including facile chemical synthesis, reversible folding, improved thermal stability and lower cost.

Conformational Dynamics of the Receptor-Binding Domain of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein
Variants of SARS-CoV-2 keep emerging and causing new waves of COVID-19 around the world. Effective new approaches in drug development are based on the binding of agents, such as neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to a receptor-binding domain (RBD) of ...

On Affine Selections of Set–Valued Functions [PDF]
Abstract The main result of this paper is the theorem stating that every convex set–valued function F : I ↦ c(Y), where I ⊂ R is an interval and Y is a locally convex space, possesses an affine selection. In the case if Y = R and values of F are closed real intervals we can replace the assumption of convexity of F by the more general ...

Parameters and determinants of responses to selection in antibody libraries.
The sequences of antibodies from a given repertoire are highly diverse at few sites located on the surface of a genome-encoded larger scaffold. The scaffold is often considered to play a lesser role than highly diverse, non-genome-encoded sites in ...

Analysis of B cell selection mechanisms in the adaptive immune response [PDF]
The essential task of a germinal centre reaction is the selection of those B cells that bind the antigen with high affinity. The exact mechanisms of B cell selection is still unknown and rather difficult to be accessed in experiment.
