Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

Studies on the production, characterisation and applications of monoclonal antibodies and antibody-based conjugates [PDF]

, 1994
The work described in this thesis involved the production of antibodies to several defined antigens and the chemical synthesis of bispecific antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies against glial fibrillary acidic protein (anti-GFAP), and against a GFAP-like

Neutralization of the PTX3/CD44 axis suppresses TGF‐β1 signaling in kidney fibrosis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study investigates how the PTX3/CD44 axis promotes kidney fibrosis by activating TGF‐β1 signaling. We demonstrate that the neutralizing antibody WHC‐001 effectively inhibits this pathway, suppressing myofibroblast activation and partial epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Antigenic modulation limits the efficacy of anti-CD20 antibodies: implications for antibody selection

, 2010
Rituximab, a monoclonal antibody which targets CD20 on B-cells, is now central to the treatment of a variety of malignant and autoimmune disorders. Despite this success a substantial proportion of B-cell lymphomas are unresponsive or develop resistance ...

DNA ligase LigE increases bacterial transformation with damaged extracellular DNA

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The DNA ligase LigE from the naturally competent Gram‐negative bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoaea increases transformation with cut extracellular DNA. This process is ATP‐dependent and relies on the catalytic activity of LigE; it also requires that LigE contains an intact periplasmic localisation sequence, indicating that ligE functions in the periplasm ...

Exon and intron sharing in opposite direction-an undocumented phenomenon in human genome-between Pou5f1 and Tcf19 genes

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background Overlapping genes share same genomic regions in parallel (sense) or anti-parallel (anti-sense) orientations. These gene pairs seem to occur in all domains of life and are best known from viruses.

Going viral − Virus‐targeting nanobodies for research, diagnostics and therapy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The increasing prevalence of viral diseases represents a major threat for global human health. Nanobodies, small binding fragments derived from camelid heavy‐chain antibodies, offer versatile tools for viral research, diagnostics, and antiviral therapy.

Structure and molecular interaction analysis of monoclonal antibodies in complex with receptor tyrosine kinases [PDF]

, 2010
Misregulated receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), i.e. the epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR or the insulin-like growth factor receptor 1 (IGF-1R), can be involved in the development of cancer.
