Targeting RAGE with Nanobodies for Molecular Imaging of Cancers and Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
RAGE‐specific nanobodies were isolated via phage display and characterized by ELISA, cell ELISA, and SPR. In vivo imaging in renal carcinoma and Alzheimer's disease mouse models demonstrated that NbF8, the highest‐affinity clone, selectively targeted RAGE‐overexpressing tumors and brain tissues, highlighting its potential as a molecular imaging agent ...

Genome-scale top-down reduction of phages to generate viable minimal phage genomes

, 2021
Abstract Reduction of tailed-phage genomes to generate viable minimal genome phages is important for expanding our understanding of phage biology, providing insights for phage synthetic biology. Many efforts have been made to minimize living cells, but such work remains a challenge for phages due to the extraordinary genomic diversity and lack ...

Unlocking the M13 (F1) virion : investigation into the role of pIII C domain of F specific filamentous bacteriophage in infection : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2005
Filamentous phage adsorb to the host cells by binding of the N2 domain of pIII to the tip of the F pilus. Binding of N1 domain of pIII to the secondary receptor (Tol A), triggers the opening of the virion by a poorly understood mechanism.

Dynamics of Bacteriophage Genome Ejection In Vitro and In Vivo

, 2010
Bacteriophages, phages for short, are viruses of bacteria. The majority of phages contain a double-stranded DNA genome packaged in a capsid at a density of ~500 mg/ml. This high density requires substantial compression of the normal B form helix, leading

A Programmable Nanovaccine Platform Based on M13 Bacteriophage for Personalized Cancer Vaccine and Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A reprogrammed (RP) phage‐based nanovaccine platform has been developed that allows single‐step assembly with precise control over adjuvanticity, antigen density, and nanoparticle size. By enhancing TLR9 activation and neoantigen display, this platform enables a potent personalized vaccine targeting tumor‐specific neoantigens. When combined with immune
