Targeted delivery of curcumin and CM11 peptide against hepatocellular carcinoma cells based on binding affinity of PreS1-coated chitosan nanoparticles to SB3 protein by Danial Rahmani, Ramezan Ali Taheri, Mehrdad Moosazadeh Moghaddam

“…In this study, the targeted release of curcumin (Cur) and CM11 peptide alone and together against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was evaluated using chitosan nanoparticles (CS NPs) coated with Pres1 that target the SB3 antigen of HCC cells (PreS1-Cur-CM11-CS NPs). SB3 protein is the specific antigen of HCC and the PreS1 peptide is a part of the hepatitis B antigen, which can specifically bind to the SB3 protein. …”

Modelling random antibody adsorption and immunoassay activity by D. Mackey, E. Kelly, R. Nooney

“…One of the primary considerations in immunoassay design is optimizingthe concentrationof capture antibodyin order to achieve maximal antigen binding and, subsequently, improved sensitivityand limit of detection.Many immunoassay technologies involve immobilizationof theantibody to solid surfaces.Antibodies are large molecules in whichthe position and accessibility of the antigen-binding sitedepend on their orientation and packing density. …”

Learning predictive signatures of HLA type from T-cell repertoires. by María Ruiz Ortega, Mikhail V Pogorelyy, Anastasia A Minervina, Paul G Thomas, Thierry Mora, Aleksandra M Walczak

“…Understanding the association between T cell receptors (TCR) and HLA alleles is an important step towards predicting TCR-antigen specificity from sequences. Here we analyze the TCR alpha and beta repertoires of large cohorts of HLA-typed donors to systematically infer such associations, by looking for overrepresentation of TCRs in individuals with a common allele.TCRs, associated with a specific HLA allele, exhibit sequence similarities that suggest prior antigen exposure. …”
