Methods of Selecting Binding Reagents

Mallick, Parag; Egertson, Jarrett
Feb 2019
Methods and systems are provided herein for selecting an affinity reagent which binds a desired peptide epitope in a plurality of sequence contexts. The method relies on obtaining a peptide library, each peptide having the sequence αΧβ, wherein X is the desired peptide epitope, wherein each of a and β comprise an amino acid, using the peptide library to select an affinity reagent.

Novel targets of acinetobacter baumannii

Urwyler, Simon; Haake, Markus; Rudolf, Michael
Jan 2019
The present invention provides antigenic polypeptides expressed during an infection by a pathogenic organism, such as Acinetobacter and compositions comprising these polypeptides. The invention further provides compositions for use in treating, preventing or detecting a bacterial infection, in particular vaccine compositions using the antigenic polypeptides. The invention further provides antibodies directed to said antigenic polypeptides.

Soybean Allergy Related Epitopes

Kern, Karolin; Spiegel, Holger; Havenith, Heide; Szardenings, Michael
Nov 2018
The invention relates to a compilation comprising at least five different peptides, each peptide comprising at least one sequence element corresponding to an epitope selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO.: 1-354, wherein at least five different epitopes are represented. The invention further relates to an in vitro method for determining a patient’s immune status to soybean allergens, to a method for detecting at least one soybean allergen in a substance and to a method for determining the allergenicity of a soybean variety. Additionally, the invention relates to a kit comprising at least one composition containing a compound comprising at least five different sequence elements each corresponding to an epitope selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO.: 1-354, wherein at least five different epitopes are represented. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of a peptide comprising a sequence element corresponding to an epitope for providing a molecule binding to a protein or peptide comprising the epitope.

Suer, Waltraud; Rohwer, Stefanie; BRIX, Bettina; WEIMANN, Alf
Aug 2018
A diagnostically useful carrier has a polypeptide for specifically capturing an antibody to Ara h 7 isotype 7.0201 in a sample from a subject. A method includes detecting in a sample from a subject the presence or absence of an antibody to Ara h 7 isotype 7.0201. A pharmaceutical composition includes Ara h 7 isotype 7.0201 or a variant thereof.

Gdf-15 as a diagnostic marker to predict the clinical outcome of a treatment with immune checkpoint blockers

WISCHHUSEN, Jörg; Haake, Markus; DUMMER, Reinhard; MEHLING, Matthias
Aug 2018
The present invention relates to methods for predicting the probability of a treatment response of a human cancer patient to an immune checkpoint blocker treatment e.g. with anti PD-1, and to methods for predicting the probability of survival of a human cancer patient following an immune checkpoint blocker treatment, and to apparatuses and kits which can be used in these methods.

Detecting agents and epitopes mapping for detecting glycogen phosphorylase isoenzyme bb

Kapetanovic, Ernest; Yastas, Samir
Jul 2018
Described are an oligopeptide sequence of any of RDHLVGRWIR (E1), IRRFKSSKFGCR (E2), RHLEIIYAINQR (E3). LIIKLVT (E4), WGDRLKVIF (E5), any combination of E1 to E3; or combination of E4 and E5. Further described is a detecting agent for specific detecting glycogen phosphorylase iso-enzyme BB (GPBB), wherein the detecting agent is characterized by specific recognizing and binding to (1) an epitope of the GPBB comprising an oligo-peptide sequence of any of RDHLVGRWIR (E1), IRRFKSSKFGCR (E2), RHLEIIYAINQR (E3) or any combination of E1 to E3; or (2)an epitope of GPBB comprising an oiigo-peptide sequence of LIIKLVT (E4), and/or WGDRLKVIF (E5), or combination of E4 and E5.

Antigenic peptides and uses thereof for diagnosing and treating autism

Water, Judy Van De; EDMISTON, Elizabeth
May 2018
The present invention provides peptides that specifically bind to maternal autoantibodies that are generated in the mother or potential mother against one or more endogenous polypeptide antigens selected from lactate dehydrogenase A (LDH A), lactate dehydrogenase B (LDH B), stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 (STIP1), guanine deaminase (GDA), Y Box Binding Protein 1 (YBX1), collapsin response mediator protein 1 (CRMP1), and collapsin response mediator protein 2 (CRMP2). The peptides described herein are useful for determining a risk of an offspring for developing an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by detecting the presence of maternal autoantibodies in a biological sample of the mother or potential mother. The peptides or mimotopes thereof can also be administered to the mother or potential mother to block the binding between maternal autoantibodies and their antigens, thereby neutralizing the maternal autoantibodies.
