Sobre IBD

Cancer insistently remains among the leading causes of death worldwide, and identification of novel biomarkers that could aid in early diagnosis of this disease is of great importance. Circulating antibodies found in cancer patients’ blood have been described to have promising biomarker qualities. This work describes approaches that were successfully applied to identify novel antigens eliciting antibody formation in several types of cancer. One of the approaches, T7 phage-display SEREX approach that was elaborated within this study, resulted in the identification of 1064 antigens, which were further used for the development of an antigen microarray. This high-throughput platform enabled systematic comparison of antibody responses in cancer patients and healthy controls, and the results revealed that signatures of autoantibody responses holds great promise to be used for cancer diagnostics. Apart from the experimental part, the work includes a comprehensive literature review on the relevant topics in the tumour immunology field, it overviews and discusses the relevance of spontaneously occurring and induced B cell responses in cancer patients.

  • Viral Replication Complexes
    Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that need to co-opt a living cell’s machinery for replication. At the heart of the viral replication machinery are the nucleic acid polymerases, which are responsible for efficiently copying the viral genome. This process must often be coordinated with other viral processes, including protein translation and viral packaging. The poly...
  • Advances in Flavivirus Research
    The flaviviruses are composed almost entirely of arthropod-borne viruses, a subset of which are responsible for millions of cases of human disease each year. Among these viruses are dengue virus—a scourge throughout the tropical regions of Asia and the Americas; yellow fever virus—the “original” hemorrhagic fever virus; and the recently emerged Zika virus. While the flaviviruse...

  • Brain Asymmetry of Structure and/or Function
    Lesley J. Rogers / Lesley JRogers
    This edited book brings together research reports on the asymmetry of brain function in various species, including humans, dogs, birds, lizards and bees. As shown in a wide range of species, and, as we now know, not solely in humans, the left and right sides of the brain process information in different ways and control different responses or patterns of behaviour. Since this d...

  • The Epithelialto- Mesenchymal Transition ( EMT ) in Cancer
    Joëlle Roche
    The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly dynamic process with multiple transitional states, by which epithelial cells can convert into a mesenchymal phenotype. This process involves loss of cellular adhesion and cellular polarity, and an improvement in migratory and invasive properties. It occurs during normal embryonic development, tissue regeneration, organ ...

  • The Biology and Treatment of Myeloid Leukaemias
    There has been an observed decrease in the global mortality from cancer, mostly atributable to improved, particularly early, detection and prevention. For many carcinomas and leukaemias in adults, once the disease has reached a certain stage there are no therapies that are able to erradicate the cancer cells and cure patients. There has been progress in the treatment of acute m...
