Massenspektrometrische Präzisionsanalyse eines Antikörper-Bindemotivs in der Linker-Region von C2H2-Zinkfinger-Proteinen : von der Charakterisierung der Epitop-Feinstruktur zur Antikörper-basierten Tumordiagnostik am Beispiel des Endometriumkarzinoms

Abstract: I applied ITEM-TWO to investigate whether tumor diagnosis with the anti-HpTGEKP antibody depended on amino acid exchanges/phosphorylations within its bipolar binding motif. 15 peptides were tested: The 10 most common C2H2 zinc finger linkers and linkers carrying the H11Y exchange plus phosphorylations, caused by mutation of the ZNF331 gene in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma. To reach my goal I needed to further differentiate specific antibody binding introducing a novel 'orthodox/unorthodox' binding type, which will improve assessment of future antibody-based diagnostics/therapeutics.
