Abstract: The present invention relates to novel protein pores and their uses in analyte detection and characterisation. The invention particularly relates to an isolated pore complex formed by a CsgG-like pore and a modified CsgF peptide, or a homologue or mutant thereof, thereby incorporating an additional channel constriction or reader head in the nanopore. The invention further relates to a transmembrane pore complex and methods for production of the pore complex and for use in molecular sensing and nucleic acid sequencing applications.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods of breast tumor analysis relying on the detection of expression levels of specific genes. Such methods find application in, amongst other, predicting the response of a breast cancer patient to immunotherapy or to immunogenic therapy, and in following up such responses. The expression levels of the genes can thus be used in determining which breast cancer patients are most likely to respond to immunotherapy or immunogenic therapy. The genes serving as biomarkers are individually highly performant in predicting the response of a breast tumor to immunotherapy or to immunogenic therapy, but are weak in predicting the response of melanoma to immunotherapy or to immunogenic therapy. Diagnostic kits are likewise part of the invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of biochemistry, more particularly to proteomics, more particularly to protein sequencing, even more particularly to single molecule peptide sequencing. The invention discloses methods for single molecule protein sequencing and/or amino acid identification using cleavage inducing agents which are not specific for one particular amino acid, cleave polypeptides step by step from the N-terminus onwards and provide information on the identity of the cleaved amino acids based on the kinetics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of structural biology. More specifically, the present invention relates to novel antigen-binding chimeric proteins, their uses and methods in three-dimensional structural analysis of macromolecules, such as X-ray crystallography and high-resolution Cryo-EM, and their use as a therapeutic, diagnostic, or imaging tool. Even more specifically, the invention relates to a fusion of a scaffold protein and an antigen-binding domain wherein the scaffold protein of said fusion interrupts the Immunoglobulin domain topology to form a rigid chimer.

Abstract: The present application relates to the field of cancer, particular to hypoxic tumors. It was found that hypoxia is an important driver for hypermethylation of (promoters of) tumor suppressor genes. As this hypermethylation is a stable signature that is also present in circulating tumor DNA in peripheral blood, detecting this methylation pattern is a surrogate marker for tumor hypoxia. This can be used to adapt therapy as well.
