Antibodies are immune proteins that our bodies produce to help fight off infection. Where they recognize and bind a pathogen — and how — can give important clues to the microbe’s vulnerabilities. Fred ...

Antibodies in the gut target and control pathogenic infection, but they also target common resident commensal microorganisms. This suggests that immunoglobulins might influence microbiota composition ...

Antibodies are small proteins that are secreted by specialized cells to target and neutralize pathogens. The “Y” shaped structure is crucial fo | Immunology ...

Scientists at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle have shown that a potent antibody from a COVID-19 survivor interferes with a key feature on the surface of the coronavirus’s distinctive ...

Three years into the Covid-19 pandemic, it is clear that some of us produce stronger immune reactions to infection than others. Some may only experience mild flu-like symptoms, while others could be ...

Antibodies are proteins with around 150 kDa molecular weight. They have a similar basic structure comprising of four polypeptide chains held together by disulfide bonds. These four polypeptide chains ...

Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are specialized proteins produced by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign invaders, such as viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. They are ...

Antibody-based drugs are on the rise. Because subtle structural changes can alter their specificity, there’s a need for analytical methods that ensure that antibody-based drugs have the desired ...

An international research team has identified a novel HIV antibody that targets the virus at a particularly vulnerable site ...
