An international research consortium, led by scientists at VIB and UGent, has developed a new platform that could change how ...

Antibodies play an important role in the immune system. The immunoglobulins present on the B-lymphocyte surface send in signals to the cytoplasmic and nuclear electors. These also deliver the antigen ...

Beyond direct neutralization, antibodies induce, through their crystallizable fragment (Fc) domain, innate and adaptive immune responses critical to a successful host immune response against infection ...

An international research consortium, led by scientists at VIB and UGent, has developed a new platform that could change how antibody medicines are tested and brought to patients. The work, published ...

A study led by investigators from the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT and Harvard finds evidence that antibody protection may help control infection with the bacteria that causes tuberculosis (TB). In ...

Effective antibody responses against HIV are rare both during natural infection and after vaccination. As a result, many research groups have focused their efforts on identifying and characterizing ...

The lower hinge of immunoglobulin G (IgG), an overlooked part of the antibody, acts as a structural and functional control ...

Researchers have discovered a new function of anti-HIV-1 antibodies by applying cutting-edge microscopy techniques to in vitro viral cultures. The scientists found that certain antibodies already ...

Monoclonal antibodies have proved effective in the prevention and treatment of Covid-19. Their effectiveness depends on the recognition of specific structures on the surface of the viral spike protein ...

Thyroid antibodies are cells the immune system forms in response to thyroid cells. They develop when the immune system mistakenly attacks thyroid cells and tissues. High levels can indicate an ...
