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, 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 ...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), emerged in late December 2019, leading to the ongoing worldwide pandemic.

Antibodies—proteins that are produced by our immune system to protect us—are crucial for recognizing and getting rid of unwanted substances, or antigens, in our body. Although their role is universal, ...

Researchers have gained unprecedented new insight into the key properties of an antibody needed to fight off cancer. Researchers at the University of Southampton have gained unprecedented new insight ...

Pathogens can create sticky situations. When microbes invade the body to cause an infection, often one of their first lines ...

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 ...

Researchers have found that the flexibility of the structure between the arms of an antibody—the so-called “hinge”—influences the strength of the immune response that it elicits. This finding could be ...

Scientists have found that antibodies stop UTI-causing E. coli by jamming or mimicking cell receptors, preventing bacterial ...

Researchers at Texas Biologics at The University of Texas at Austin recently made a discovery that they believe could “represent a paradigm shift” in virus treatment, according to the ...
