Consequently, when antibodies are introduced into a body-fluid sample (for example, a blood or urine sample), they bind only to their target antigen molecules. Unbound antibodies are then washed ...

Here, we discuss strategies to select the best therapeutic antigen targets, to optimize the structure of IgG antibodies and to design related or new structures with additional functions.

The low-cost test developed by Professor Vinayak Dravid and research professor Gajendra Shekhawat builds on an existing ...

White blood cells circulate in the blood and lymphatic ... Once B lymphocytes spot the antigen (antibody generators), they begin secreting antibodies. Antibodies are special proteins that lock ...

The O blood group lacks any antigens while group A, B, and AB are successively characterized by antigen A, B, and AB.

Antibodies are part of our immune system. They are proteins produced by white blood cells (B cells) that bind to and inactivate antigens - targets on viruses, bacteria and even our own cells.

Antibodies bind to specific antigens on pathogens. This means that only one type of antibody will bind to a matching antigen. For example, an antibody that can recognise an antigen on the ...

A super-resolution microscopy technique offers an unparalleled glimpse into how monoclonal antibodies bind to their targets ...

A team of Northwestern University scientists spanning disciplines have developed new technology that could lead to the ...

Antibodies bind to specific antigens on pathogens. This means that only one type of antibody will bind to a matching antigen. Scientists discovered that we could make antibodies to bind to ...

A blood test can show whether you have antibodies to the COVID-19 virus ... accurate than the other type of COVID-19 test, called an antigen test. You can do PCR tests at home.

Scientists in China have developed a potential vaccine to prevent the build-up of plaque in arteries that can lead to blood clots, stroke and heart attacks. At such a critical moment in US history, we ...
