The immune system responds to an infection by producing antibodies that recognize and bind to the cell surface of the pathogen, thus marking it as an intruder and triggering an immune response. For ...

A new study by LMU and Helmholtz Munich shows how pathogens control changes in their cell surface to evade the immune system.

Catani and colleagues provide data on antigenic properties of neuraminidase proteins of pandemic H1N1 and show that antigenic diversity of the neuraminidase from 2009 to 2020 largely falls into two ...

Not revised: This Reviewed Preprint includes the authors’ original preprint (without revision), an eLife assessment, and public reviews. In this paper, the authors have performed an antigenic assay ...

New computational modeling of avian influenza variants' immunoprotein interactions—developed by a research team at the ...

"This strategy is known as antigenic variation," explains physicist Maria Colomé-Tatché, who is Professor of Functional Genomics and Cell Biology at LMU's Biomedical Center and leader of the ...

“Trypanosomes are masters at hiding from the immune system through antigenic variation,” says Siegel. “Their cells are enshrouded by a dense, homogeneous coat of surface ...
