Antibodies bind to specific antigens on pathogens. This means that only one type of antibody will bind to a matching antigen. Once bound, the antigens - and the cells they are found on - are ...

The immune system detects pathogen-associated molecular patterns ... Once B lymphocytes spot the antigen (antibody generators), they begin secreting antibodies. Antibodies are special proteins ...

Antibodies and antitoxins are highly specific to the antigen or toxin that is made by the pathogen. That is why we say that the lymphocytes that produce them are specific.

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

And then, if the pathogen mutates ... computational approaches for antibody discovery: Generation of an antibody-antigen atlas of unprecedented size and variety Development of AI-based algorithms ...

For this to work, the antibodies produced must exactly fit the membrane molecules of the pathogen, like a key fitting a lock ... Until now, little was known about the mechanisms behind these changes ...

For this to work, the antibodies produced must exactly fit the membrane molecules of the pathogen ... by periodically changing their surface antigens so that existing antibodies no longer ...
