This is the first in a three-part series of animations about therapeutic antibodies, providing viewers with an overview of antibody structure and function. The other two videos, will cover antibody ...

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 ...

The lower hinge of immunoglobulin G (IgG), an overlooked part of the antibody, acts as a structural and functional control hub, according to a study by researchers at Science Tokyo. Deleting a single ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have analyzed the antibody Immunoglobulin M in rainbow trout to shed some light on why these proteins may have evolved over time. Antibodies -- proteins that are produced by our immune ...

In a recent study published in Science Translational Medicine, researchers evaluated the differential humoral immune response to two coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines - messenger ...
