Using advanced electron microscopy, researchers in Leiden have captured detailed images showing how, in the rare pregnancy ...

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, ...

A new study shows how the single-molecule organization of receptors in a cellular context determines the function of antibodies, opening up new pathways for the development of cancer immunotherapies.

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers explored the differences in infant and maternal cord antibody functions between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ...

An international research team has identified a previously overlooked factor that influences how antibodies neutralize SARS-CoV-2: their mechanical stability under force. Antibodies are key components ...

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 ...

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 ...
