Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are specialized proteins produced by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign invaders, such as viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. They are ...

Survival rarely comes easy when pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma strikes. Most people learn of it only after it has spread, ...

Lecanemab, sold under the name Leqembi, is a monoclonal antibody therapy for Alzheimer's disease that clears toxic amyloid ...

An antibody (teal) bound to its target, the HIV protein Env (white and gray), also attaches to an immune cell via a receptor (red) on the immune cell’s surface. This interaction can activate the ...

The key to this new antibody lies in its ability to recognize a unique segment of the ROR1 protein, which is prevalent in many aggressive cancers yet is rarely found in healthy cells. Associate ...

In therapeutic antibody development the fragment crystallizable (Fc) region is far more than just an antigen-binding aid; it's role is much larger, functioning as the antibody’s functional control ...

Thyroid antibodies are cells the immune system forms in response to thyroid cells. They develop when the immune system mistakenly attacks thyroid cells and tissues. High levels can indicate an ...

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, an interdisciplinary team of researchers from the United States (US) conducted a comprehensive and systematic analysis of functional severe ...

Two new antibodies may treat autoimmune diseases by reducing inflammation through blocking the immune receptor FcγRI.

An experimental treatment rejuvenates the immune system of older mice, improving the animals’ ability to fight infections. If it works in humans, the therapy could reverse age-related declines in ...
