Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (IGs), are glycoproteins produced in response to an immune reaction and exhibit high specificity for the antigens that elicit the response. An antibody ...

Immunoglobulins are central to shaping immune responses and are critical tools for probing biological mechanisms in biomedical research. However, selecting an inappropriate antibody isotype can lead ...

Despite the well-recognized involvement of immunoglobulin (Ig) A in mucosal immunity, the function of its receptor, FcαRI (CD89), is poorly understood. The ability of FcαRI to activate leukocytes ...

Two preparations of human immunoglobulin modified for intravenous use (iv immunoglobulin) by different methods (reduction-and-alkylation, or pH 4 treatment) were evaluated for in vitro and in vivo ...

Several types of antibody-mediated diseases are known. Some are thought to be adverse effects of vaccination, which is logical since vaccines, by definition, cause their effects via stimulation of the ...

Adults and older children undergoing reinfection probably constitute an important source of infection for susceptible infants. For this reason it would be desirable to develop immunoprophylactic ...
