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 ...

Vertebrates with a defined immune system, such as humans, have an immune response consisting of an innate and adaptive response, also known as a specific response. The specific response is tailored to ...

Researchers at the University of Southampton have gained unprecedented new insight into the key properties of an antibody needed to fight off cancer. The interdisciplinary study, published in Science ...

An international research team has identified a novel HIV antibody that targets the virus at a particularly vulnerable site ...

The engineering and production of antibodies are vital in drug discovery, offering effective and precise therapeutics and diagnostic/prognostic materials for numerous diseases. Antibodies are proteins ...

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, ...

The history of antibody engineering and production in drug discovery can be traced back to the 1970s and 1980s [1] when scientists first began to explore the potential of using antibodies as ...
