Pathogens can create sticky situations. When microbes invade the body to cause an infection, often one of their first lines ...

How immune responses arise against microorganisms living on the skin is not fully understood. The discovery that skin maintains its own system to form antibody responses reveals an unexpected ...

Researchers at the Ragon Institute have made a significant discovery about how antibodies can directly enhance the body's ability to fight Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the bacteria responsible ...

Antibodies are best known for their ability to latch onto and neutralize bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. But these immune proteins can do more than that: They also activate other components of ...

Researchers at the Ragon Institute have made a significant discovery about how antibodies can directly enhance the body's ability to fight Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the bacteria responsible ...

A Cornell-led collaboration has devised a potentially low-cost method for producing antibodies for therapeutic treatments. They've bioengineered bacteria with an overlooked enzyme that can attach ...

BERLIN — An individual’s profile of antibody responses to a range of herpes viruses and encapsulated bacteria such as Streptococcus could predict the onset of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) up to 10 ...

This study is led by Dr. Hassan Aboul-Ella (Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Cairo University). Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are used to prevent, detect, and treat a broad ...

A team has discovered an antibody that specifically binds to the food poisoning bacteria Campylobacter jejuni. It was also found that this antibody inhibits the activity of proteins involved in ...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - Vanderbilt University Medical Center will lead a massive project aimed at discovering therapeutic antibodies through the use of Artificial Intelligence. Therapeutic ...

These spiral rod-shaped bacteria are a leading cause of enteritis, sometimes leading to diarrheal and extra-intestinal infectious mortality in children under 5 and elderly persons, respectively.
