Humoral immunity refers to antibody-mediated immune responses. Antibodies are produced by plasma cells and protect the host from infection in three main ways: by binding to pathogens to inhibit ...

The antibody's binding sites, located at the ends of its arms, specifically recognize and attach to the unique regions of the antigens, called epitopes. This specific interaction is crucial for the ...

Circulating antibodies are highly selective ... displaying thousands of human peptides. Antigen arrays have been used to gauge humoral immune responses. Using PepStar high-content peptide ...

Mapping an antibody’s epitope, where it binds a target, can now be done in three dimensions, which optimizes the selection of application-specific antibodies.

Three doses of COVID-19 mRNA vaccination induce long-lasting antibody and memory B-cell responses, according to a study of ...

Navrogen, Inc. has announced groundbreaking advancements in monoclonal antibody (mAb) and antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) ...

A specialized protein produced by the immune system that helps destroy disease-causing organisms. An antibody is a component of humoral immunity ... in the body and is sequestered by specific ...

such as complement activation and binding to immune cell receptors. Antibodies are produced by B lymphocytes through a process called clonal selection. When a B cell encounters an antigen that matches ...

By cloning the variable regions of the heavy and light chains of antibodies from immunized blood donors together on a single coding region, the two produced a fusion protein with all of the antigen ...
