Powerful tools illuminate the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 On the surface of the complex structure of the antibody is a spot on the tips of each of its floppy, Y-shaped arms. This infinitesimally ...

These chains are interconnected by disulfide bonds, resulting in a characteristic Y-shaped structure with a total molecular weight of approximately 150 kDa. Each antibody molecule possesses ...

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 ...

Scientists have created a new type of super-strong antibody that could significantly enhance cancer immunotherapy. In an ...

Sera with these characteristics have been identified in a number of HIV-1 donor cohorts, and these quaternary-structure-preferring V1/V2-directed antibodies are among the most common broadly ...

In the September 25 PNAS online, researchers led by Chris Dealwis at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville published the first crystal structure of a monoclonal antibody to the amyloid-β (Aβ) ...

Although their role is universal, antibody structure varies in different animals. In a new study, researchers have analyzed the antibody Immunoglobulin M in rainbow trout to shed some light on why ...

They validated through in vitro binding and neutralization assays that the D48 antibody efficiently neutralized HSV-1 virus infection by binding to gB. Subsequently, they resolved the structure of ...
