An international research consortium, led by scientists at VIB and UGent, has developed a new platform that could change how ...

Effective antibody responses against HIV are rare both during natural infection and after vaccination. As a result, many research groups have focused their efforts on identifying and characterizing ...

The lower hinge of immunoglobulin G (IgG), an overlooked part of the antibody, acts as a structural and functional control hub, according to a study by researchers at Science Tokyo. Deleting a single ...

Teams at the Institut Pasteur, CNRS, Vaccine Research Institute (VRI) and Université de Paris have discovered a new function of anti-HIV-1 [1] antibodies by applying cutting-edge microscopy techniques ...

Researchers have discovered a new function of anti-HIV-1 antibodies by applying cutting-edge microscopy techniques to in vitro viral cultures. The scientists found that certain antibodies already ...

Antibodies are immune proteins that our bodies produce to help fight off infection. Where they recognize and bind a pathogen — and how — can give important clues to the microbe’s vulnerabilities. Fred ...

Both neutralizing antibodies and antibody effector functions are needed for protection against re-infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which may explain why it has been challenging to ...

MOG antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a rare autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. The blood of patients contains antibodies against myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), a ...

In the aftermath of those cases, some practitioners have suggested means-plus-function claiming as one strategy to obtain antibody claims that are broader in scope than the specific antibodies ...
