B lymphocytes can only produce a proprietary antibody against an antigen determinant, so it has the characteristics of highly specific physical and chemical properties, single biological activity, strong binding specificity with antigenRead More…
The outbreak of Ebola in 2014 in West Africa killed more than 11000 people. At the time, scientists were working on several experimental vaccines and treatments, but none of them were approvedRead More…
Most CAR-T cell therapies require targeting cancer cell-specific antigens. Now, there is a new way to target the environment around the tumor, which comes from nanobodies naturally produced by free alpacas, camelsRead More…
Scientists, from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), have successfully reconstructed biomolecules in the form of images. The goal of the researchers is to create a mirror artificial protein synthesis system. InRead More…
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) evades the body’s immune defenses through multiple mutations, and antibodies produced by the host immune system against HIV follow complex and untraceable evolutionary pathways. This complexity makesRead More…
Immuno-Oncology Therapy (I-O) refers to a therapy that kills tumor cells by activating the body’s immune system. According to their different mechanisms of action, immunotherapeutic drugs can be divided into six categories.Read More…
In a recent study published in an international magazine of Immunity, scientists at the University of Southampton have developed a new antibody that could hold the key to unlocking cancers’ defense againstRead More…
In a new study, researchers from the University of Tokyo in Japan revealed the structure of a immune protein called immunoglobulin M (IgM) by using computer image analysis and electron microscopy imaging.Read More…
Most proteins have a tendency to form polymers, which are accompanied by slow polymer formation when they are produced, stored, transported, and injected into a patient. There are two reasons for whyRead More…
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) — preparations of a specific type of antibody designed to bind to a single target — have shown promise in the fight against cancer and autoimmune diseases. They alsoRead More…
