Antibody therapies are a type of biologic. They are typically monoclonal antibodies selected to bind to a particular protein (often a cell-surface protein), and produced using recombinant DNA ...

Despite its vital role in "kick-starting" the immune response, IgD is arguably the least understood antibody, with little known about how it might participate in other parts of the immune system. A ...

Sjögren’s antibody testing is done using a blood sample. It checks antibody levels, including anti-SS-A (also called anti-Ro) and anti-SS-B (also called anti-La). Anti-SS-A and anti-SS-B are ...

Ideally, the immune system will produce long-lasting antibodies recognizing that specific virus, thereby providing protection. But Scripps Research scientists have now discovered that for some HIV ...

Patients using monoclonal antibody treatment vs standard of care had a significantly lower annualized exacerbation rate (RR, 0.82). Treating eosinophilic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) ...

The aim must be to create an EBacc that has more balance and flexibility for all. At Astrea, we value a thorough education in religious studies. A new national curriculum and KS4 qualification would ...

Immunotherapy against cancer: How therapeutic antibodies do their job Date: January 10, 2025 Source: University of Würzburg Summary: A look at cancer cells: Thanks to an innovative method of ...

MIT’s new AI model predicts antibody structures with greater accuracy, aiding disease treatment and streamlining drug discovery. With this model, researchers may be able to discover antibody drugs ...

They can then make many copies of that antibody in the lab. These are known as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs or Moabs). Monoclonal antibodies are used to treat many diseases, including some types of ...
