Different types of antibodies are produced by your immune system. These five antibodies help fight disease by detecting viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens (disease-causing microorganisms ...

Two hinge regions link the Fab and Fc portions of each antibody molecule. There are five main types (isotypes) of antibodies, each with distinct structures and functions: IgG, IgM, IgA ...

Experts said a certain type of bispecific antibody seems to have hit upon a crucial combination of two cancer targets: the proteins VEGF and either PD-1 or PD-L1. “It’s exactly that,” said ...

In this part of his Pharmaceutical Executive video interview, Ian Chan, CEO of Abpro discusses the advantages of their DiversImmune and MultiMab platforms for antibody discovery and engineering.

‘Mono’ means one and 'clone' means identical copy. Monoclonal antibodies are, therefore, identical copies of one type of antibody. Antibodies bind to specific antigens on pathogens. This means ...

Antibodies bind to specific antigens on pathogens. This means that only one type of antibody will bind to a matching antigen. Scientists discovered that we could make antibodies to bind to ...

IgY antibodies are functional analogues of immunoglobulin G (IgG)—the most common type of antibody found in humans—produced in oviparous, i.e. egg-laying animals. With its newly designed ...

A bispecific antibody (BsAb) is a type of artificial protein with the ability to bind to two distinct antigens or two epitopes of one antigen at the same time. Bispecific antibodies can assume a ...

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 ...

Recent research from the Florida State University Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry shows that a particular type of monoclonal antibody known as NISTmAb retains its structure even if the ...
