Donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) targeting mismatched human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules are one of the principal threats to long-term graft survival in solid organ transplantation. However, many ...

These five antibodies help fight disease by detecting viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens (disease-causing microorganisms) and working to destroy them. Each has distinct methods of defending your ...

No writing assistance was utilized in the production of this manuscript. Monoclonal antibodies are novel therapeutic agents used with great success in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Recognition of specific antigen through the B-cell receptor (BCR) stimulates the activation of B cells, which ultimately results in the production of high-affinity antibodies and the provision of ...

A thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) test looks for certain antibodies that attack the thyroid. The presence of TbAb in high levels may indicate that someone has an autoimmune condition. To conduct 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 ...

some of the antibodies were not binding directly to the HIV viral antigen, but to immune molecules on its surface. "These antibodies actually make no direct contact with the viral protein," says ...

The genetic locus encoding Ig is critical for vertebrate humoral immune responses and diverse antibody repertoires. Despite the critical role of buffaloes ... and FR4 within the J gene backbone) and ...
