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) and ...

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 autoantibodies (antibodies that mistakenly attack the body's own ...

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) ...

A look at cancer cells: Thanks to an innovative method of super-resolution microscopy, researchers observed with molecular resolution in 3D how therapeutic antibodies attack and alter B cells ...

However, applying this approach to antibodies has proven more challenging, primarily due to the high degree of variability inherent in these proteins. To overcome that limitation, MIT researchers have ...

One way the immune system protects the body from germs and other foreign substances is by making large numbers of antibodies. An antibody is a protein that sticks to a specific protein called an ...
