It slows/prevents the antibodies from going through the placenta and attacking the baby’s red blood cells. It helps the baby fight off the antibodies that are attacking his red blood cells. IVIG doesn’t completely block the antibodies from getting to the baby like M281 could but it does d...
In autoimmune and/or inflammatory disorders, the immune system triggers an inflammatory response when there are no foreign substances to fight and the body's normally protective immune system causes damage to its own tissues by mistakenly attacking itself. There are many different autoimmune disorders...
Blocking immune system inhibitors: they bind to certain proteins which provide the cancer-fighting cells an opportunity to work with less inhibition. Directly attacking cancer cells: they may attack the cell directly, leading to a series of events inside the cell that may cause it to self-destruc...
When the reactive hydrogen peroxide is left unchecked, it causes oxidative damage and inflammation of the surrounding thyroid tissues. This inflammation triggers lymphocytes or white blood cells (WBCs) to converge for clean-up. (17-20) As the WBCs converge, small amounts of antibodies are forme...
(Table2). Nivolumab is a human antibody, which blocks a signal that normally prevents activated T cells from attacking cancer cells. The target for nivolumab is the PD-1 receptor, and the antibody blocks the interaction of PD-1 with its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, releasing PD-1 pathway-...

[209]. Because many infectious agents have the ability to mutate rapidly, the combination of agents attacking different protein surfaces essential for the function of the virus could reduce the chance of mounting simultaneous escape mechanisms. Similar approaches could be effective against dengue virus ...
