If you get sick with COVID-19, your immune system will make antibodiesdays to weeksafter you were infected. However, this does not mean you will feel 100% better. Natural immunity means that once you have developed immunity, your body should know how to fight the infection if you are exp...
Adult patients are more likely to develop chronic disease than children. Moreover, higher platelet counts at diagnosis and the presence of ANAs and anti-thyroid antibodies may serve as predictors of disease chronicity [79,80,81]. Severe ITP refers to patients with clinically relevant bleeding of...
proteins, likemonoclonal antibodiesand cell signaling proteins. Unlike most chemically-derived small-molecule drugs, biological products are generally derived from a living organism, such as humans, animals, microorganisms or yeast. Clinically, they are used to treat patients with cancer, kidney diseases...
Developing a universal influenza vaccine is the ultimate goal for influenza vaccinologists, and one possible solution to this is the induction of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs), which are capable of binding to almost all HA variants. The presence of a highly conserved antibody binding site...
criteria ones, suggesting little added value for the use of the tested non-criteria aPLs, with the exception of aPT, which seems to have different kinetics and might be a promising APS diagnostic tool.

Type AB blood has no antibodies in the plasma, and type O blood has both anti-type-A and anti-type-B antibodies in the plasma. These antibodies are not present at birth but are formed spontaneously during infancy and last throughout life. In addition to the ABO blood group system, there...
Genetic manipulation of mouse monoclonals to produce humanized antibodies and preparation of bacteriophage libraries displaying Ig repertoires are examined. The possibility to extend these approaches to the production of in vitro repertoires and to obviate the in vivo immunization step is also discussed....
Van Tyne and her colleagues have spent the past couple of years trying to explain why their phages failed. They don’t yet have an answer, but they do have a hypothesis. A couple of weeks after Cole began receiving the second phage, she developed antibodies against both phages. “Possibly...
The approach is based on the idea that antibodies developed by recovered patients might strengthen the immune system of new patients.
Teresa Wagner and Ulrich Rothbauer discuss the development of Nanobodies against SARS-CoV-2 and why Nanobodies are versatile alternatives to classical antibodies in SARS-CoV-2 research.Written by guest authors Teresa Wagner and Ulrich Rothbauer ChromoTek and Proteintech recently launched Nanobodies ...
