Antibodies are also referred to as immunoglobulins (Ig). Immunoglobulins are large Y-shape proteins that are primarily created by plasma cells. These generally consist of two identical light chains ...

Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific for their antigen and have a well-characterized structure, making them ideal for use as antibody therapeutics. 5 Each mAb, composed of two heavy and two light ...

Vertebrates with a defined immune system, such as humans, have an immune response consisting of an innate and adaptive response, also known as a specific response. The specific response is tailored to ...

Immune response to SARS-CoV-2: B-lymphocyte releases antibodies that bind to and mark coronaviruses. Hence, the viruses can't penetrate into their target cells and are engulfed and destroyed by a ...

VHH antibodies, they’re not just small, they're modular engineering platforms, capable of powerful biological activity. But ...

Researchers have analyzed the antibody Immunoglobulin M in rainbow trout to shed some light on why these proteins may have evolved over time. Antibodies -- proteins that are produced by our immune ...
