Atherosclerosis is a lipid-driven chronic inflammatory disease that is modulated by innate and adaptive immunity including humoral immunity. Importantly, antibody alterations achieved by genetic means ...

Is it possible to improve the antibodies that the body produces to fight SARS-CoV2? In a study led by researchers from Lund University in Sweden, this was investigated by redesigning antibodies and ...

Opsonization is the mechanism by which targeting of particles for destruction through phagocytosis becomes enhanced. Opsonins are molecules that mark foreign particles for phagocytosis. Phagocytosis ...

Lund University researchers have modified opsonizing monoclonal antibodies to improve the immune response against SARS-CoV-2. By switching to a more potent IgG3 backbone, the antibodies can better tag ...

In study conducted for U.S. Army Medical Research Institute, SAB-183 demonstrated strong immune protection and response against Yersinia pestis infection, which causes plague Findings demonstrate ...

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 ...

Macrophages are abundant in many solid tumors and are potential effector cells for monoclonal antibody-based immunotherapies because they can in principle phagocytose IgG-opsonized cancer cells.

Microglia are a type of immune cell that works as a ‘janitor’ to the central nervous system that clears out dead cells and other debris. But when these janitor cells themselves die, other microglia ...
