Antibodies are best known for their ability to latch onto and neutralize bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. But these immune proteins can do more than that: They also activate other components of ...

Fine-tuned by the immune system to latch onto a particular site on a pathogen, Y-shaped antibodies bind to their targets with their arms. Meanwhile, the Fc region (or “stem”) of the antibody ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet shows how a small antibody fragment can block fertilization by targeting a key protein on the surface of the egg.

Merida Biosciences has emerged from Third Rock Ventures with $121 million in first-round financing for a pipeline of drugs ...

Leaving the Fc region alone could help the antibodies inhibit regulatory T cells that can reduce antitumor activity, but some argue it may also do away with some cytotoxic T cell activity as well.

B Cells are a type of lymphocyte whose primary purpose is to generate highly specific antibodies in response to a foreign antigen. The B cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway regulates B cell ...
