A Japanese research team has uncovered how sugar chains (glycans) modifications dynamically regulate the structure and function of human immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies. By integrating nuclear ...

An international research group directed by UMC Utrecht has developed and characterized two first-in-class antibodies that specifically block the high-affinity IgG receptor FcγRI. Their findings open ...

A collaboration led by UCLA and the Seattle Children’s Research Institute has yielded new knowledge about the genes responsible for the production and release of immunoglobulin G, the most common type ...

In therapeutic antibody development the fragment crystallizable (Fc) region is far more than just an antigen-binding aid; it's role is much larger, functioning as the antibody’s functional control ...

Increased fucosylated IgG and reduced bisecting GlcNAc during HTNV convalescence may promote rapid recovery from hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.

A recent study published in Cell Reports demonstrated that vaccine-induced antibody functions against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) diminish with age. Study: BNT162b2 ...

Rubella antibodies in the blood mean that a person’s immune system has developed a response to the rubella virus. A positive result for rubella immunoglobulin (IgG) antibodies means a person is immune ...

"The hybrid antibody is significantly better than the body's own antibodies at fighting both streptococcus and SARS-CoV-2", say the researchers behind the discovery. Brief facts about the study: basic ...
