Boost immunity with diet, sleep, and stress management. Learn how to fortify your body’s defenses against infections and ...

Have you ever heard of a condition where your immune system gets too overprotective and ends up causing more harm than good?

Antibodies are best known for their ability to latch onto and neutralize bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. But these immune proteins can do more ...

A small group of antibodies in your blood stays the same for years, even after vaccines. These stable antibodies create a unique and personal immune 'fingerprint' that barely changes over time. The ...

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 ...

Immunotherapy is increasingly becoming standard therapy in cancer, with technology, such as checkpoint inhibitors and cell ...

Research has shed light on how a new type of antibody treatment reactivates patients' immune cells to fight ovarian cancer.

To treat glioblastoma, Purdue researchers are developing antibody-based immunotherapies to improve the recruitment and ...

Study reveals how a new IgE antibody therapy reactivates immune cells, offering a promising approach to fighting ovarian ...
