An antigen is any substance that prompts your body to trigger an immune response against it. Antigens include allergens, bacteria and viruses. Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins that the body produces ...

An antibody is a Y-shaped protein produced by B cells of the immune system in response to exposure to antigens. The tip of each Y-shaped arm contains antigen binding sites (paratopes) that bind to a ...

COVID-19 testing includes molecular (PCR), antigen (rapid), and antibody (serology) tests, each serving different ...

Likewise, the strength of the bond between the antibody and epitope can vary, as can the number of antibodies that bind near one another. To answer these questions in the new study, Hangartner's ...

Epitope Binning-seq, evaluates epitope similarity using genetically encoded query antibodies (qAbs) on antigen-expressing cells and next-generation sequencing (NGS), allowing simultaneous ...

“Patent strategies for antibody medicines should include obtaining an antibody sequence-based patent covering the developed drug, in addition to an epitope-based patent.” Patents involving ...

Epitope Binning-seq, evaluates epitope similarity using genetically encoded query antibodies (qAbs) on antigen-expressing cells and next-generation sequencing (NGS), allowing simultaneous ...

In this presentation, we will describe an analytical approach to characterize the antigen-specific antibody repertoire directly from the secreted proteins in convalescent serum. This approach enables ...

There are three different ways to test for COVID-19: PCR tests, antigen tests and antibody tests. Each method is best for a different stage of COVID-19 infection. Used in sequence, all three ...
