New Discoveries about IgM and CD5L: Implications for Antibody Therapeutics

ENGINEERINGNET.BE – After a virus or bacteria enters our body, Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is the first antibody that the immune system produces. IgM prevents infections by binding to a pathogen. The pathogen can then no longer enter a cell to spread. IgM has been studied for decades in labs around the world. As early as … Read more

MIS-C in children: A distinct autoimmune response to COVID-19 targeting SNX8 and SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein domain

In a recent study published on the preprint server medRxiv, researchers analyzed a large dataset of children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) to determine whether their autoantibodies target a different set of host proteins than healthy controls. The researchers aimed to determine whether fine epitope matching between SARS-CoV-2 and the SNX8 protein is associated with … Read more

“Lower Antibody Affinity Improves Effectiveness of Immunotherapy for Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases”

Among the actors of the immune system, the antibodies locate and cling to the viruses and bacteria which infect our organism. They activate our defenses and allow the destruction of intruders. In order to optimize this mechanism in the event of subsequent infection by the same pathogens, the immune system produces antibodies whose “affinity” with … Read more

Two new antibodies identified by Liu et al. neutralize all current SARS-CoV-2 variants by binding the N-terminal domain, subdomain 1, and S2.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an immense impact on the global population, with hundreds of millions of cases and millions of deaths. Despite the development of effective vaccines, the ongoing emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants highlights the need for alternative treatment options, including monoclonal antibodies. Recent research has led to the discovery of novel broadly … Read more

[표지로 읽는 과학] How Our Body Fights COVID-19: Dong-A Science

The name of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) comes from the Latin word corona (corona). If you look at the Corona 19 virus in the foreground, the sharp protrusion-shaped spike protein is attached to the nucleus, because this shape resembles a corona. The international scientific journal Science published this week’s cover of a coronavirus with … Read more

What to know about the Khosta-2 virus isolated from bats in Russia

Khosta-2 virus, belonging to the same family as SARS-CoV-2, was isolated in 2020 near Sochi in Russia. Today we know more about its characteristics, such as its ability to use the ACE-2 receptor and to resist anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. – The batsbats they are the natural reservoir of many viruses. The monitoring and study of these … Read more

92 percent of all adult Germans already have antibodies against corona

A study from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania recently showed that most young people have already built up at least a certain basic immunity to corona. With the publication of a new study, the Robert Koch Institute has now confirmed this impression for those over 18 as well. According to this, 92 percent of adults in Germany already … Read more
