In mice, roseolovirus disrupts immune cells’ process of learning self-recognition. Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Type 1 diabetes are thought to arise when…
The finding brings researchers closer to finding the exact cause of inflammation and clotting in severe COVID-19 patients. Scientists have discovered that “rogue” antibodies found…
After studying blood samples from 244 patients hospitalized for COVID-19, a group of researchers, including those who work at the National Institutes of Health, identified…
Researchers also found that previously-infected patients with obesity, contrary to expectations, had a higher and more sustained immune response. New research to be presented at…
Two for one: Repeated seasonal influenza vaccines also provide kids better protection against future flu pandemics, researchers find. Researchers at McMaster University have found that…
It sounds like the stuff of science fiction: a man-made crystal that can be attached to antibodies and then supercharge them with potent drugs or…
A computational study shows that dozens of mutations help the virus’ spike protein evade antibodies that target SARS-CoV-2. A new study from MIT suggests that…
People vaccinated three times or vaccinated after an earlier COVID-19 infection had comparable neutralizing antibody activity to those with a breakthrough case. A recent study…
Researchers discovered P36-5D2, an antibody effective against major SARS-CoV-2 variants. It showed significant prophylactic effects in vivo, preventing severe disease and death, and reducing viral…
Omicron, emerging swiftly as a dominant variant, is less susceptible to both monoclonal antibodies and antibodies generated from previous infections or initial vaccine doses. Studies…
Research from the University of Massachusetts Amherst reveals that vaccinated breastfeeding women pass COVID-19 antibodies to their infants, offering them potential immunity. The study, which…
Cedars-Sinai Investigators Found Evidence of an Overactive Immune Response SARS-CoV-2 infection can induce an extended production of autoantibodies, detectable for up to six months post-recovery,…
Penn State researchers have uncovered a new mechanism of viral neutralization where antibodies distort the structures of viruses like Zika and dengue, inhibiting their ability…
The findings could lead to the development of more effective vaccines and antibody treatments for COVID-19 variants. An international team of scientists have identified antibodies…
New Study Adds More Evidence for Omicron Immune Evasion Results suggest that previously infected individuals and fully vaccinated individuals are at risk for COVID-19 infection…
A combination of vaccination and naturally acquired infection appears to boost the production of maximally potent antibodies against the COVID-19 virus, new UCLA research finds. The…
Antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein produced by the immune system can help identify and fend off future infections, but not all antibodies are the…
