Definition: A microarray is a small, flat substrate carrying an ordered grid of microscopic probe features, each containing a known biological molecule, that is used to measure many molecular targets ...

Specific antibody deficiency (SAD) is an immune system disorder. It occurs when you have normal levels of antibodies but an insufficient immune response to certain types of bacteria. Antibodies, also ...

Scientists at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) have developed a new microarray-based diagnostic platform that can help close vaccination gaps and quickly detect ...

In the chemical world, the tiny hyphen in antibody-drug conjugates—or ADCs, as they’re commonly known—does a lot more work than the perfunctory punctuation suggests. That hyphen stands for the ...

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are manufactured proteins that behave similarly to antibodies found naturally in the body. Researchers initially developed them for treating certain cancers but have now ...

Researchers have discovered an antibody able to neutralize all known variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, as well as distantly related SARS-like coronaviruses that infect other ...

Doctors may order a cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody test and other exams to confirm or rule out a rheumatoid arthritis (RA) diagnosis. A positive CCP antibody test doesn’t necessarily mean ...

Ahead of the November presidential election, just 19% of Americans say democracy in the United States is a good example for other countries to follow, according to a Pew Research Center survey ...

Antibody-mediated rejection is a leading cause of kidney-transplant failure. The targeting of CD38 to inhibit graft injury caused by alloantibodies and natural killer (NK) cells may be a therapeutic ...

The first study of the use of microarray patches to vaccinate children has shown that the method is safe and induces strong immune responses. The phase 1/2 randomized trial compared results from the ...

Microglia help limit the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by constraining amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology, effected through a balance of activating and inhibitory intracellular signals delivered by ...
