This inspired her to complete her Ph.D. with a focus on antigen
recognition by antibodies.
Not exact matches
It persists, in large part, due to continual changes in the sequence of amino acid «building blocks» that make up the viral protein hemagglutinin, enabling it to avoid
recognition and removal
by immune system
antibodies.
«We have experiments in mice that show that the combined use of PD - 1
antibody and poly - IC is synergistic for the
recognition of tumors and an antitumor response mediated
by T - cells,» says Dr. Esteban Celis, co-leader of the Cancer Immunology, Inflammation and Tolerance program at the Georgia Cancer Center at Augusta University.
Rabbit monoclonals provide better antigen
recognition because the rabbit immune system generates
antibody diversity, and optimizes affinity
by mechanisms that are more efficient than those of mice and other rodents.
In this context, the Lingwood laboratory studies B cell
antibody responses to both HIV and influenza with the goal of 1) understanding how antigenic sites of vulnerability are initially perceived
by specific germline B cell receptor (BCR) sequences and 2) how that
recognition process can direct
antibody affinity maturation toward production of broadly neutralizing anti-viral responses.
This new marker of senescent cells is recognized
by a naturally occurring IgM
antibody that belongs to the innate immune system and is likely to be involved in a natural mechanism of immune
recognition and clearance of senescent cells.
Antisera against IgG (H+L) or against the F (ab») 2 fragments of IgG will also bridge PAP to IgM primary
antibodies (such as IgM monoclonal
antibodies)
by virtue of common light - chain
recognition.
