T cells gradually lose their effectiveness when exposed to tumors repeatedly because they express coinhibitory receptors, which function as brakes.
Immunology
Although macrophages are widely recognized for their participation during the acute phase of respiratory viral infections, less is known about their activity during the post-inflammatory phase.
They discovered many subsets of uncommon T cell types, making up less than 5% of the total, after examining almost a million human T cells.
To increase the efficacy of treatment, scientists from Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering have created a novel cancer immunotherapy that targets cancer-killing cytokines where they are found in tumours.
At the RIKEN Centre for Integrative Medical Sciences in Japan, researchers under the direction of Hiroshi Ohno have found a connection between gut microbiota and the effectiveness of oral immunotherapy for milk allergies. The study, which was published in the scholarly journal Allergology International, discovered a link between a higher […]
Senior Investigator Alex Marson, MD, PhD, delved deeply into T-cell DNA to identify certain nucleotides, which are fundamental building blocks of genetic information
Immunoglobulins The glycoproteins produced by B-lymphocytes effector cells or plasma cells against specific antigens are known as Immunoglobulins or Antibodies. Antibodies are made up of multiple immunoglobulin domains that are composed of a polypeptide chain that folds into a series of antiparallel β-pleated strands and these strands are arranged into […]
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, commonly known as ELISA or EIA, a technique that depends on an enzyme. Both antigens as well as antibody can be detected by conjugating an enzyme with an antibody that reacts with a colourless substrate but generate a colour reaction. The colourless substrate that generates colour upon […]
