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.
