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 […]
