Many vaccines work by introducing a protein to the body that resembles part of a virus. Ideally, the immune system will produce long-lasting antibodies recognizing that specific virus, thereby ...

A research team led by Professor Chen Peng from the College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering at Peking University has ...

Scripps Research scientists found that HIV vaccination can lead to the production of anti-immune complex antibodies (blue) that recognize immune complexes composed of antibodies (green) rather than ...

Pegcetacoplan significantly reduces proteinuria in patients with recurrent C3 glomerulopathy, or primary immune-complex ...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a debilitating and progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by the loss of ...

C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and primary immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) are two rare kidney diseases. They’re both driven by activity of the complement system, which is a ...

An international research group directed by UMC Utrecht have developed and characterized two first-in-class antibodies that specifically block the high-affinity IgG receptor FcγRI. Their findings open ...

Your immune system harbors a lifetime’s worth of information about threats it’s encountered — a biological Rolodex of baddies. Often the perpetrators are viruses and bacteria you’ve conquered; others ...

Panelists discuss how immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy develops through a complex 4-hit cascade involving aberrant IgA1 glycosylation, anti-glycan antibody formation, immune complex deposition, and ...

Within hours of getting inked, pigments begin migrating through your body, building up in immune tissues and triggering ...
