Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and their collaborators focused on the ‘cancer protection’ gene RAD51C, finding over 3,000 harmful genetic changes that could potentially disrupt ...

The gene RAD51C is a “cancer protection” gene that encodes a protein crucial for DNA repair. Variants in this gene that stop the protein from working are known to increase the risk of breast ...

A team of researchers has discovered an antibody that can counter all known variants of the COVID-19 virus. The scientists also claim the antibody can also resist distantly related viruses that ...

With a focus on the “cancer protection” gene RAD51C, researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and their partners discovered over 3,000 deleterious genetic alterations that may interfere with its ...

No writing assistance was utilized in the production of this manuscript. Monoclonal antibodies are novel therapeutic agents used with great success in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Antivenom (often spelled “antivenin”) is an antibody product that can disable a particular venom’s toxins. If injected quickly after a bite or sting, the antibodies in antivenom neutralize the venom, ...

Deciding on antigen vs. antibody tests when choosing a COVID-19 test is easier when the definitions and their function are clear. These tests represent different ways you can check for SARS-CoV-2, the ...

Antigens include allergens, bacteria and viruses. Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins that the body produces when it detects antigens. Antibodies are produced by immune cells called B cells. Antigens are ...

abstract. Antibodies constitute a staggering $145 billion annual market—an amount projected to almost double by 2026. Consequently, patents covering antibodies are among the most valuable in the ...

Antibodies are secreted immunoglobulin molecules produced mainly by plasma cells. The antigen-binding site of the antibody has a unique structure that allows it to bind antigen in a highly ...

New research identifies specific genetic changes that can increase a person's risk of breast and ovarian cancers, to help guide clinical decision-making. Scientists have pinpointed thousands of ...
