An antibody is a blood protein that is produced in response to and counteracts an antigen. Antibodies are produced in response to disease and help the body fight against the particular disease. In this way, antibodies help the body develop an immunity to disease.

GW one of 18 clinical trial sites across the United States testing monkeypox vaccine in adolescents

The National Institutes of Health trial to evaluate the mpox (previously known as monkeypox) vaccine JYNNEOS has now entered the next stage and is studying the immune responses to and the safety of the vaccine in adolescents.

Using an implantable nanofluidic device to tame pancreatic cancer

Houston Methodist nanomedicine researchers have found a way to tame pancreatic cancer - one of the most aggressive and difficult to treat cancers - by delivering immunotherapy directly into the tumor with a device that is smaller than a grain of rice.

13 Apr 2023

MHRA research evaluates two different approaches to cancer therapies

The report 'Antibody conjugates for targeted delivery of Toll-like receptor 9 agonist to the tumor tissue', published in the PLOS ONE journal, highlights MHRA research which showed that genetic engineering of antibodies used to activate and support the immune system against cancer leads to improvements in their reliability and effectiveness.
