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 unique reaction in which antibodies bind to other antibodies may help scientists at Scripps Research better understand how ...

A technique invented by the lab, known as Electron Microscopy-Based Polyclonal Epitope Mapping (EMPEM), lets the researchers see exactly where on the HIV virus antibodies bind. When they carried ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has identified a key mechanism responsible for endosomal recycling ...

Repetitive HIV vaccinations can lead the body to produce antibodies targeting the immune complexes already bound to the virus ...

A molecular cage has been designed to surround cancer proteins and make them easier to visualize with cryo-electron microscopy, enabling insights into their structure previously not possible. Nearly ...

This is a mugshot of a killer. The little yellow dots are HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) particles, also called virions. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), an ...

The 3D electron microscopy imaging is available using Serial Block Face (SB-EM) and Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM) or Electron Tomography (ET) Electron tomography is TEM based ...

A technique invented by the lab, known as Electron Microscopy-Based Polyclonal Epitope Mapping (EMPEM), lets the researchers see exactly where on the HIV virus antibodies bind. When they carried ...

For some HIV vaccines, repetitive immunizations lead to a chain reaction of antibody production against immune complexes already bound to viral proteins.
