Antigen-presenting cells work to present peptides derived from exogenous and endogenous antigens to circulating T cells, sparking off an immune response. Dendritic cells are unique amongst antigen ...

An army of defensive cells protects the body against invasion by foreign substances: the antigens. The specialized functions of these various "inflammatory" cells are now being clarified ...

New research from the University of Chicago shows how a specially trained population of immune cells keeps the peace by preventing other immune cells from attacking their own. The study, published ...

A bold funding initiative aims to help scientists predict a T cell’s target antigens, with implications far beyond cancer ...

The body stores white blood cells in different places, known as lymphoid organs. An antigen is any substance that can spark an immune response. In many cases, an antigen is a bacterium ...

Initially designed for hematological malignancies, CAR-T therapy is now being expanded to target solid tumors using specialized CAR-T cells that attack specific antigens. Ongoing clinical trials are ...

The paper is titled "Neoself-antigens are the primary target for autoreactive T cells in human lupus." Autoimmune diseases develop when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues ...

was used to investigate immune cell induction in PPs in response to dietary antigens. Peyer's patches as immune hubs: Peyer’s patches in the small intestine are crucial for inducing T-cells in ...

Antibodies bind to specific antigens on pathogens. This means that only one type of antibody will bind to a matching antigen. For example, an antibody that can recognise an antigen on the ...

The effective transmission of viral particles from cell-to-cell depends heavily on ... in the study of infectious diseases are recombinant antigens. They are frequently employed in the context ...
