Researchers in Mariette Barbier’s lab at West Virginia University study pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, shown here, to better understand bacteria and develop ways to kill it. Barbier is ...

Vaccines have long been considered settled science and the backbone of preventive care from infancy to adulthood in the United States and around the world. Backed by funding from the National ...

Researchers at the Ragon Institute have made a significant discovery about how antibodies can directly enhance the body's ability to fight Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the bacteria responsible ...

Right now, inside your digestive tract, there are trillions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that form a tiny universe known as the gut microbiome. New research shows that certain bacteria can alter ...

A team has discovered an antibody that specifically binds to the food poisoning bacteria Campylobacter jejuni. It was also found that this antibody inhibits the activity of proteins involved in ...

Antibodies are the number one immune cells that fight against infection and diseases. However, beyond their natural usage, biochemistry has devised several ways in which these antibodies can be ...

This study is led by Dr. Hassan Aboul-Ella (Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Cairo University). Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are used to prevent, detect, and treat a broad ...

Scientists have developed a new technology to efficiently isolate a specific subset of gut bacteria from fecal samples that are recognized by IgA antibodies. These 'IgA-coated' bacteria are associated ...
