Researchers demonstrate use of gold nanoparticles for cancer detection
Binding gold nanoparticles to a specific antibody for cancer cells could make cancer detection much easier, say medical researchers from the University of California, San Francisco and Georgia Institute of Technology. view more (2005-06-03)
Mayo Clinic Proceedings article explores possible link between obesity and viral infections
Experts don't dispute the important role that diet and activity play in maintaining a healthy weight. But can poor eating habits and a less active lifestyle fully explain the prevalence of obesity in the United States today? view more (2007-10-24)
NIST, NCI, SAIC partner on new method for detecting HER2 breast cancer
Generations of mothers have served up chicken soup to remedy the common cold, but now the therapeutic fowl may find use in diagnosis as well. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the scientific research firm SAIC recently showed how chicken antibodies may one day improve... view more...

A key antibody, IgG, links cells' capture and disposal of germs
Scientists have found a new task managed by the antibody that's the workhorse of the human immune system: Inside cells, Immunoglobulin G (IgG) helps bring together the phagosomes that corral invading pathogens and the potent lysosomes that eventually kill off the germs. view more (2006-11-14)
Analysis confirms benefits of combining trastuzumab and chemotherapy
A recent meta-analysis of five major breast cancer trials has confirmed that combination treatment with the antibody trastuzumab and chemotherapy improves survival in women with operable HER-2 positive breast cancer. view more (2007-07-09)
New study finds antibiotic vancomycin may trigger dangerously low platelet count
The antibiotic vancomycin often used in intensive care units is considered the drug of choice for the treatment of staphylococci (staph) infections that are resistant to most other antibiotics. view more (2007-03-01)
White blood cell plays key role in body's excessive repair response to asthma - Airway scarring can be disrupted by targeting eosinophils
Researchers in London and Montreal report today that they have discovered an important link in the development of the body's response to allergic asthma. They have found that one type of white blood cell, an eosinophil, which was known to cause inflammation of lung airways, is also responsible for driving the process which leads to an excessive... view more...

Scientists create first successful libraries of avian flu virus antibodies
An international group of American and Turkish research scientists, led by Sea Lane Biotechnologies, has created the first comprehensive monoclonal antibody libraries against avian influenza (H5N1) using samples from survivors of the 2005/2006 "bird flu" outbreak in Turkey. view more (2008-04-15)
Caltech scientists show why anti-HIV antibodies are ineffective at blocking infection
Some 25 years after the AIDS epidemic spawned a worldwide search for an effective vaccine against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), progress in the field seems to have effectively become stalled. view more (2009-04-23)
New technology opens gateway to studying HIV-specific neutralizing antibodies
Many scientists believe a vaccine that prevents HIV infection will need to stimulate the body to make neutralizing antibodies, infection-fighting proteins that prevent HIV from entering immune cells. view more (2009-03-16)
Gene for immune deficiency syndromes found
A newly discovered gene mutation may account for many cases of immune deficiency, in particular two syndromes known as immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency and Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID), report researchers in the July issue of Nature Genetics. The discovery may lead to a new diagnostic test for these conditions, which make people highly... view more... (2005-07-11)

Protein helps immune cells to divide and conquer
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have identified a key protein that is required for immune cells called B lymphocytes to divide and replicate themselves. The rapid generation of large numbers of these immune cells is critical to the body's antibody defense mechanism. view more (2009-03-09)
