Tissue cross-reactivity studies assist in identifying the specific antigens involved in these diseases. For example, in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, researchers can pinpoint which autoantigens share similarities with microbial antigens. ...
Comparing gold nanoparticles with latex beads, it can be observed that lateral flow assays using latex beads on the conjugation pad have higher sensitivity and specificity than assays using gold nanoparticles. Latex Agglutination Assays: The Role of Dyed Polystyrene Particles Latex agglutination is the change in agglutination capacity observed when a sample containing a ...
The firm develops monoclonal antibodies that target tumor-specific antigens through the services. This method shows potential for better patient response rates while simultaneously enabling the detection of tumor progression and resistance mechanisms. ...
Single-domain antibodies consist of a single polypeptide chain that retains the ability to bind specifically to antigens. Unlike traditional antibodies, which are composed of heavy and light chains, these smaller fragments are typically around 15 kDa in size. ...
This host cell, often a yeast or bacteria, then produces antigens that mimic the pathogen’s characteristics. When administered, these antigens stimulate the immune system to recognize and combat the actual pathogen without causing disease. One notable example is the use of the hepatitis B virus surface antigen. By inserting the relevant ...
