The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has rapidly evolved throughout the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Several SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VoCs) have ...

A research team led by a Duke professor recently developed a novel computational model to predict antibody structures, a significant breakthrough for disease prevention efforts. A study published in ...

Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are specialized proteins produced by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign invaders, such as viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. They are ...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genomic surveillance has revealed thousands of alterations in structural and non-structural proteins. However, by the end of 2020, viral ...

“It’s a shortcut on a process which typically takes months to achieve with the current set of tools and technologies,” says Andrew Ward at Scripps Research in California. Antigens, such as the spike ...

In many fields of endeavor, traditional techniques are being turbocharged by rapid, rational, computer-driven techniques—that is, by artificial intelligence (AI). And there is plenty of evidence that ...

Antibodies are the critical targeting agents of the immune system and the crux of immune therapy and vaccine development, but studying them is slow, expensive and labor-intensive. Now, researchers at ...

The burden of drafting patent applications with sufficient support for antibody claims is not likely to lessen any time soon. The courts and the scientific community are in agreement that antibody ...
