Research has identified 29 novel antibodies against the bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae, an important cause of drug-resistant infections. Using genetic and functional approaches, the researchers ...

Australian researchers have developed a powerful new way to target deadly, drug-resistant bacteria by designing antibodies that recognize a sugar found only on bacterial cells—an advance that could ...

A painless future of vaccination could be on the horizon, as researchers have been working on innovative delivery methods. Stanford University scientists have now presented another unique method using ...

Pathogens can create sticky situations. When microbes invade the body to cause an infection, often one of their first lines of attack is to cling tenaciously to the surfaces of targeted human cells.

Monoclonal antibodies -- treatments developed by cloning a cell that makes an antibody -- could help provide an answer to the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance, say scientists. Monoclonal ...

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 ...

An E.coli bacterium (pink) binds to a host cell surface in the lower left of this illustration. Sticking tenuously to a host cell is an early step in infection. In the upper right, antibodies deceive ...

A multi-center study led by researchers at Cincinnati Children's sheds surprising new light on why some newborns become severely ill from Escherichia coli infection, but others do not. Turns out that ...

One of the big mysteries in food allergy is why two people with similar levels of peanut-specific antibodies can react so ...
