with a neutralizing antibody shows that the antibody binds to HA at a distance from the virus receptor binding site. Comparison of the properties of this antibody and its Fab with those of an ...

Here we outline a different approach: using antibodies that bind, but are non-neutralizing, yet still protective in high doses. Part one will describe how this method was uncovered, and part two ...

The structure of an antibody can be divided into several key regions: Variable Regions (Fab): Located at the tips of the Y-shaped molecule, the variable regions contain the antigen-binding sites.

Antibodies bind to specific antigens on pathogens. This means that only one type of antibody will bind to a matching antigen. Scientists discovered that we could make antibodies to bind to ...
