The immune system’s capacity to distinguish self from non-self is in large part mediated by immunoglobulins, with IgG playing a pivotal role in both protective and pathological responses.

The lower hinge of immunoglobulin G (IgG), an overlooked part of the antibody, acts as a structural and functional control ...

An international research consortium, led by scientists at VIB and UGent, has developed a new platform that could change how ...

Immunoglobulins are central to shaping immune responses and are critical tools for probing biological mechanisms in biomedical research. However, selecting an inappropriate antibody isotype can lead ...

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 ...

An international research consortium, led by scientists at VIB and UGent, has developed a new platform that could change how antibody medicines are tested and brought to patients. The work, published ...
