An antigen test, also known as a rapid test, is a faster, cheaper but less effective way to help determine who has COVID. Dr Peter Collignon ((KOL-in-yon)), from the Australian National University ...

Our blood is categorised into groups based on the presence or absence of specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). Antigens are molecules that trigger immune responses ...

Antigen processing and presentation is the mechanism by which whole antigens are degraded and loaded onto MHC molecules for display on the cell surface for recognition by T cells. Both macrophages ...

The paper is titled "Neoself-antigens are the primary target for autoreactive T cells in human lupus." Autoimmune diseases develop when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues ...

A new paper from MUSC Hollings Cancer Center researchers is helping to reveal the "rules" for engineering chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) Tregs. Tregs, or T-regulatory cells, have shown promise in ...

The governments – both Federal and State – are now encouraging people to use rapid antigen tests (aka RATs) at home to initially check if they have the coronavirus, but the resulting demand ...

The main tools used in the study of infectious diseases are recombinant antigens. They are frequently employed in the context of developing antibodies and vaccines. High-quality antigens and ...

Current clinical outcomes using chimeric-antigen receptors (CARs) against multiple myeloma show promise in the eradication of bulk disease. However, these anti-BCMA (CD269) CARs observe relapse as ...

Assays for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) are the most frequently used tests to detect HBV infection. Vaccination for HBV can produce transiently detectable levels of HBsAg in patients.
