antibody research

Antibody research involves studying proteins produced by the immune system that recognize and bind to specific targets, such as viruses or bacteria. Scientists develop and analyze these antibodies to understand how they neutralize pathogens, which aids in creating vaccines, diagnostic tests, and treatments. This research helps us learn how the immune system fights diseases and can lead to new immunotherapies, improving health outcomes. By understanding antibody interactions at a detailed level, researchers can design more effective medical interventions and better detect infections or immune responses in patients.
