New Sheriff in Town: Immune Cells Found to Regulate Immune Response and Avoid Autoimmunity

Our immune systems develop to recognize what is foreign within our bodies. As immune cells are generated in the bone marrow and mature in other locations, they undergo processes that instruct which cells and tissues are ‘self’ vs ...

New Antibody Improves Treatment for Black Fungus

Mucormycosis or ‘black fungus’, is a fungal infection affecting the sinuses, lungs, brain, and skin. The fungal infection is rare but can be fatal for those with a weakened immune system. Those that contract black fungus unknowingly inhale spores from different molds, including Rhizopus, Mucor, and ...

A Key Trigger of Immune Overactivity is IDed

The immune system is crucial to our health. It must sense pathogens and respond to these threats effectively. But the immune system also has to be carefully controlled. If it starts to attack healthy tissues, overreacts to an infection, or is constantly causing low-grade inflammation, serious problems can arise ...

Simultaneous polyclonal antibody sequencing and epitope mapping by cryo-electron microscopy and mass spectrometry

Joost Snijder, PhD - Assistant Professor, Utrecht University

Antibodies are a major component of adaptive immunity against invading pathogens. In this presentation, we will describe an analytical approach to characterize the antigen-specific antibody repertoire directly from the secreted proteins in convalescent serum. This approach enables simultaneous antibody sequencing and epitope mapping using a combination of single particle cryo-electron microscopy ...
