There are different types of antibodies present in blood – IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD and IgE. Each type of antibody has a definite method to destroy the pathogens and thus helps to protect the body against foreign agents. In pathological conditions like autoimmune disorder, sometimes antibodies erroneously consider healthy tissues as a foreign substance and kill them.
James Harrison started donating blood and plasma in 1954 at the age of 18; he continued it until he turned 81 and retired. In his lifetime, he donated blood over 1,100 times across six decades and saved the lives of millions of babies.
Some studies have shown that a phenomenon called immune evasion can occur in the body where immunity where Omicron variants can go undetected by antibodies.
Over time, your immune response to COVID-19 virus naturally declines after an infection or after vaccination. Hence, booster shots are required for longer-lasting antibodies.
Antibodies produced in the blood can last longer than their nasal counterparts
ZMapp And Remdesivir should not be used to treat Ebola virus disease, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in its new guideline.
Scientists at Scripps say that people with "hybrid immunity" who had been infected with COVID and subsequently vaccinated against the virus may have antibodies that can neutralize all the variants of SARS-CoV-2.
Most people receiving treatment for breast cancer prefer treatment with PHESGO compared to IV administration.
According to a new study, combination of monoclonal antibodies and dexamethasone is more effective than either of these treatments alone.
Exercise can enhance our body's antibody response to flu or COVID-19 vaccines, suggests a new study. Read on to know how
A new study adds more evidence that previously infected individuals and fully vaccinated individuals are at risk for infection with the Omicron variant.
Vaccines designed around alpha, beta, and delta Covid variants may be less effective against other variants, suggests a new study.
Monoclonal antibody cocktail therapy is gaining a lot of attention and emerging as hope for COVID patients. Here's everything you need to know about it.
Scientists and health experts remain divided on the need for a booster shot for everyone. With so much debate, is the Covid-19 booster shot the boon the world has been waiting for?
The organisation has also urged drug producing companies and governments to address the high price and limited production of the antibody combination.
Administering monoclonal antibodies upfront to sero-negative autoimmune patients helped in reducing the risk of severe disease and hospitalisation.
The antibody cocktail therapy is recommended for Covid-19 patients above the age of 65, who require no oxygen support but are at risk of developing a severe form of the infection owing to their underlying health conditions.
If you get Covid-19 and are at higher risk for severe illness, ask your doctor about monoclonal antibody therapy, say researchers. Read to know more about this medication.
Covid-19 has swept the whole world and the daily cases are still rising. With vaccines available for administration, here's how the vaccines build the antibodies which then help in neutralizing the virus infection.
