Efficient Construction and Effective Screening of Synthetic Domain Antibody Libraries

open access: yesMethods and Protocols, 2019
Phage display is a powerful technique for drug discovery in biomedical research in particular for antibody libraries. But, several technical challenges are associated with the selection process.

Variation in leaf surface hydrophobicity of wetland plants: the role of plant traits in water retention [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Leaf surface wetness has numerous physiological and ecological consequences, and the morphological structures on the leaf surface can affect its extent and duration, contributing to interception rates in the scale of the whole ecosystem.

Remotely Sensed Land Surface Temperature-Based Water Stress Index for Wetland Habitats

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Despite covering only 2−6% of land, wetland ecosystems play an important role at the local and global scale. They provide various ecosystem services (carbon dioxide sequestration, pollution removal, water retention, climate regulation, etc.) as ...

Anti‐ICOSL New Antigen Receptor Domains Inhibit T Cell Proliferation and Reduce the Development of Inflammation in the Collagen‐Induced Mouse Model of Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesJournal of Immunology Research, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Lymphocyte costimulation plays a central role in immunology, inflammation, and immunotherapy. The inducible T cell costimulator (ICOS) is expressed on T cells following peptide: MHC engagement with CD28 costimulation. The interaction of ICOS with its sole ligand, the inducible T cell costimulatory ligand (ICOSL; also known as B7‐related protein‐1 ...

Coevolution of Mucosal Immunoglobulins and the Polymeric Immunoglobulin Receptor: Evidence That the Commensal Microbiota Provided the Driving Force

open access: yesInternational Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Immunoglobulins (Igs) in mucosal secretions contribute to immune homeostasis by limiting access of microbial and environmental antigens to the body proper, maintaining the integrity of the epithelial barrier and shaping the composition of the commensal microbiota.

Rational Design of Single‐Domain Antibodies Targeting the Central Nervous System Neurite Outgrowth Inhibitor Nogo‐A

open access: yesApplied Research, Volume 4, Issue 3, June 2025.
The development of a nanobody for Nogo‐A, a potent neurite outgrowth inhibitor crucial in multiple sclerosis, is reported using a rational design approach. The nanobody targets the Nogo‐A ectodomain at the S1PR2 receptor‐binding region with submicromolar KD.

Blurring Borders: Innate Immunity with Adaptive Features

open access: yesJournal of Immunology Research, Volume 2007, Issue 1, 2007., 2007
Adaptive immunity has often been considered the penultimate of immune capacities. That system is now being deconstructed to encompass less stringent rules that govern its initiation, actual effector activity, and ambivalent results. Expanding the repertoire of innate immunity found in all invertebrates has greatly facilitated the relaxation of ...

The Quest for Antibodies and Other Acquired Immune Receptors: A Historical Perspective

open access: yesInternational Journal of Immunogenetics, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 125-134, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The diversity of antibody molecules has for decades been an unsolved enigma that has attracted wide interest among biologists. Parallel to the accumulation of experimental evidence, progress in antibody research was also driven by the theoretical debate that played a particularly prominent role, at least until the entry of molecular biology ...
