Comparing Antibody Interfaces to Inform Rational Design of New Antibody Formats
As the current biotherapeutic market is dominated by antibodies, the design of different antibody formats, like bispecific antibodies and other new formats, represent a key component in advancing antibody therapy.

Optimisation and validation of a PCR for Antigen Receptor Rearrangement (PARR) assay to detect clonality in canine lymphoid malignancies [PDF]
PCR for antigen receptor gene rearrangements (PARR) analysis is being increasingly used to assist diagnosis of canine lymphoma. In this study, PARR was carried out on consecutive samples received as part of routine diagnostic practice from 271 patients ...

A Comprehensive Comparative Study of Word and Sentence Similarity Measures [PDF]
Sentence similarity is considered the basis of many natural language tasks such as information retrieval, question answering and text summarization. The semantic meaning between compared text fragments is based on the words semantic features and their relationships.

The Human Cytomegalovirus Fc Receptor gp68 Binds the Fc CH2-CH3 Interface of Immunoglobulin G [PDF]
Recognition of immunoglobulin G (IgG) by surface receptors for the Fc domain of immunoglobulin G (Fc{gamma}), Fc{gamma}Rs, can trigger both humoral and cellular immune responses.

Structure of FcRY, an avian immunoglobulin receptor related to mammalian mannose receptors, and its complex with IgY [PDF]
Fc receptors transport maternal antibodies across epithelial cell barriers to passively immunize newborns. FcRY, the functional counterpart of mammalian FcRn (a major histocompatibility complex homolog), transfers IgY across the avian yolk sac, and ...

The Solution Structures of Two Human IgG1 Antibodies Show Conformational Stability and Accommodate Their C1q and FcγR Ligands. [PDF]
The human IgG1 antibody subclass shows distinct properties compared with the IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 subclasses and is the most exploited subclass in therapeutic antibodies. It is the most abundant subclass, has a half-life as long as that of IgG2 and IgG4,

Bacterial Proteins and Their Proposed Interactions with Fc or Fab Fragments of Immunoglobulins
The reactivity of Immunoglobulin Binding Proteins (IBP) to Fc and/or Fab fragments of immunoglobulins was summarized in this review. Staphylococcal protein A (SpA), Streptococcal protein G and Peptostreptococcal protein L (SpL) were the IBP reported. SpA reacted with IgG from skunk, coyote, raccoon, mule and donkey.

our findings robustly demonstrate that our constructed prlncRNA signature could serve as an efficient indicator of prognosis, immunotherapy response, and chemosensitivity for HNSCC patients. Abstract Background Pyroptosis plays an essential function in carcinogenesis and the antitumor immune response.
