Researchers at The Rockefeller University have shown that a therapeutic approach harnessing proteins from the human immune system can suppress HIV in mice without the need for daily application and could one day be used in humans to treat the disease.
A team of researchers from North Carolina State University and the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) has found more evidence for the preservation of ancient dinosaur proteins, including reactivity to antibodies that target specific proteins normally found in bone cells of vertebrates.
Problem: Poor quality antibodies are a major stumbling block for scientists detecting new protein targets in immunological applications. The prevalence of such antibodies is significant; reactions to recent, high-profile retractions of several
