Professor Nicolai Siegel is leader of the Molecular Parasitology research group (Chair of Experimental Parasitology, Department of Veterinary Sciences) at the Biomedical Center. A new study by LMU and ...
Researchers have developed a novel approach to analyzing malaria parasite genomes to reveal how antigenic variation arises. Researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory’s European ...
A new study by LMU and Helmholtz Munich shows how pathogens control changes in their cell surface to evade the immune system. The immune system responds to an infection by producing antibodies that ...
An antigen is any substance that can trigger an immune response in the body. Antigens are typically proteins or polysaccharides that are recognized as foreign or potentially harmful by the immune ...
In a recent study published in the journal Science, a group of researchers utilized antigenic cartography to study cross-reactivity patterns among severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS ...
New computational modeling of avian influenza variants' immunoprotein interactions—developed by a research team at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte—reveals the H5N1 influenza virus is ...
