Lung immunity is essential to combat all pulmonary diseases, including COVID-19, pneumonia, lung cancer, asthma, and COPD. Lung immunity differs from the systemic immunity which is the normal focus of ...

Understanding how major histocompatibility complex class (MHC) molecules and peptides interact within the immune system is crucial for the advancement of biological sciences and medicine. A better ...

Major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) molecules play a critical, yet historically overlooked, role in tumor immunity. This review synthesizes emerging mechanistic evidence showing that ...

Recent analyses show that Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2 more strongly suppress major histocompatibility complex class I expression than previous versions of the virus. Throughout the pandemic, the ...

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 recent years, the increase in knowledge about the functioning of the immune system has revealed not only its importance in the defense against external agents such as pathogens or toxins, but also ...

In a recent study published in Science Advances, researchers presented a deep learning framework, termed DeepAIR, to accurately predict adaptive immune receptor (AIR)-antigen binding by integrating ...
