Christopher Lee, DVM, MPH, DACVPM, explains why early detection and enhanced biosecurity are essential for mitigating the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza ...

The immune system responds to an infection by producing antibodies that recognize and bind to the cell surface of the pathogen, thus marking it as an intruder and triggering an immune response.

The transporters associated with antigen processing (TAPs) allow antigenic peptides that have been generated in the cytosol to be transported into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER ...

Every now and then, the virus changes dramatically in a process called antigenic shift. When this occurs, people become even ...

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 ...
