Histone deacetylase (HDAC) antibodies are used to study the process of histone deacetylation, an essential activity that happens within human cells. Image Credit: David A. Litman/Shutterstock.com Numerous assays currently exist that rely on the use of histone deacetylase (HDAC) antibodies to explore the proteins present within a biological sample and to view how they interact […]

J&J's one-dose covid vaccine safely triggers antibodies in all ages
Johnson & Johnson’s one-shot COVID-19 vaccine triggered antibodies that last at least 71 days ALL trial volunteers, early data reveals – amid fears the firm will NOT have 12 million doses for the US by February Johnson & Johnson’s one-dose COVID-19 vaccine triggered antibodies safely it works in 100% of people 18-55 and 65 or […]
Virus variant found in S. Africa may resist antibodies
Antibodies against the novel coronavirus may not work as well against a new variant of the virus identified in South Africa, early data suggest. Scientists recently raised concerns that the variant, known as 501.V2, may be resistant to COVID-19 vaccines, Live Science previously reported. Experts noted that the variant has accumulated a significant number of […]
A DVD-technology-based system that quickly and inexpensively detects SARS-CoV-2 antigens and specific antibodies
Researchers from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) have developed a new system at laboratory scale that allows the rapid, cheap and effective detection of COVID-19. The system consists of a biosensor based on DVD technologies that detects specific antibodies (G, M and A) and SARS-CoV-2 antigens in saliva or blood serum in less than […]
New serological assay provides rapid, accurate testing for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies
Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have developed a novel serological assay for the detection of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. Rebecca DuBois, associate professor of biomolecular engineering at UC Santa Cruz, said the new method her team developed is as accurate as the most reliable antibody tests currently available, but is less […]
Scientists identify synthetic mini-antibody to combat Covid-19
In breakthrough research, scientists have identified synthetic mini-antibodies to combat Covid-19. The ability of SARS-CoV-2 to infect cells depends on interactions between the viral spike protein and the human cell surface protein ACE2. To enable the virus to hook onto the cell surface, the spike protein binds ACE2 using three finger-like protrusions, called the receptor-binding […]
A new study suggests coronavirus antibodies fade over time, but how concerned should we be?
Newly released research suggests that levels of antibodies against the coronavirus have declined across the UK population since testing began. Having randomly sampled 365,000 people across the country, the React2 study—which is yet to be peer reviewed—estimates that 6% of the UK population had antibodies against the virus in late June, but that this had […]
New lab test clarifies the potential protective effects of COVID-19 antibodies
Knowing you have developed antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus after recovering from COVID-19 doesn’t tell you everything about your immunity. The levels and even types of antibodies can differ among patients, and those differences can influence whether a person is protected against being reinfected. Scientists at The Ohio State University have developed a new lab […]
