molecular antibody
1Molecular mimicry — is defined as the theoretical possibility that sequence similarities between foreign and self peptides are sufficient to result in the cross activation of autoreactive T or B cells by pathogen derived peptides. Despite the promiscuity of several… …
2Molecular biology — (pronounced /məˈlɛkjʊlər .../) is the branch of biology that deals with the molecular basis of biological activity. This field overlaps with other areas of biology and chemistry, particularly genetics and biochemistry. Molecular biology… …
3Molecular cloning — refers to a set of experimental methods in molecular biology that are used to assemble recombinant DNA molecules and to direct their replication within host organisms.[1] The use of the word cloning refers to the fact that the method involves the …
4Antibody — An ti*bod y ([a^]n t[i^]*b[o^]d [y^]), n. 1. (Med., Physiol. Chem.) Any of various bodies or substances in the blood which act in antagonism to harmful foreign bodies, as toxins or the bacteria producing the toxins. Normal blood serum apparently… …
5Molecular recognition — Crystal structure of a short peptide L Lys D Ala D Ala (bacterial cell wall precursor) bound to the antibiotic vancomycin through hydrogen bonds[1] …
6Molecular imprinted polymer — A Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (MIP), or plastic antibody is a polymer that is formed in the presence of a molecule that is extracted afterwards, thus leaving complementary cavities behind. These polymers show a certain chemical affinity for the …
7antibody structure — Describes the molecular architecture of an antibody, which consists of two identical light chains and two identical heavy chains and has two antigen binding sites. Each chain consists of a constant region which is the same between antibodies of… …
8antibody — An immunoglobulin molecule produced by B lymphoid cells with a specific amino acid sequence evoked in humans or other animals by an antigen (immunogen). These molecules are characterized by reacting specifically with the antigen in some… …
9antibody — noun Date: 1900 any of a large number of proteins of high molecular weight that are produced normally by specialized B cells after stimulation by an antigen and act specifically against the antigen in an immune response, that are produced… …
10Laboratory of Molecular Biology — The Laboratory of Molecular Biology (or LMB) is a research institute in Cambridge, England, which was at the forefront of the revolution in molecular biology which occurred in the 1950 60s, since then it remains a major medical research… …
