Flexible targets help immune system make finely-tuned antibodies. – Brinkwire

An in-depth Garvan study of how the immune system generates effective antibodies provides new insights for vaccine design.
Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have uncovered a key strategy the immune system uses to generate effective antibodies, which could inform vaccine design for some of the most challenging viruses.
In experimental models, the researchers discovered that the immune system mutated its B cells to generate more finely-tuned antibodies when the targets for …
