IgG molecules are crucial for the human immune response against bacterial infections. IgGs can trigger phagocytosis by innate immune cells, like neutrophils. To do so, IgGs should bind to the bacteria...
Islet transplantation is regarded as the most promising therapy for type 1 diabetes. However, both hypoxia and immune attack impair the grafted islets after transplantation, eventually failing the isl...
Serological assays detecting IgM antibodies in addition to IgG antibodies have a diagnostic advantage in finding early infections. Staphylococcal protein A (SpA), widely used as an antibody-detecting ...
Fine-tuning of protein-protein interactions occurs naturally through coevolution, but this process is difficult to recapitulate in the laboratory. We describe a platform for synthetic protein-protein ...
pH regulates protein structures and the associated functions in many biological processes via protonation and deprotonation of ionizable side chains where the titration equilibria are determined by p...
Recent development in Protein A chromatography has adopted wash buffers with a wide range of pH to improve the removal of process-related impurities, e.g., host cell proteins (HCPs), from Fc-based tar...
To better understand how amino acid sequence encodes protein structure, we engineered mutational pathways that connect three common folds (3α, β-grasp, and α/β-plait). The structures of proteins at hi...
In this retrospective cohort study, we explored the correlation of blood human myxovirus resistance protein A (MxA) level with severity of disease in hospitalized COVID-19 patients....
All 304 patients admitted for COVID-19 in our hospital until 30th of April 2021 were included in this study. MxA was measured from peripheral blood samples in 268 cases. Patients were divided into gro...
Higher MxA levels on admission were associated with a shorter duration of symptoms before admission, and with more severe disease. Adjusted Odds Ratios for any respiratory support were 9.92 (95%CI 2.1...
Higher initial levels of MxA were associated with more severe COVID-19. MxA may be a helpful additional biomarker to predict the severity of the disease....
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are used extensively as biotherapeutics for chronic and acute conditions. Production of mAbs is lengthy and expensive, with protein A affinity capture the most costly step...
