INFOGRAPHICS : The Antibody Revolution in Neuroscience Infographic

DESCRIPTION : Checkout “The Antibody Revolution in Neuroscience” Infographic by technologynetworks.com. Download and go through this infographic to know about the revolution of antibodies in neuroscience research. From cancer immunotherapy to fighting viruses, the adaptation of the body’s immune system to serve science has been a huge source of innovation across biology. The use of immune molecules called antibodies in neuroscience research is another example of this revolution in action. This infographic reviews how antibodies are used in neuroscience, why they are essential for modern research and how improvements in antibody use can help forge a robust, reproducible future for neuroscience. Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins that perform essential roles in the vertebrate immune system. Their role in the immune response is to precisely identify intrusive molecules called antigens, which could be present on viruses, bacteria or even constituent cells of the host’s own body. Once the antigen has been identified, the antibody binds to a region of the antigen called the epitope, likened to a “lock and key” mechanism.
