Auto-antibodies erroneously target their own proteins and enzymes. When these auto-antibodies target type 1 interferons, they can neutralize their function as signal proteins for the immune system.
New whole-blood assay for detecting immune autoantibodies promises to revolutionize diagnostics, offering rapid, cost-effective solutions to detect inborn errors of immunity and neutralizing ...
Recently, scientists found that some people who suffered from COVID-19 had auto-antibodies targeting their own type 1 interferons, which are important immune signaling proteins. Now, researchers ...
