Direct Observation of Long-Chain Branches in a Low-Density Polyethylene

The properties of a polymer change significantly depending on the structure of the polymer chain, particularly, with branched structures, depending on the number of branches and the length of the branch.* However, the long-chain branch (LCB) structure of polyethylene was unclear, due particularly to the complex polymer structure and the limitations of its analysis methods. … Continue reading Direct Observation of Long-Chain Branches in a Low-Density Polyethylene

IgA tetramerization improves target breadth but not peak potency of functionality of anti-influenza virus broadly neutralizing antibody

Mucosal immunoglobulins comprise mainly secretory IgA antibodies (SIgAs), which are the major contributor to pathogen-specific immune responses in mucosal tissues. SIgAs exist as mainly dimers and tetramers and play critical roles in mucosal immune responses against influenza.* Detailed characterization of these anti-viral SIgA is important for better understanding of the mechanisms underlying anti-viral immunity.* In … Continue reading IgA tetramerization improves target breadth but not peak potency of functionality of anti-influenza virus broadly neutralizing antibody
