Scientists discover how strep bacterium hides from the immune system
Produced by Group A Streptococcus, researchers have discovered the S protein, which binds to the red blood cell membrane to avoid being destroyed by immune cells and could be a target for anti-virulence drugs.
news
Researchers must not rely on generic online searches for chemical probes, study finds
The ICR has revealed that during drug discovery, researchers should not use general search engines and vendor catalogue information to decide on their use of chemical probes.
news
Protein tag developed to aid in study of the immune system
A novel approach to better understand a basic defence mechanism of the immune system has been developed using the ISG15 protein which could lead to novel antimicrobial drugs.
