A team of scientists from Australia has recently identified a frameshift deletion mutation in ORF7a of the delta variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The mutation ...

Interleukin-6 is potential target to de-couple checkpoint inhibitor-induced colitis from antitumor immunity. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2019 ASCO Annual Meeting I. This abstract does ...

In a new study, researchers describe a method for pinpointing tumor-specific factors in blood that can elicit a protective immune response in the body and may one day be harnessed to produce an ...

For more than a decade, scientist Stephen Albert Johnston and his team at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute have pooled their energies into an often scoffed-at, high-risk, high-reward ...

Beijing Zhongke Journal Publising Co. Ltd. This study is led by Professor Kabin Xie (Institute of Huazhong Agricultural University College of Plant Science and Technology, Wuhan, China).

In this paper we describe a reversion assay specific for the detection of -2 frameshift mutations occuring within short stretches of alternating GC sequences. We have compared a series of chemical ...

Neoantigens are peptides expressed on cancer cells that are generated from mutated genes, and can potentially be identified as foreign by the body’s immune system, which then triggers an attack ...
