Antibodies

Two linear peptides identified by A*STAR researchers on the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein may improve the specificity of serological assays and show potential as vaccine candidates.

A better understanding of the way sugar units are attached to the surface proteins of cancer cells may help to improve targeted cancer treatments, A*STAR scientists say.
