Antibodies are Y-shaped glycoproteins that play an important role in the immune system. Antibodies respond to foreign molecules entering the body, binding to and disabling these potential intruders.
Modern neuroscience has readily co-opted the unique biological features of the antibody for several purposes. In this infographic, we’ll explore several key uses for antibodies in neuroscience, including:
- Visualization using antibodies
- Quantification tools utilizing antibodies
-
Therapeutic applications of antibodies
