medical illustration of IgM antibody binding a CD20 receptor expressed on a B cancer cell and a CD3 receptor expressed on a T cell
medical illustration of A model of the surface of a SARS-CoV-2 virion showing SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins with one open RBD or all closed RDBs based on PDB ID 6VYB and 6VXX, respectively. The antibodies shown include IgGs (PDB ID 1IGT) crosslinking two spikes and an IgM (based on PDB ID 2RCJ) binding to multiple spikes. Also depicted is a domain antibody trimeric VHH-Fc fusion protein (based on PDB IDs 6ZXN and 1IGT) cross-linking spikes and individual VHHs (PDB ID 6ZXN) binding to RBDs with no cross-linking ability.
medical illustration of Macrophages attacking S. pneumoniae in pulmonary alveoli
medical illustration of Proposed innate immunity mechanism of action for anti-CD47 antibodies.  Blocking the 
CD47/SIRP-a “don’t eat me” signal between tumor cells and antigen-presenting phagocytic cells (APCs) results in phagocytosis of the tumor cell and cross-presentation of antigens derived from the tumor cell via MHC class I to  T cells, which then are induced to produce apoptotic factors that can kill tumor cells directly.
medical illustration of Three signals dominate the
medical illustration of SIRP-a, which is on the surface of phagocytes, normally binds CD47 on the surface of normal and tumor cells as a signal to prevent phagocytosis (often referred to as the “don’t eat me” signal).  Blocking the CD47/SIRP-a interaction with a monoclonal antibody can result in a pro-phagocytic response (i.e., the cancer cells can become phagocytized).
medical illustration of Antagonist IgG antibody binding to the immuno-oncology checkpoint target, PD-1, to reinvigorate exhausted T cells
medical illustration of IgG Antibody
medical illustration of Artistic representation of antibodies coming in for a landing and binding to receptors on the surface of a B cell
medical illustration of Dentate Pyramidal Basket Cell and Granule Cells
medical illustration of Vagus nerve recording with CorTec cuff electrode in a mouse
