Researchers develop method that aims to stabilize antibodies

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have developed a systematic **method** to improve the **stability** of **antibodies**. The technique could lead to better **biosensors**, disease **therapeutics** and **diagnostic** reagents and non-laboratory applications, including environmental remediation. Antibodies are proteins produced by humans and animals to defend against infections; they are also used to **diagnose** and **treat** some diseases and **detect** toxins and pathogens.
