An analysis of antibodies extracted from 800-year-old teeth has provided a new way to identify pathogens our ancestors contended with.
The process could potentially help us understand how human antibodies – proteins naturally produced by our bodies in self-defense – have developed through history.
Building on previous research, a team led by researchers from the University of Nottingham and University College London (UCL) in the UK conducted a process called affinity purification to identify molecules through the way they bind to other molecules.
These kinds of bindings are a crucial part of how the human immune system works, and they can help researchers retroactively identify antibodies and what they were designed to fight against.

Viking artefact unearthed by metal detectorist to be sold at auction

“I returned to the area where the coins were found and got a loud signal, and at a depth of just two inches found an unusual bronze object,” he said.
“Lisa came over and was speechless when she saw it.
