FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We first identified functional murine mitochondrial N‐formyl peptides (MT‐FPs) and investigated their effects on the in vitro myeloid‐derived suppressor cell (MDSC) generation from bone marrow cells. We demonstrated that MT‐FPs acted directly on bone marrow cells to promote MDSC generation and modulated the polymorphonuclear (PMN)‐MDSC/monocyte (M ...

Human antibody repertoire frequently includes antibodies to a bacterial biofilm associated protein.
PLoS ONE, 2019 We have previously described a native human monoclonal antibody, TRL1068, that disrupts bacterial biofilms by extracting from the biofilm matrix key scaffolding proteins in the DNABII family, which are present in both gram positive and gram negative ...

Functional assays to screen and select monoclonal antibodies that target Yersinia pestis
Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2023 Yersinia pestis is a gram-negative bacterium that causes plague in animals and humans. Depending on the route of disease transmission, the bacterium can cause an acute, often fatal disease that has a narrow window for treatment with antibiotics ...

Screening and epitope characterization of Nidogen‐2‐specific nanobodies
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Camel immunization and phage display were employed to generate high‐affinity VHH nanobodies against Nidogen‐2. After library construction, biopanning, ELISA screening, sequencing, and recombinant expression, selected nanobodies were purified and characterized, leading to the preliminary exploration of a nanobody‐based sandwich ELISA for specific ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This study explores the feasibility of expressing the antitumoral protein Amblyomin‐X through a suicide gene therapy approach and investigates its intracellular fate after gene delivery. Although the gene is efficiently expressed, melanoma cells rapidly degrade the Amblyomin‐X protein via proteasome activity.

Anti-platelet factor 4/polyanion antibodies mediate a new mechanism of autoimmunity
Nature Communications, 2017 Antibodies against the platelet factor 4 (PF4) support bacterial host defence but in some cases may lead to heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT).

Monoclonal Antibodies as an Antibacterial Approach Against Bacterial Pathogens
Antibiotics, 2020 In the beginning of the 21st century, the frequency of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has reached an apex, where even 4th and 5th generation antibiotics are becoming useless in clinical settings.

Respiratory antiviral immunity and immunobiotics: Beneficial effects on inflammation-coagulation interaction during influenza virus infection [PDF]
, 2016 Influenza virus (IFV) is a major respiratory pathogen of global importance, and the cause of a high degree of morbidity and mortality, especially in high-risk populations such as infants, elderly, and immunocompromised hosts.

Rapid screening of staphylokinase protein variants using an unpurified cell‐free expression system
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.An unpurified cell‐free protein synthesis (CFPS) platform enables rapid functional screening of staphylokinase variants. Direct plasminogen‐activation assays performed in microplate format provide real‐time activity readouts, allowing rapid identification and ranking of variants with improved or reduced fibrinolytic activity without protein ...
