Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection may elicit neutralizing antibodies targeting epitopes conserved in all viral genotypes [PDF]
Anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) cross-neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies, directed against conserved epitopes on surface E2 glycoprotein, are central tools for understanding virus-host interplay, and for planning strategies for prevention and ...

Functional stability of HIV-1 envelope trimer affects accessibility to broadly neutralizing antibodies at its apex [PDF]
The trimeric envelope glycoprotein spike (Env) of HIV-1 is the target of vaccine development to elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). Env trimer instability and heterogeneity in principle make subunit interfaces inconsistent targets for the ...

Isolation of Neutralizing Antibody
Use of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) is an established laboratory strategy for characterization of specific pathogens and their antigenicity. Especially, Human MAbs (HuMAbs) with neutralizing activity against specific virus could have potential therapeutic application, and provide significant information on human epitopes that could be important for ...
