Lower prevalence of antibodies neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 in group O French blood donors. [PDF]
We investigated the distribution of antibodies neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 according to age, sex or blood group in French blood donors. In 464 samples collected before the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 (2017 and 2018), our virus neutralization assay had a 100 ...

Human antibodies neutralizing diphtheria toxin in vitro and in vivo. [PDF]
Diphtheria is an infectious disease caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. The bacterium primarily infects the throat and upper airways and the produced diphtheria toxin (DT), which binds to the elongation factor 2 and blocks protein synthesis, can ...

Cooperativity Enables Non-neutralizing Antibodies to Neutralize Ebolavirus [PDF]
Summary: Drug combinations are synergistic when their combined efficacy exceeds the sum of the individual actions, but they rarely include ineffective drugs that become effective only in combination. We identified several “enabling pairs” of neutralizing

Lack of protection following passive transfer of polyclonal highly functional low-dose non-neutralizing antibodies. [PDF]
Recent immune correlates analysis from the RV144 vaccine trial has renewed interest in the role of non-neutralizing antibodies in mediating protection from infection.

SARS-CoV-2 fusion-peptide-directed antibodies are elicited by natural infection and can mediate broad sarbecovirus neutralization [PDF]
Summary: Studies have demonstrated that repeated mRNA vaccination enhances the breadth of neutralization against diverse severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants. However, the development of antibodies capable of neutralizing

The Potent and Broadly Neutralizing Human Dengue Virus-Specific Monoclonal Antibody 1C19 Reveals a Unique Cross-Reactive Epitope on the bc Loop of Domain II of the Envelope Protein [PDF]
Following natural dengue virus (DENV) infection, humans produce some antibodies that recognize only the serotype of infection (type specific) and others that cross-react with all four serotypes (cross-reactive).

Omicron escapes the majority of existing SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies
The SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.529 (Omicron) variant contains 15 mutations of the receptor-binding domain (RBD). How Omicron evades RBD-targeted neutralizing antibodies requires immediate investigation.
