Viral escape from HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies drives increased plasma neutralization breadth through sequential recognition of multiple epitopes and immunotypes. [PDF]
Identifying the targets of broadly neutralizing antibodies to HIV-1 and understanding how these antibodies develop remain important goals in the quest to rationally develop an HIV-1 vaccine.

Immune characterization of a Colombian family cluster with SARS-CoV-2 infection
Introduction: Immunological markers have been described during COVID-19 and persist after recovery. These immune markers are associated with clinical features among SARSCoV-2 infected individuals.

Raman spectroscopic analysis of highly-concentrated antibodies under the acid-treated conditions [PDF]
Antibody drugs are usually formulated as highly-concentrated solutions, which would easily generate oligomer and aggregation, resulting in loss of efficacy. Although low pH increases the colloidal dispersion of antibodies, acid denaturation can be an issue.

Reprogramming Pretrained Language Models for Antibody Sequence Infilling [PDF]
Antibodies comprise the most versatile class of binding molecules, with numerous applications in biomedicine. Computational design of antibodies involves generating novel and diverse sequences, while maintaining structural consistency. Unique to antibodies, designing the complementarity-determining region (CDR), which determines the antigen binding ...

Engineered gp120 immunogens that elicit VRC01-like antibodies by vaccination [PDF]
Background: One of the great challenges for an HIV vaccine is to elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies specific for conserved epitopes from which the virus cannot easily escape.

A gp41 MPER-specific llama VHH requires a hydrophobic CDR3 for neutralization but not for antigen recognition [PDF]
The membrane proximal external region (MPER) of the HIV-1 glycoprotein gp41 is targeted by the broadly neutralizing antibodies 2F5 and 4E10. To date, no immunization regimen in animals or humans has produced HIV-1 neutralizing MPER-specific antibodies ...

NEUTRALIZING ANTIBODIES IN ABORTIVE POLIOMYELITIS [PDF]
The neutralizing antibody content for poliomyelitis virus has been tested with both a human and a passage strain of the virus in serial samples of sera from five mild cases of abortive poliomyelitis, and an increase in this antibody content has been demonstrated in convalescent samples obtained within 4 weeks of the acute illness.
