Viral Persistence Induces Antibody Inflation without Altering Antibody Avidity [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2016
ABSTRACT Antibodies are implicated in long-term immunity against numerous pathogens, and because of this property, antibody induction is the basis for many vaccines. Little is known about the influence of viral persistence on the evolving antibody response. Here, we examined the characteristics of antibody responses to persistent

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Humoral and Mucosal Antibody Response to RSV Structural Proteins in RSV-Infected Adult Hematopoietic Cell Transplant (HCT) Recipients

Viruses, 2021
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an important cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants, the elderly, and immunocompromised patients. RSV antibodies play a role in preventing reinfection and in clearance of RSV, but data regarding the ...
