SARS-CoV-2 RBD antibodies that maximize breadth and resistance to escape
An ideal therapeutic anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody would resist viral escape1–3, have activity against diverse sarbecoviruses4–7, and be highly protective through viral neutralization8–11 and effector functions12,13.

No association between islet cell antibodies and coxsackie B, mumps, rubella and cytomegalovirus antibodies in non-diabetic individuals aged 7–19 years [PDF]
Viral antibodies were tested in a cohort of 44 isletcell antibody-positive individuals age 7–19 years, and 44 of their islet cell antibody-negative age and sex-matched classmates selected from a population study of 4208 pupils who had been screened for ...

Isotype specific ELISAs to detect antibodies against swine vesicular disease virus and their use in epidemiology [PDF]
Isotype specific ELISAs to detect antibodies against swine vesicular disease, which may help to estimate the moment of infection, were developed and validated on sera from pigs experimentally infected with four different isolates of swine vesicular ...

Anti-phospholipid-antibodies in patients with relapsing polychondritis [PDF]
Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is an extremly rare multisystemic disease thought to be of autoimmune origin. In order to assess if RP is associated with anti-phospholipid antibodies (aPL), clinical data and sera of 21 patients with RP were collected in a ...

Human monoclonal antibodies to a novel cluster of conformational epitopes on HCV E2 with resistance to neutralization escape in a genotype 2a isolate [PDF]
The majority of broadly neutralizing antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCV) are against conformational epitopes on the E2 glycoprotein. Many of them recognize overlapping epitopes in a cluster, designated as antigenic domain B, that contains residues G530

An antibody defense against COVID-19 One of the responses of the immune system to invading viruses is the production of antibodies. Some of these are neutralizing, meaning that they prevent the virus from being infectious, and can thus be used to treat ...

Anti-NMDA-receptor encephalitis: case series and analysis of the effects of antibodies
Summary Background A severe form of encephalitis associated with antibodies against NR1–NR2 heteromers of the NMDA receptor was recently identified. We aimed to analyse the clinical and immunological features of patients with the disorder and examine the

Mapping mutations to the SARS-CoV-2 RBD that escape binding by different classes of antibodies
Monoclonal antibodies targeting a variety of epitopes have been isolated from individuals previously infected with SARS-CoV-2, but the relative contributions of these different antibody classes to the polyclonal response remains unclear.
