Characterization of the naive murine antibody repertoire using unamplified high-throughput sequencing. [PDF]
Antibody specificity and diversity are generated through the enzymatic splicing of genomic gene segments within each B cell. Antibodies are heterodimers of heavy- and light-chains encoded on separate loci.

Polymicrobial periodontal disease triggers a wide radius of effect and unique virome. [PDF]
Periodontal disease is a microbially-mediated inflammatory disease of tooth-supporting tissues that leads to bone and tissue loss around teeth. Although bacterially-mediated mechanisms of alveolar bone destruction have been widely studied, the effects of

Immunogens and Antigen Processing: Report from a Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise Working Group [PDF]
The Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise convened a meeting of a Working Group in July 2009 to discuss recent progress in rational design of the components of an HIV vaccine, such as inserts, vectors and adjuvants,and in understanding antigen processing and ...

The adaptive immune system recognizes antigens via an immense array of antigen-binding antibodies and T-cell receptors, the immune repertoire. The interrogation of immune repertoires is of high relevance for understanding the adaptive immune response in ...

Rectal Microbiome Composition Correlates with Humoral Immunity to HIV-1 in Vaccinated Rhesus Macaques. [PDF]
The microbiome is an integral and dynamic component of the host and is emerging as a critical determinant of immune responses; however, its influence on vaccine immunogenicity is largely not well understood.

Insights into next generation sequencing guided antibody selection strategies
Therapeutic antibody discovery often relies on in-vitro display methods to identify lead candidates. Assessing selected output diversity traditionally involves random colony picking and Sanger sequencing, which has limitations. Next-generation sequencing

Human leukocyte antigen class II gene diversity tunes antibody repertoires to common pathogens
Allelic diversity of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II genes may help maintain humoral immunity against infectious diseases. In this study, we investigated germline genetic variation in classical HLA class II genes and employed a systematic ...

Functional diversity of chemokines and chemokine receptors in response to viral infection of the central nervous system. [PDF]
Encounters with neurotropic viruses result in varied outcomes ranging from encephalitis, paralytic poliomyelitis or other serious consequences to relatively benign infection.
