Functional stability of HIV-1 envelope trimer affects accessibility to broadly neutralizing antibodies at its apex [PDF]
The trimeric envelope glycoprotein spike (Env) of HIV-1 is the target of vaccine development to elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). Env trimer instability and heterogeneity in principle make subunit interfaces inconsistent targets for the ...

Isolation of Neutralizing Antibody
Use of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) is an established laboratory strategy for characterization of specific pathogens and their antigenicity. Especially, Human MAbs (HuMAbs) with neutralizing activity against specific virus could have potential therapeutic application, and provide significant information on human epitopes that could be important for ...

Cross-reactive broadly neutralizing antibodies: timing is everything
The recent surge of research into new broadly neutralizing antibodies in HIV-1 infection has recharged the field of HIV-1 vaccinology. In this review we discuss the currently known broadly neutralizing antibodies and focus on factors that may shape these

Antibody and Virus: Binding and Neutralization
During infection with an enveloped virus, antibodiesare elicited to envelope proteins. Some of these antibod-ies bind to envelope spikes on the virion, some bind tononvirion forms of the envelope (“viral debris”), and somebind to both. The relative amounts of different antibodytypes elicited varies from virus to virus.

ZIKV Envelope Domain-Specific Antibodies: Production, Purification and Characterization
Infection with Zika virus (ZIKV) came first to public attention after it was found to be associated with congenital microcephaly during the outbreak in Brazil (2015–2016). Diagnosis of ZIKV suffers from extensive cross-reactivity with other Flaviviruses,
