Fig. 4e In the co-culture experiment of RHBDD2-CKO HEK293T and U937, pre-treatment with CXCL12-neutralizing antibodies increased cleaved caspase-3-positive cells under cytarabine exposure for 48 h, which was similar to that observed when the cells were ...

Development of broadly neutralizing antibodies from autologous neutralizing antibody responses in HIV infection [PDF]
Detailed genetic and structural characterization has revealed that broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) against HIV-1 have unusually high levels of somatic hypermutation, long CDRH3 domains, and the ability to target one of four sites of vulnerability on the HIV-1 envelope (Env) glycoproteins.

Development of Germline-Humanized Antibodies Neutralizing Botulinum Neurotoxin A and B. [PDF]
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are counted among the most toxic substances known and are responsible for human botulism, a life-threatening disease characterized by flaccid muscle paralysis that occurs naturally by food poisoning or colonization of the ...

Evolution of cross-neutralizing antibody specificities to the CD4-BS and the carbohydrate cloak of the HIV Env in an HIV-1-infected subject. [PDF]
Broadly neutralizing antibodies are considered an important part of a successful HIV vaccine. A better understanding of the factors underlying their development during infection and of the epitopes they target is needed to elicit similar antibody ...

Comparison of fluorescent-antibody, neutralizing-antibody, and complement-enhanced neutralizing-antibody assays for detection of serum antibody to respiratory syncytial virus [PDF]
A comparison of three assays for the detection of serum antibody to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was carried out on 47 serum samples obtained sequentially from infants and young children with RSV infection. Neutralizing-antibody (NA) activity was determined by a semimicromethod of plaque reduction. Complement-enhanced NA activity was determined by

Antibodies Are Not Essential for the Resolution of Primary Cytomegalovirus Infection but Limit Dissemination of Recurrent Virus [PDF]
Virus shedding from the epithelial cells of the serous acini of salivary glands is a major source for the horizontal transmission of cytomegalovirus. These cells are, different to other tissues, exempt from CD8 T lymphocyte control. CD4 T lymphocytes are
