Highly mutated antibodies capable of neutralizing N276 glycan-deficient HIV after a single immunization with an Env trimer [PDF]

open access: goldCell Reports, 2022
Summary: Elicitation of HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) is challenging because unmutated bnAb precursors are rare and seldom bind HIV envelope glycoprotein (Env) trimers.

Cooperativity Enables Non-neutralizing Antibodies to Neutralize Ebolavirus [PDF]

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Summary: Drug combinations are synergistic when their combined efficacy exceeds the sum of the individual actions, but they rarely include ineffective drugs that become effective only in combination. We identified several “enabling pairs” of neutralizing

Engineering SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies for increased potency and reduced viral escape pathways

open access: yesiScience, 2022
Summary: The rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants poses a constant threat of escape from monoclonal antibody and vaccine countermeasures. Mutations in the ACE2 receptor binding site on the surface S protein have been shown to disrupt antibody binding and ...

Molecular insights into antibody-mediated protection against the prototypic simian immunodeficiency virus

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
SIVmac239 infection of macaques is a favored model of human HIV infection, but antibody-mediated protection for SIVmac239 is insufficiently understood.

The diversity of the glycan shield of sarbecoviruses related to SARS-CoV-2

open access: yesCell Reports, 2023
Summary: Animal reservoirs of sarbecoviruses represent a significant risk of emergent pandemics, as evidenced by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic.

Cleavage-Independent HIV-1 Env Trimers Engineered as Soluble Native Spike Mimetics for Vaccine Design

open access: yesCell Reports, 2015
Viral glycoproteins mediate entry by pH-activated or receptor-engaged activation and exist in metastable pre-fusogenic states that may be stabilized by directed rational design. As recently reported, the conformationally fixed HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein

Efficient isolation of rare B cells using next-generation antigen barcoding

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
The ability to efficiently isolate antigen-specific B cells in high throughput will greatly accelerate the discovery of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and catalyze rational vaccine development.

Holes in the Glycan Shield of the Native HIV Envelope Are a Target of Trimer-Elicited Neutralizing Antibodies

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
A major advance in the search for an HIV vaccine has been the development of a near-native Envelope trimer (BG505 SOSIP.664) that can induce robust autologous Tier 2 neutralization.

Glutaraldehyde Cross-linking of HIV-1 Env Trimers Skews the Antibody Subclass Response in Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
Well-ordered soluble HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env) spike mimetics such as Native Flexibly Linked (NFL) trimers display high homogeneity, desired antigenicity, and high in vitro stability compared to previous generation soluble HIV-1 Env trimers ...

Structure of a cleavage-independent HIV Env recapitulates the glycoprotein architecture of the native cleaved trimer

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Native-like soluble HIV envelope (Env) trimers are potential vaccine immunogens, and elimination of furin-dependence could provide a DNA-based alternative. Here, Sarkar et al.
