Monoclonal anti-envelope antibody AP33 protects humanized mice against a patient-derived hepatitis C virus challenge [PDF]
End-stage liver disease caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major indication for liver transplantation. However, immediately after transplantation the liver graft of viremic patients universally becomes infected by circulating virus ...

Kinetic Analysis of Monoclonal Antibody Binding to HIV-1 gp120-derived Hyperglycosylated Cores
Kinetic analysis of antibodies is one of the important studies for characterization of antibodies and screening of ligands. In our recent study (Ingale et al., 2014), we compared the antigenic profiles and binding characteristics of four HIV-1 envelope ...

HIV-1 Envelope and MPER Antibody Structures in Lipid Assemblies
Summary: Structural and functional studies of HIV envelope glycoprotein (Env) as a transmembrane protein have long been complicated by challenges associated with inherent flexibility of the molecule and the membrane-embedded hydrophobic regions. Here, we

Neutralizing antiviral antibody responses
Neutralizing antibodies are evolutionarily important effectors of immunity against viruses. Their evaluation has revealed a number of basic insights into specificity, rules of reactivity (tolerance), and memory—namely, (1) Specificity of neutralizing antibodies is defined by their capacity to distinguish between virus serotypes; (2) B cell reactivity ...

Neutralizing antibodies against coronaviruses [PDF]
Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 are being used as therapeutics against COVID-19. The Bjorkman laboratory is investigating the mechanisms of virus neutralization by human antibodies that bind the SARSCoV- 2 spike protein. Using structural techniques, including single-particle cryoelectron microscopy and X-ray crystallography, the ...
