Neutralizing antibodies against coronaviruses [PDF]

Microscopy and Microanalysis, 2021
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 ...

Structure and immunogenicity of a stabilized HIV-1 envelope trimer based on a group-M consensus sequence

Nature Communications, 2019
Stabilized, native-like trimers of the HIV envelope protein, such as SOSIP trimers, are potential antigens for an HIV vaccine. Here, the authors generate a SOSIP trimer based on the consensus sequence of group M isolates, determine its structure and ...

Dengue virus neutralization in cells expressing Fc gamma receptors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Activating Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) in hematopoietic cells serve to remove antibody-opsonized antigens, including dengue virus (DENV), from systemic circulation. While neutralizing antibody concentrations provide humoral immunity, cross-reactive or sub-
