Strategy for modular assembly of tetravalent, multispecific antibodies
Abstract Multispecific, multivalent antibodies (Abs) are a burgeoning class of drugs that dramatically expand the pharmacological repertoire beyond traditional therapeutic Abs. Here, we present a simple, modular approach to developing multispecific, multivalent Abs based on a Fab‐phage library with a single light chain.

Polyreactive Autoantibodies Purified from Human Intravenous Immunoglobulins Prevent the Development of Experimental Autoimmune Diseases [PDF]
Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) are therapeutic preparations of normal human polyclonal Ig G (IgG) that exert immunomodulatory effects in patients with autoimmune or systemic inflammatory diseases. Two different IgG subfractions were evaluated for their respective immunomodulatory effects in the treatment of experimental autoimmune diseases: a ...

Recruitment of Rab27a to Phagosomes Controls Microbial Antigen Cross-Presentation by Dendritic Cells
Polyreactive immunoglobulins (Ig) and complement components are present in tissues and blood of healthy individuals. They facilitate pathogen uptake and inactivation in lysosomes of phagocytes and thereby provide rapid protection against infection ...

Activation of Anergic B Cells During Development of Autoimmunity
ABSTRACT In healthy individuals, autoreactive B cells are normally silenced via central and peripheral tolerance mechanisms. In the periphery, when autoreactive B cells recognize self‐antigen via their B cell receptor (BCR) (signal 1) but do not receive T cell help (signal 2), they undergo the tolerance mechanism called anergy.

Preparation and Characterization of Nano-size Polyreactive Blue MXR
Nanosize Polyreactive blue MXR dye was synthesized from reactive blue MXR dye in presence of potassium persulfate as catalyst. The formation of polyreactive blue MXR was indicated by colour change from blue to brown.

The gut microbiome can be conceptualized as a distributed organ‐like functional system with spatially structured organization, broad biochemical capacity, and continuous bidirectional communication with the host. By transforming dietary, host‐derived, and environmental substrates into bioactive metabolites with endocrine‐like, immunomodulatory, and ...

Human monoclonal islet specific autoantibodies share features of islet cell and 64 kDa antibodies [PDF]
The first human monoclonal islet cell antibodies of the IgG class (MICA 1-6) obtained from an individual with Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus were cytoplasmic islet cell antibodies selected by the indirect immunofluorescence test on pancreas

Role of polyreactive autoantibodies in the physiopathology of Sjögren’s Syndrome [PDF]
Programa de Doctorat en Biomedicina[eng] Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that mainly affects the exocrine glands and is characterized by the presence of antinuclear antibodies such as anti-Ro52 and anti-dsDNA.

Maternal and infant gut microbiome
The maternal–infant continuum involves critical windows of host–microbiota co‐adaptation. Preconception, maternal and paternal microbiomes modulate immunity and reproduction. During pregnancy, a gut–placenta axis emerges, where microbial metabolites influence fetal growth or contribute to complications like gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM ...

Initial antibodies binding to HIV-1 gp41 in acutely infected subjects are polyreactive and highly mutated [PDF]
The initial antibody response to HIV-1 is targeted to envelope (Env) gp41, and is nonneutralizing and ineffective in controlling viremia. To understand the origins and characteristics of gp41-binding antibodies produced shortly after HIV-1 transmission ...
