B Cells Expressing a Natural Polyreactive Autoantibody Have a Distinct Phenotype and Are Overrepresented in Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Transgenic Mice [PDF]
Abstract Despite stringent regulation of disease-associated autoantibodies, a substantial proportion of circulating Abs in sera of healthy individuals exhibit self-reactivity. These Abs are referred to as naturally occurring or natural autoantibodies (NAAs).

The G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily consists of the most common targets of approved drugs. Targeting GPCRs offers appealing avenues for therapeutic development. Antibodies and their fragments, such as single‐domain antibodies (VHHs or nanobodies), have emerged as useful alternatives to small molecule pharmacophores as building blocks in ...

Immunoglobulins with non-canonical functions in inflammatory and autoimmune disease states
Immunoglobulins are known to combine various effector mechanisms of the adaptive and the innate immune system. Classical immunoglobulin functions are associated with antigen recognition and the initiation of innate immune responses.

Counteracting Influenza Virus Evolution Through the Full Spectrum of Broadly Protective Antibodies
ABSTRACT Despite the presence of licensed vaccines and therapeutics, influenza viruses remain a major public health concern, as they cause seasonal respiratory infections and pose a pandemic threat through the emergence of zoonotic strains. Although neutralizing antibodies elicited by seasonal vaccination constitute a primary defense against infection,

The Influenza‐Specific Immunoglobulin Repertoire – Nimble Yet Steeped in Tradition
ABSTRACT Influenza virus has circulated in the human population and co‐evolved with us for centuries or longer, shaping our immune repertoires through a continuous host–virus arms race. Across individuals, antibodies repeatedly converge on shared solutions for capturing this shape‐shifting virus by precisely targeting conserved sites of vulnerability ...

Complement Factor H‐Based Therapeutics: A Comprehensive Overview
Complement factor H is a central regulator of the complement system and thus a target for therapeutic intervention. In this review, we provide an overview of past and current factor H‐based therapeutic concepts and modalities to treat complement‐mediated diseases.

Analysis of the structural correlates for antibody polyreactivity by multiple reassortments of chimeric human immunoglobulin heavy and light chain V segments. [PDF]
Polyreactive antibodies (Abs) constitute a major proportion of the early Ab repertoire and are an important component of the natural defense mechanisms against infections. They are primarily immunoglobulin M (IgM) and bind a variety of structurally dissimilar self and exogenous antigens (Ags) with moderate affinity.

ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that causes respiratory infections, posing a serious threat, particularly to infants, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems. As the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in infants, RSV is responsible for millions of cases worldwide each year.

Common idiotypes expressed on human, monoclonal, abnormal immunoglobulins and cryoglobulins with polyreaetive autoantibody activities [PDF]
SUMMARYSeveral hutiian monoclonal immunoglobtilins with the same auloatitibody activity have been shown to have cross-reactive idiotypes (CRI). In this study, using polyclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies, we fotind that 28% of hutnan monoclonal immunoglobulins with polyreaetive autoantibody activity from myeloma.
