VHH-Based Bispecific Antibodies Targeting Cytokine Production [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
Proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF, IL-6, and IL-1, play pathogenic roles in multiple diseases and are attractive targets for biologic drugs. Because proinflammatory cytokines possess non-redundant protective and immunoregulatory functions, their systemic neutralization carries the potential for unwanted side effects.

Structural Basis of MERS‐CoV Receptor Interactions and Antibody Neutralisations [PDF]

open access: yesRev Med Virol
ABSTRACT Increasing outbreaks of coronaviruses underscore the importance of antivirals and vaccines that can combat a wide range of coronaviruses. Neutralising antibodies (nAbs), along with vaccines and small‐molecule drugs, are among the most promising treatments and prevention options against coronaviruses.
