Measuring dengue enhancing antibodies: caveats.
To the Editor-Laoprasopwattana et al. [1] concluded that "levels of preillness plasma EA [enhancing activity] or DV [dengue virus] infection in K562 cells did not correlate with the clinical severity or viral burden of secondary DV infection" (p. 510). Sadly, serious flaws in their study's design and methodology preclude rigorous interpretation of these data. Nonetheless, the authors have ident...
متن کاملInfectivity-enhancing antibodies to Ebola virus glycoprotein.
Ebola virus causes severe hemorrhagic fever in primates, resulting in mortality rates of up to 100%, yet there are no satisfactory biologic explanations for this extreme virulence. Here we show that antisera produced by DNA immunization with a plasmid encoding the surface glycoprotein (GP) of the Zaire strain of Ebola virus enhances the infectivity of vesicular stomatitis virus pseudotyped with...
متن کاملNeutralization-Enhancing RF Antibodies for HIV Vaccines
Efficient neutralization of HIV is a primary goal both for therapeutic and prophylactic HIV vaccines based on induction of neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) (1, 2). Neutralization capacity of NAbs correlates with their affinity to HIV-1 gp120 envelope glycoprotein (3). In HIV-infected individuals, early IgM antibodies have low affinity for gp120 glycoprotein (3), which is slightly compensated by t...
متن کاملDisease-enhancing antibodies improve the efficacy of bacterial toxin-neutralizing antibodies.
During infection, humoral immunity produces a polyclonal response with various immunoglobulins recognizing different epitopes within the microbe or toxin. Despite this diverse response, the biological activity of an antibody (Ab) is usually assessed by the action of a monoclonal population. We demonstrate that a combination of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that are individually disease enhancing...
متن کاملMonoclonal Antibodies
SUMMARY Monoclonal Antibodies are identical antibodies and Can be generated in ultimated amounts by countinuos cultures of single antibody- secreting cells. These cell lines are produced by cell fusion of normal lymphocytes to cells of a myeloma tumor cell line, which confers on the antibody producing hybrid cell, immortality and the ability grow as atumor in animals. monoclonal antibodies c...
