Neutralization of Zika virus by germline-like human monoclonal antibodies targeting cryptic epitopes on envelope domain III
The Zika virus (ZIKV), a flavivirus transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, has emerged as a global public health concern. Pre-existing cross-reactive antibodies against other flaviviruses could modulate immune responses to ZIKV infection by antibody-dependent enhancement, highlighting the importance of understanding the immunogenicity of the ZIKV envelope protein. In this study, we identified a panel...
متن کاملRubella virus antigens: localization of epitopes involved in hemagglutination and neutralization by using monoclonal antibodies.
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against the rubella virion were used to locate epitopes involved in hemagglutination and neutralization. The MAbs exhibiting high-level hemagglutination-inhibiting activity were shown by Western blot analysis to be specific for the E1 polypeptide; this is consistent with the presence of the hemagglutinin on the E1 polypeptide. Some of the E1-specific MAbs also neutr...
متن کاملChikungunya virus envelope-specific human monoclonal antibodies with broad neutralization potency.
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an alphavirus responsible for numerous epidemics in Africa and Asia. Infection by CHIKV is often characterized by long-lasting, incapacitating arthritis, and some fatal cases have been described among elderly and newborns. Currently, there is no available vaccine or specific treatment against CHIKV. Blood B cells from a donor with history of CHIKV infection were act...
متن کاملComputational Prediction of Neutralization Epitopes Targeted by Human Anti-V3 HIV Monoclonal Antibodies
The extreme diversity of HIV-1 strains presents a formidable challenge for HIV-1 vaccine design. Although antibodies (Abs) can neutralize HIV-1 and potentially protect against infection, antibodies that target the immunogenic viral surface protein gp120 have widely variable and poorly predictable cross-strain reactivity. Here, we developed a novel computational approach, the Method of Dynamic E...
متن کاملStructural Basis of Human Parechovirus Neutralization by Human Monoclonal Antibodies.
UNLABELLED Since it was first recognized in 2004 that human parechoviruses (HPeV) are a significant cause of central nervous system and neonatal sepsis, their clinical importance, primarily in children, has started to emerge. Intravenous immunoglobulin treatment is the only treatment available in such life-threatening cases and has given moderate success. Direct inhibition of parechovirus infec...
