Influenza hemagglutinin stem-fragment immunogen elicits broadly neutralizing antibodies and confers heterologous protection.
Influenza hemagglutinin (HA) is the primary target of the humoral response during infection/vaccination. Current influenza vaccines typically fail to elicit/boost broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs), thereby limiting their efficacy. Although several bnAbs bind to the conserved stem domain of HA, focusing the immune response to this conserved stem in the presence of the immunodominant, varia...
متن کاملBroadly Neutralizing Antibodies for HIV Eradication.
Passive transfer of antibodies has long been considered a potential treatment modality for infectious diseases, including HIV. Early efforts to use antibodies to suppress HIV replication, however, were largely unsuccessful, as the antibodies that were studied neutralized only a relatively narrow spectrum of viral strains and were not very potent. Recent advances have led to the discovery of a l...
متن کاملHIV vaccine development and broadly neutralizing antibodies
Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infects about 35 million people worldwide [1]. There is no vaccine in current clinical use. Although available drug treatments are generally effective in controlling infection, they are not curative, can cause significant side effects and are unable to prevent comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease and cancers. In 2012, about 1.6 million people world...
متن کاملBroadly neutralizing antibodies to prevent HIV-1.
A dvances in technology—especially single-cell antibody cloning techniques—have led to the isolation and characterization of antibodies from people with HIV infection that can neutralize many variants (1). These are referred to as broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). Such antibodies can be detected in about 25% of persons with untreated HIV-1 infection (2), reflecting a host immune response...
