Mechanisms of human papillomavirus type 16 neutralization by l2 cross-neutralizing and l1 type-specific antibodies.
Pseudovirions of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16), the principal etiologic agent in 50% of cervical cancers, were used as a model system to investigate the cell surface interactions involved in the exposure of the broadly cross-neutralizing papillomavirus L2 epitopes. These neutralizing epitopes were exposed only after cell surface binding and a subsequent change in capsid conformation that...
متن کاملVLPs Displaying a Single L2 Epitope Induce Broadly Cross-Neutralizing Antibodies against Human Papillomavirus
BACKGROUND Virus-like Particles (VLPs) display can be used to increase the immunogenicity of heterologous antigens. Here, we report the use of a bacteriophage MS2-based VLP display platform to develop a monovalent vaccine targeting a broadly neutralizing epitope in the minor capsid protein human papillomavirus (HPV) that provides broad protection from diverse HPV types in a mouse pseudovirus in...
متن کاملNeutralizing cross-reactive and non-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to HIV-1 gp120.
Amino acid sequences inducing neutralizing antibodies to HIV-1 were sought. Murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were characterized by their reactivity with the envelope precursor gp160 or the Escherichia coli recombinant DNA products pB1 and pE3 representing the carboxy- and amino-terminal halves of mature envelope gp120. Fine mapping of the MAb determinants was performed using defined 15-mer s...
متن کاملThe characterization of neutralizing and non-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies against equid herpesvirus type 1.
Seven monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were produced which recognized equid herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1). Three MAbs neutralized the subtype 1 virus (strain Army 183) in the presence of complement, but did not neutralize the subtype 2 virus (strain MD). All three MAbs immunoprecipitated an Mr 83K glycoprotein from a detergent-solubilized virion envelope preparation of the subtype 1 virus. The target ...
