Anti-rabies virus immunoglobulin combined with rabies vaccine protects humans from lethal rabies infections. For cost and safety reasons, replacement of the human or equine polyclonal immunoglobulin is advocated, and the use of rabies virus-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) is recommended. We produced two previously described potent rabies virus-neutralizing human MAbs, CR57 and CRJB, in hu...
conclusions the distribution of amino acid mutations as well as the ratio between missense and silent nucleotide mutations (dn/ds) showed that a narrowly focused immune pressure had already been on the surface protein (especially ctl epitopes) which led to the emergence of escape mutants in these patients who were in tolerance phase of chronicity. materials and methods the surface genes from 17...
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 amino acid sequence polymorphisms associated with expression of specific human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I alleles suggest sites of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated selection pressure and immune escape. The associations most frequently observed are between expression of an HLA class I molecule and variation from the consensus sequ...
HIV evolution in response to HLA-restricted CTL selection pressures: a population-based perspective.
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) recognize antigenic peptides displayed by HLA class I molecules on the infected cell surface and represent a major selective force driving HIV evolution through a phenomenon known as "immune escape". Here we summarize recent advances in our understanding of the consequences of CTL escape on HIV evolution at the population level and discuss its implications for HIV ...
As human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) begins to replicate within hosts, immune responses are elicited against it. Escape mutations in viral epitopes-immunogenic peptide parts presented on the surface of infected cells-allow HIV to partially evade these responses, and thus rapidly go to fixation. The faster they go to fixation, i.e., the higher their escape rate, the larger the selective pressur...
We study compact non-supersymmetric Z N orbifolds in various dimensions. We compute the spectrum of several tachyonic type II and heterotic examples and partially classify tachyon-free heterotic models. We also discuss the relation to compactification on K3 and Calabi-Yau manifolds.
HLA B57 and the closely related HLA B5801 are over-represented among HIV-1 infected long-term nonprogressors (LTNPs). It has been suggested that this association between HLA B57/5801 and asymptomatic survival is a consequence of strong CTL responses against epitopes in the viral Gag protein. Moreover, CTL escape mutations in Gag would coincide with viral attenuation, resulting in low viral load...
Precisely defining how viral mutations affect HIV's sensitivity to antibodies is vital to develop and evaluate vaccines and antibody immunotherapeutics. Despite great effort, a full map of escape mutants has not been delineated for an anti-HIV antibody. We describe a massively parallel experimental approach to quantify how all single amino acid mutations to HIV Envelope (Env) affect neutralizin...
The evolutionary implications of recombination in HIV remain not fully understood. A plausible effect could be an enhancement of immune escape from cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). In order to test this hypothesis, we constructed a population dynamic model of immune escape in HIV and examined the viral-immune dynamics with and without recombination. Our model shows that recombination (i) increas...
On 25 November 2021, the world health organization listed Omicron as a newly arisen and fifth variant of concern (VoC) severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The genome sequence showed utmost number mutations compared to other known VoCs up now, it was regarded only SARS-CoV-2 with changes in receptor-binding domain (RBD). However, is still detectable via previous polymer...
