The article focuses on the ability of broadly neutralizing antibodies to neutralize HIV at low concentrations. It discusses the study conducted by AIDS vaccine researchers in the U.S. on several antibodies which were isolated from the blood of HIV-infected individuals that were able to inactivate ...
Using measurements of neutralizing antibodies: The challenge of IFN-β therapy Although the occurrence of neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) to interferon (IFN)-β has been acknowledged since the pivotal trials of IFN-β in multiple scler... D Hesse,P S Srensen - 《European Journal of Neurology》 ...
Antibodies, or immunoglobulins, are large Y-shaped glycoproteins that specifically target an invading pathogen and excel at neutralizing bacteria and viruses present in the body’s fluids or extracellular space. They can do this by binding to the surface receptors on the pathogen that may be necessa...
The second paper the lab published this week in theJournal of Infectious Diseasesshows that such antibodies are not out of reach. In this work, the scientists showed that a mouse which had been sequentially immunized with Ebola virus and then Sudan virus also had a broadly protective antibody r...
"The series of images is like a flip book where we see snapshots along the way of the fusion protein unfolding, but then we see the antibody locking it together before it can complete the last stage in the fusion process. We think other antibodies against other viruses will do the same ...

Paramyxoviruses including measles, Nipah, and parainfluenza viruses are public health threats with pandemic potential. Human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV3) is a leading cause of illness in pediatric, older, and immunocompromised populations. There ar
S8). At this moment we do not know how cells sense the virions. Importantly, though, successful Type 2 interactions were only observed in case of Ab-stdDENV and Ab-prMDENV and therefore this sensing mechanism is linked to the presence of antibodies (Fig. 5G). Endocytic trafficking of ...

Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs). These antibodies stop many types of HIV from entering healthy cells. While some people living with HIV naturally make them, it's usually too late to overcome the virus. Researchers have isolated bNAbs from the blood of people with HIV. They hope to use...
