A Therapeutic Antibody for Cancer, Derived from Single Human B Cells.
(Cell Rep, 2016-05-17)Some patients with cancer never develop metastasis, and their host response might provide cues for innovative treatment strategies. We previously reported an association between autoantibodies against complement factor H ... -
Age-related changes in the nasopharyngeal microbiome are associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection and symptoms among children, adolescents, and young adults.
(Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, 2022-03-05)<h4>Background</h4>Children are less susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and typically have milder illness courses than adults, but the factors underlying these age-associated differences are not well understood. The upper ... -
Age-related changes in the upper respiratory microbiome are associated with SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility and illness severity.
(medRxiv, 2021-03-23)Children are less susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and typically have milder illness courses than adults. We studied the nasopharyngeal microbiomes of 274 children, adolescents, and young adults with SARS-CoV-2 exposure using 16S ... -
Assessment of Simulated Surveillance Testing and Quarantine in a SARS-CoV-2-Vaccinated Population of Students on a University Campus.
(JAMA health forum, 2021-10)<h4>Importance</h4>The importance of surveillance testing and quarantine on university campuses to limit SARS-CoV-2 transmission needs to be reevaluated in the context of a complex and rapidly changing environment that includes ... -
Fab-dimerized glycan-reactive antibodies are a structural category of natural antibodies.
(Cell, 2021-05-18)Natural antibodies (Abs) can target host glycans on the surface of pathogens. We studied the evolution of glycan-reactive B cells of rhesus macaques and humans using glycosylated HIV-1 envelope (Env) as a model antigen. ... -
H3N2 influenza infection elicits more cross-reactive and less clonally expanded anti-hemagglutinin antibodies than influenza vaccination.
(PloS one, 2011-01)During the recent H1N1 influenza pandemic, excess morbidity and mortality was seen in young but not older adults suggesting that prior infection with influenza strains may have protected older subjects. In contrast, a history ... -
HLA class II-Restricted CD8+ T cells in HIV-1 Virus Controllers.
(Scientific reports, 2019-07-15)A paradigm shifting study demonstrated that induction of MHC class E and II-restricted CD8+ T cells was associated with the clearance of SIV infection in rhesus macaques. Another recent study highlighted the presence of ... -
Implementation of a Pooled Surveillance Testing Program for Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 Infections on a College Campus - Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, August 2-October 11, 2020.
(MMWR. Morbidity and mortality weekly report, 2020-11-20)On university campuses and in similar congregate environments, surveillance testing of asymptomatic persons is a critical strategy (1,2) for preventing transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease ... -
Infectious virion capture by HIV-1 gp120-specific IgG from RV144 vaccinees.
(J Virol, 2013-07)The detailed examination of the antibody repertoire from RV144 provides a unique template for understanding potentially protective antibody functions. Some potential immune correlates of protection were untested in the correlates ... -
Influence of HLA-C expression level on HIV control.
(Science, 2013-04-05)A variant upstream of human leukocyte antigen C (HLA-C) shows the most significant genome-wide effect on HIV control in European Americans and is also associated with the level of HLA-C expression. We characterized ... -
Initial antibodies binding to HIV-1 gp41 in acutely infected subjects are polyreactive and highly mutated.
(J Exp Med, 2011-10-24)The initial antibody response to HIV-1 is targeted to envelope (Env) gp41, and is nonneutralizing and ineffective in controlling viremia. To understand the origins and characteristics of gp41-binding antibodies produced ... -
Initiation of HIV neutralizing B cell lineages with sequential envelope immunizations.
(Nature communications, 2017-11-23)A strategy for HIV-1 vaccine development is to define envelope (Env) evolution of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) in infection and to recreate those events by vaccination. Here, we report host tolerance mechanisms ... -
Interrogation of individual intratumoral B lymphocytes from lung cancer patients for molecular target discovery.
(Cancer Immunol Immunother, 2016-02)Intratumoral B lymphocytes are an integral part of the lung tumor microenvironment. Interrogation of the antibodies they express may improve our understanding of the host response to cancer and could be useful in elucidating ... -
Isolation of HIV-1-neutralizing mucosal monoclonal antibodies from human colostrum.
(PLoS One, 2012)BACKGROUND: Generation of potent anti-HIV antibody responses in mucosal compartments is a potential requirement of a transmission-blocking HIV vaccine. HIV-specific, functional antibody responses are present in breast milk, ... -
Lack of B cell dysfunction is associated with functional, gp120-dominant antibody responses in breast milk of simian immunodeficiency virus-infected African green monkeys.
(J Virol, 2013-10)The design of an effective vaccine to reduce the incidence of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) via breastfeeding will require identification of protective immune responses that block ... -
Leukopak PBMC sample processing for preparing quality control material to support proficiency testing programs.
(Journal of Immunological Methods, 2014-07)External proficiency testing programs designed to evaluate the performance of end-point laboratories involved in vaccine and therapeutic clinical trials form an important part of clinical trial quality assurance. Good clinical ... -
Maternal HIV-1 envelope-specific antibody responses and reduced risk of perinatal transmission.
(J Clin Invest, 2015-07-01)Despite the wide availability of antiretroviral drugs, more than 250,000 infants are vertically infected with HIV-1 annually, emphasizing the need for additional interventions to eliminate pediatric HIV-1 infections. Here, ... -
Neonatal Rhesus Macaques Have Distinct Immune Cell Transcriptional Profiles following HIV Envelope Immunization.
(Cell reports, 2020-02)HIV-1-infected infants develop broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) more rapidly than adults, suggesting differences in the neonatal versus adult responses to the HIV-1 envelope (Env). Here, trimeric forms of HIV-1 Env ... -
Polyclonal B cell differentiation and loss of gastrointestinal tract germinal centers in the earliest stages of HIV-1 infection.
(PLoS Med, 2009-07-07)BACKGROUND: The antibody response to HIV-1 does not appear in the plasma until approximately 2-5 weeks after transmission, and neutralizing antibodies to autologous HIV-1 generally do not become detectable until 12 weeks ... -
Recapitulation of HIV-1 Env-antibody coevolution in macaques leading to neutralization breadth.
(Science (New York, N.Y.), 2020-11-19)Neutralizing antibodies elicited by HIV-1 coevolve with viral envelope proteins (Env) in distinctive patterns, in some cases acquiring substantial breadth. We report that primary HIV-1 envelope proteins-when expressed by ...
