[HTML][HTML] Recent progress in broadly neutralizing antibodies to HIV

D Sok, DR Burton - Nature immunology, 2018 - nature.com
In this Review, we highlight some recent developments in the discovery and application of
broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); ie, …

Isolation of potent SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies and protection from disease in a small animal model

…, IA Wilson, R Andrabi, B Briney, E Landais, D Sok… - Science, 2020 - science.org
Countermeasures to prevent and treat coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are a global

Crystal structure of a soluble cleaved HIV-1 envelope trimer

JP Julien, A Cupo, D Sok, RL Stanfield, D Lyumkis… - Science, 2013 - science.org
HIV-1 entry into CD4 + target cells is mediated by cleaved envelope glycoprotein (Env)
trimers that have been challenging to characterize structurally. Here, we describe the crystal …

… loop is also required for interaction with gp120 V5 and Loop D, and a CDRL1 deletion in
many VRC01-class bNAbs avoids clashes with a glycan linked to Asn 276 (N276) on loop D. …

Neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies prevent Zika virus infection in macaques

…, VK Bailey, L Gonzalez-Nieto, B Briney, D Sok… - Science translational …, 2017 - science.org
Therapies to prevent maternal Zika virus (ZIKV) infection and its subsequent fetal
developmental complications are urgently required. We isolated three potent ZIKV-neutralizing …

… S7, C and D), consistent with reports that such responses to uncleaved gp140s are typically
V3-dominated (35, 37). Deleting the V3 region consistently reduced the ability of the gp120-…

Priming a broadly neutralizing antibody response to HIV-1 using a germline-targeting immunogen

JG Jardine, T Ota, D Sok, M Pauthner, DW Kulp… - Science, 2015 - science.org
A major goal of HIV-1 vaccine research is the design of immunogens capable of inducing
broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) that bind to the viral envelope glycoprotein (Env). Poor …
