[HTML][HTML] Respiratory syncytial virus entry and how to block it

MB Battles, JS McLellan - Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2019 - nature.com
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract disease in
young children and elderly people. Although the virus was isolated in 1955, an effective RSV …

Broad and potent activity against SARS-like viruses by an engineered human monoclonal antibody

…, LM Deveau, TJ Yockachonis, AS Herbert, MB Battles… - Science, 2021 - science.org
The recurrent zoonotic spillover of coronaviruses (CoVs) into the human population
underscores the need for broadly active countermeasures. We employed a directed evolution …

Five birds, one stone: Neutralization of α-hemolysin and 4 bi-component leukocidins of Staphylococcus aureus with a single human monoclonal antibody

H Rouha, A Badarau, ZC Visram, MB Battles, B Prinz… - MAbs, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen associated with high mortality. The
emergence of antibiotic resistance and the inability of antibiotics to counteract bacterial …

[HTML][HTML] Molecular mechanism of respiratory syncytial virus fusion inhibitors

MB Battles, JP Langedijk… - Nature chemical …, 2016 - nature.com
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of pneumonia and bronchiolitis in young
children and the elderly. Therapeutic small molecules have been developed that bind the …

[HTML][HTML] Structure and immunogenicity of pre-fusion-stabilized human metapneumovirus F glycoprotein

MB Battles, V Más, E Olmedillas, O Cano… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a frequent cause of bronchiolitis in young children. Its
F glycoprotein mediates virus–cell membrane fusion and is the primary target of neutralizing …

[HTML][HTML] Therapeutic efficacy of a respiratory syncytial virus fusion inhibitor

D Roymans, SS Alnajjar, MB Battles… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Respiratory syncytial virus is a major cause of acute lower respiratory tract infection in
young children, immunocompromised adults, and the elderly. Intervention with small-molecule …

[HTML][HTML] Structural basis of respiratory syncytial virus subtype-dependent neutralization by an antibody targeting the fusion glycoprotein

D Tian, MB Battles, SM Moin, M Chen… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
A licensed vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is unavailable, and passive
prophylaxis with the antibody palivizumab is restricted to high-risk infants. Recently isolated …

Context matters: The importance of dimerization-induced conformation of the LukGH leukocidin of Staphylococcus aureus for the generation of neutralizing antibodies

A Badarau, H Rouha, S Malafa, MB Battles, L Walker… - MAbs, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
LukGH (LukAB) is a potent leukocidin of Staphylococcus aureus that lyses human
phagocytic cells and is thought to contribute to immune evasion. Unlike the other bi-component …

Structure-based engineering of a novel CD3ε-targeting antibody for reduced polyreactivity

…, EM Krauland, R Pejchal, PF Widboom, MB Battles - MAbs, 2023 - Taylor & Francis
Bispecific antibodies continue to represent a growth area for antibody therapeutics, with
roughly a third of molecules in clinical development being T-cell engagers that use an anti-CD3 …

[HTML][HTML] Alternative conformations of a major antigenic site on RSV F

HG Jones, MB Battles, CC Lin, S Bianchi, D Corti… - PLoS …, 2019 - journals.plos.org
