Protective threshold of a potent neutralizing #Zika virus monoclonal #antibody in rhesus #macaques

Source: Journal of Virology, ABSTRACTZika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that caused a global pandemic in 2016–2017 with continued ongoing transmission at low levels in several countries. In the absence of an approved ZIKV vaccine, neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) provide an option for the prevention and treatment of ZIKV infection. Previous studies…

Evolving #antibody #response to #SARS-CoV-2 #antigenic #shift from #XBB to #JN1

Source: Nature, AbstractThe continuous evolution of SARS-CoV-2, particularly the emergence of BA.2.86/JN.1 lineage replacing XBB, necessitates re-evaluation of vaccine compositions 1–3. Here, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the humoral immune response to XBB and JN.1 human exposure. We demonstrate the antigenic distinctiveness of XBB and JN.1 lineages in SARS-CoV-2-naive individuals,…

Neutralizing #antibody #evasion of #SARS-CoV-2 #JN1 derivatives #KP3, #KP311, #LB1, and #XEC

Source: BioRxIV, AbstractThe emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants poses ongoing challenges to vaccine efficacy. We evaluated neutralizing antibody responses against JN.1 and its derivatives (KP.3, KP.3.1.1, LB.1, and XEC) in healthcare workers who received seven doses of BNT162b2, including XBB.1.5 monovalent vaccine. In COVID-19-naive individuals, KP.3.1.1 and LB.1 showed…

Immune history shapes #human #antibody #responses to #H5N1 #influenza viruses {Repost}

Source: MedRxIV, AbstractAvian H5N1 influenza viruses are circulating widely in cattle and other mammals and pose a risk for a human pandemic. Previous studies suggest that older humans are more resistant to H5N1 infections due to childhood imprinting with other group 1 viruses (H1N1 and H2N2); however, the immunological basis for this is incompletely understood. Here we show that…
