The physiological landscape and specificity of antibody repertoires are consolidated by multiple immunizations

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Fabian Sesterhenn

Diverse antibody repertoires spanning multiple lymphoid organs (i.e., bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes) form the foundation of protective humoral immunity. Changes in their composition across lymphoid organs are a consequence of B-cell selection and migrat ...

A generic framework for hierarchical de novo protein design

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Jaume Bonet Martinez, Fabian Sesterhenn, Zander Harteveld, Stéphane Rosset, Che Yang

De novo protein design enables the exploration of novel sequences and structures absent from the natural protein universe. De novo design also stands as a stringent test for our understanding of the underlying physical principles of protein folding and may ...

Bottom-up de novo design of functional proteins with complex structural features

Luciano Andres Abriata, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Sandrine Madeleine Suzanne Georgeon, Leo Scheller, Jaume Bonet Martinez, Fabian Sesterhenn, Stéphane Rosset, Che Yang, Eva Anna van Aalen

De novo protein design has enabled the creation of new protein structures. However, the design of functional proteins has proved challenging, in part due to the difficulty of transplanting structurally complex functional sites to available protein structur ...

De novo protein design enables the precise induction of RSV-neutralizing antibodies

Luciano Andres Abriata, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Elisa Oricchio, Sandrine Madeleine Suzanne Georgeon, Jaume Bonet Martinez, Fabian Sesterhenn, Stéphane Rosset, Che Yang, Patricia Corthésy Henrioud, Sabrina Susan Vollers

De novo protein design has been successful in expanding the natural protein repertoire. However, most de novo proteins lack biological function, presenting a major methodological challenge. In vaccinology, the induction of precise antibody responses remain ...

Boosting subdominant neutralizing antibody responses with a computationally designed epitope-focused immunogen

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Jaume Bonet Martinez, Sai Reddy, Pablo Gainza Cirauqui, Fabian Sesterhenn, Stéphane Rosset, Che Yang, Patricia Corthésy Henrioud, Sabrina Susan Vollers

Throughout the last several decades, vaccination has been key to prevent and eradicate infectious diseases. However, many pathogens (e.g., respiratory syncytial virus [RSV], influenza, dengue, and others) have resisted vaccine development efforts, largely ...

Expanding beyond the natural protein repertoire to engineer targeted vaccines and diagnostics

Fabian Sesterhenn

Proteins have evolved over millions of years to carry out the vast majority of biological functions that are fundamental to life. Their three-dimensional structures and functions have been in the focus of biomedical research for many decades, and substanti ...
