Glycan heterogeneity as a cause of the persistent fraction in HIV-1 neutralization

Philippe Colin, Aleksandar Antanasijevic

Neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) to multiple epitopes on the HIV-1-envelope glycoprotein (Env) have been isolated from infected persons. The potency of NAbs is measured more often than the size of the persistent fraction of infectivity at maximum neutralizat ...

Microfluidic characterisation reveals broad range of SARS-CoV-2 antibody affinity in human plasma

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Marc Emmenegger

The clinical outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infections, which can range from asymptomatic to lethal, is crucially shaped by the concentration of antiviral antibodies and by their affinity to their targets. However, the affinity of polyclonal antibody responses in p ...
