On the exploration of novel methodological approaches for immunogen design: case studies in influenza and hepatitis C

Andreas Scheck

Proteins are fundamental components in biological systems and crucial for a variety of biological functions. Over the last decades, significant progress in structural biology has facilitated the study of proteins and their interactions with molecular partn ...

Epitope Mapping and Fine Specificity of Human T and B Cell Responses for Novel Candidate Blood-Stage Malaria Vaccine P27A

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Che Yang, Daniel Guignard

P27A is a novel synthetic malaria vaccine candidate derived from the blood stage Plasmodium falciparum protein Trophozoite Exported Protein 1 (TEX1/PFF0165c). In phase 1a/1b clinical trials in malaria unexposed adults in Switzerland and in malaria pre-expo ...

Functional de novo Protein Design for Targeted Vaccines and Synthetic Biology Applications

Che Yang

Evolution has created, selected and evolved large repertoires of proteins that operate in various biological systems. Nowadays biotechnological needs are coming up orders of magnitude faster than proteins naturally evolve. The emergence of de novo protein ...

Single-Virus Droplet Microfluidics for High-Throughput Screening of Neutralizing Epitopes on HIV Particles

Christoph Merten

Analyzing surface epitopes of single HIV particles holds great potential for the development of vaccine candidates. However, existing technologies do not allow corresponding screens at high throughput. We present here a single-virus droplet-based microflui ...

Exploring the potency of normal and pathological human thymic epithelial cells

Tiphaine Mélodie Chantal Arlabosse

Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) are organised in a unique 3D network that is critical for the development of efficient and self-tolerant T-cells. We report for the first time that the human thymus of all ages, even old and involuted, contains a significant ...

Structure of Crenezumab Complex with A beta Shows Loss of beta-Hairpin

Andrea Pfeifer, Andreas Muhs, Bing Li

Accumulation of amyloid-beta (A beta) peptides and amyloid plaque deposition in brain is postulated as a cause of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The precise pathological species of A beta remains elusive although evidence suggests soluble oligomers may be prima ...

Memory of tolerance and induction of regulatory T cells by erythrocyte-targeted antigens

Stephane Kontos, Xavier Fredy René Quaglia-Thermes, Giacomo Olimpio Diaceri, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Alizée Jéléna Grimm

New approaches based on induction of antigen-specific immunological tolerance are being explored for treatment of autoimmunity and prevention of immunity to protein drugs. Antigens associated with apoptotic debris are known to be processed tolerogenically ...
