Tracing Self-Reactive B Cells in Normal Mice.

Journal Article J Immunol · July 1, 2020 BCR transgenic mice dominate studies of B cell tolerance; consequently, tolerance in normal mice expressing diverse sets of autoreactive B cells is poorly characterized. We have used single B cell cultures to trace self-reactivity in BCR repertoires across ... Full text Link to item Cite

Influenza Antigen Engineering Focuses Immune Responses to a Subdominant but Broadly Protective Viral Epitope.

Journal Article Cell Host Microbe · June 12, 2019 Viral glycoproteins are under constant immune surveillance by a host's adaptive immune responses. Antigenic variation including glycan introduction or removal is among the mechanisms viruses have evolved to escape host immunity. Understanding how glycosyla ... Full text Link to item Cite

HIV-1 Consensus Envelope-Induced Broadly Binding Antibodies.

Journal Article AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses · August 2017 Antibodies that cross-react with multiple HIV-1 envelopes (Envs) are useful reagents for characterizing Env proteins and for soluble Env capture and purification assays. We previously reported 10 murine monoclonal antibodies induced by group M consensus En ... Full text Link to item Cite
