Triple Combinations of AAV9-Vectors Encoding Anti-HIV bNAbs Provide Long-Term In Vivo Expression of Human IgG Effectively Neutralizing Pseudoviruses from HIV-1 Global Panel.

Anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) offer a promising approach for the treatment of HIV-1. The current paradigm for antibody therapy involves passive antibody transfer, requiring regular delivery of bNAbs in treating chronic diseases such as HIV-1. An alternative strategy is to use AAV-mediated gene transfer to enable in vivo production of desirable anti-HIV-1 antibodies.

Insight into the electronic structure of the centrosymmetric skyrmion magnet GdRuSi.

The discovery of a square magnetic-skyrmion lattice in GdRuSi, with the smallest so far found skyrmion size and without a geometrically frustrated lattice, has attracted significant attention. In this work, we present a comprehensive study of surface and bulk electronic structures of GdRuSi by utilizing momentum-resolved photoemission (ARPES) measurements and first-principles calculations. We show how the electronic structure evolves during the antiferromagnetic transition when a peculiar helical order of 4f magnetic moments within the Gd layers sets in.

Humanized Mouse Model of HIV Infection.

The development of new drugs for the treatment of HIV infection requires testing of their efficacy in a relevant animal model, such as humanized mice, which, unfortunately, are not yet available in Russia. In the present study, we have developed conditions for the humanization of immunodeficient NSG mice with human hematopoietic stem cells. Humanized animals generated during the study showed a high degree of chimerism and harbored repopulation of the entire range of human lymphocytes required for HIV replication in the blood and organs.

Insight into the Temperature-Dependent Canting of 4f Magnetic Moments from 4f Photoemission.

The orientation of the 4f moments offers an additional degree of freedom for engineering the spin-related properties in spintronic nanostructures of lanthanides. Yet, precise monitoring of the direction of magnetic moments remains a challenge. Here, on the example of the antiferromagnets HoRhSi and DyRhSi, we investigate the temperature-dependent canting of the 4f moments near the surface.

Development of MVA-d34 Tetravalent Dengue Vaccine: Design and Immunogenicity.

Dengue fever, an infectious disease that affects more than 100 million people every year, is a global health problem. Vaccination may be the most effective prevention strategy for the disease. However, the development of vaccines against dengue fever is complicated by the high risk of developing an antibody-dependent increase in infection.
