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

Diverse antibody repertoires spanning multiple lymphoid organs (i.e., bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes) form the foundation of protective humoral immunity.

Broad-spectrum RNA antiviral inspired by ISG15 deficiency.

Unlabelled: Type I interferons (IFN-I) are cytokines with potent antiviral and inflammatory capacities. IFN-I signaling drives the expression of hundreds of IFN-I stimulated genes (ISGs), whose aggregate function results in the control of viral infection. A few of these ISGs are tasked with negatively regulating the IFN-I response to prevent overt inflammation.

Traffic on the TLR expressway.

Genetic variation in UNC93B1, a key component in TLR trafficking, can lead to autoinflammation caused by increased TLR activity. Analysis of seven patient variants combined with a comprehensive alanine screen revealed that different regions of UNC93B1 selectively regulate different TLRs (Rael et al. https://doi.

Antibodies targeting the fusion peptide on the HIV envelope provide protection to rhesus macaques against mucosal SHIV challenge.

The fusion peptide (FP) on the HIV-1 envelope (Env) trimer can be targeted by broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs). Here, we evaluated the ability of a human FP-directed bNAb, VRC34.01, along with two vaccine-elicited anti-FP rhesus macaque mAbs, DFPH-a.
