Unlabelled: The emergence of novel variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to pose an ongoing challenge for global public health services, highlighting the urgent need for effective therapeutic interventions. Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are a major therapeutic strategy for the treatment of COVID-19 and other viral diseases. In this study, we employed hybridoma technology to generate mAbs that target the BA.

Background: Mature T-cell neoplasms arise from the neoplastic transformation of a single T lymphocyte, and all cells in a neoplastic clone share the same V segment in the beta chain of the T-cell receptor (TCR). These segments may represent an innovative target for the development of targeted therapies.
Methods: A specific V segment of the TCR beta chain (TRBV5-1) was analyzed using bioinformatic tools, identifying three potential antigenic peptides.

In this work, we developed PolyMap (polyclonal mapping), a high-throughput method for mapping protein-protein interactions. We demonstrated the mapping of thousands of antigen-antibody interactions between diverse antibody libraries isolated from convalescent and vaccinated COVID-19 donors and a set of clinically relevant SARS-CoV-2 spike variants. We identified over 150 antibodies with a variety of distinctive binding patterns toward the antigen variants and found a broader binding profile, including targeting of the Omicron variant, in the antibody repertoires of more recent donors.

Motivation: LIBRA-seq (linking B cell receptor to antigen specificity by sequencing) provides a powerful tool for interrogating the antigen-specific B cell compartment and identifying antibodies against antigen targets of interest. Identification of noise in single-cell B cell receptor sequencing data, such as LIBRA-seq, is critical for improving antigen binding predictions for downstream applications including antibody discovery and machine learning technologies.
Results: In this study, we present a method for denoising LIBRA-seq data by clustering antigen counts into signal and noise components with a negative binomial mixture model.

Biomarkers detection has become essential in medical diagnostics and early detection of life-threatening diseases. Modern-day medicine relies heavily on painful and invasive tests, with the extraction of large volumes of venous blood being the most common tool of biomarker detection. These tests are time-consuming, complex, expensive and require multiple sample manipulations and trained staff.
