HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) can suppress viremia and protect against infection. However, their elicitation is made difficult by low frequencies of appropriate precursor B cell receptors the complex maturation pathways required to generate bnAbs from these precursors. Antibody genes be engineered into cells for expression as both a functional antigen receptor on surfaces secreted antibody. Here, we show that bnAb-engineered primary mouse adoptively transferred vaccinated in...

<title>Abstract</title> The continued evolution of SARS-CoV-2 underscores the need to understand qualitative aspects humoral immune response elicited by spike immunization. Here, we combined monoclonal antibody (mAb) isolation with deep B cell receptor (BCR) repertoire sequencing rhesus macaques immunized prefusion-stabilized glycoprotein. Longitudinal tracing spike-sorted lineages in multiple compartments demonstrated increasing somatic hypermutation and broad dissemination vaccine-elicited...
Abstract Objectives The caecum bridges the small and large intestine plays a front‐line role in discriminating gastrointestinal antigens. Although dysregulated acute chronic conditions, tissue is often overlooked immunologically. Methods To address this issue, we applied single‐cell transcriptomic‐V(D)J sequencing to FACS‐isolated CD45 + caecal patch/lamina propria leukocytes from healthy (5‐year‐old) female rhesus macaque ex vivo coupled these data VDJ deep reads haematopoietic tissues....

Summary Protective antibodies against HIV-1 require unusually high levels of somatic hypermutations (SHMs) introduced in germinal centers (GCs). To achieve this, a sequential vaccination approach was proposed. Using antibody knock-in mice with fate-mapping genes, we examined if antigen affinity affects the outcome B cell recall response. Compared to boost, low boost resulted decreased numbers memory-derived cells secondary GCs, but higher average SHM, indicating an threshold for memory enter...
