Genetically restricted human antibodies recognize a conserved β-hairpin in postfusion influenza hemagglutinin

Joel Finney, Juyeon Park, Martin Dodes Traian, Masayuki Kuraoka, Dalton Towers, M. Anthony Moody, George Georgiou, Garnett H. Kelsoe, Stephen Harrison

The paper identifies genetically restricted human antibodies that recognize a conserved β-hairpin in postfusion influenza HA and shows that specific IGHV1-2 alleles are required for their production.

Antibody feedback limits specific B-cell entry and alters germinal center repertoires by antibody-antigen complexes

Keisuke Tonouchi, Joel Finney, Emmanuel James San, Elizabeth S. Van Itallie, Joshua S. Martin Beem, Dongmei Liao, Xiaoe Liang, Ling Yuan, Scott E. Szafranski, Masayuki Kuraoka, Kevin R. McCarthy, Kevin J. Wiehe, Stephen C. Harrison, Garnett H. Kelsoe

The paper shows that passive antibody feedback reduces RBS-specific GC B cells and increases unspecific B cells, with no effect on primary GC response magnitude.

Elicitation of stem-directed antibodies in rhesus macaques by a conventional hemagglutinin immunogen

Shuqin Gu, Joel Finney, Kan Luo, Sarah M. Valencia, Dieter Mielke, Tarra A. Von Holle, DJ Marshall, Robert Parks, Laura L. Sutherland, Richard M. Scearce, Kevin J. Wiehe, Sampa Santra, Summer Harris, Jacquelyn DuVall, Chelsea D. Landon, , Michael Anthony Moody

This study shows that a conventional H1 HA trimer vaccine elicits stem-directed antibodies in rhesus macaques that provide broad protection against H1N1 and H5N1 influenza.
