Cell binding, uptake and infection of influenza A virus using recombinant antibody-based receptors.

Oluwafemi F. Adu, Milagros Sempere Borau, Simon P. Früh, Umut Karakus, Wendy S. Weichert, Brian R. Wasik, Silke Stertz, Colin R. Parrish

This paper designs an engineered receptor to study influenza A virus binding and entry, showing it enables efficient virus uptake and infection similar to sialic acid receptors.

Assessing bnAb potency in the context of HIV-1 Envelope conformational plasticity

Caio Foulkes, Nikolas Friedrich, Branislav Ivan, Emanuel Stiegeler, Carsten Magnus, Daniel G. Schmidt, Umut Karakus, Jacqueline Weber, Huldrych F. Günthard, Chloé Pasin, Peter Rusert, Alexandra Trkola

This study assesses how HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) respond to Env conformational changes by screening mutants, revealing variation in potency based on epitope and Env flexibility.
