ACE2 decoy Fc-fusions and bi-specific killer engager (BiKEs) require Fc engagement for in vivo efficacy against SARS-CoV-2

Jenna K. Dick, Venkatramana Divana Krishna, Dustin Hicks, Jules A. Sangala, Robert J. Oldham, Benjamin T. Zandstra, Carly Baehr, J. Sjef Verbeek, Mark Steven Cragg, Marco Pravetoni, Maxim C.‐J. Cheeran, Geoffrey T. Hart

This study shows that Fc receptor engagement is necessary for the efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 therapeutics, including mAbs and BiKEs, and demonstrates the effectiveness of ACE2 decoy Fc-fusions and BiKEs against multiple variants.

CD4+ but not CD8+ T cells are required for protection against severe guinea pig cytomegalovirus infections

Tyler B. Rollman, Zachary W. Berkebile, Dustin Hicks, Jason S. Hatfield, Priyanka Chauhan, Marco Pravetoni, Mark R. Schleiss, Gregg N. Milligan, Terry K. Morgan, Craig J. Bierle

This study shows CD4+ T cells are critical for preventing severe congenital cytomegalovirus infection in guinea pigs, while CD8+ T cell depletion increases placental viral load without affecting disease severity.
