Identification of protective human monoclonal antibodies using a K18 hACE2 transgenic mouse SARS-CoV-2 challenge model

Bhavesh R. Borate, Paula A. Pino, Amberlee Hicks…·Andrew J. Fiore-Gartland

This study identifies protective human monoclonal antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 using a K18 hACE2 transgenic mouse model, showing that in vivo testing improves accuracy over in vitro assays.

Exposure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to human alveolar lining fluid shows temporal and strain-specific adaptation to the lung environment

Anna Allué‐Guardia, Andreu Garcia‐Vilanova, Alyssa Schami…·Jordi Bertran Torrelles

This study exposes M.tb strains to human alveolar lining fluid and finds strain-specific and time-dependent gene expression changes, particularly in lipid metabolism and cholesterol degradation.
