Isolation and characterization of a highly specific monoclonal antibody targeting the botulinum neurotoxin type E exposed SNAP-25 neoepitope

This paper isolates a highly specific monoclonal antibody that detects the BoNT/E-cleaved SNAP-25 neoepitope with ultra-high affinity and no cross-reactivity.

Fc-independent neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 by recombinant human monoclonal antibodies

This study shows that Fc-independent monoclonal antibodies can neutralize SARS-CoV-2 in mice, reducing viral load and preventing mortality without Fc-dependent effector functions.

Neutralization of the anthrax toxin by antibody-mediated stapling of its membrane penetrating loop

This study determines the cryo-EM structure of anthrax toxin's protective antigen complexed with an antibody, revealing how the antibody neutralizes the toxin by preventing pore formation.

The neutralization potency of anti-SARS-CoV-2 therapeutic human monoclonal antibodies is retained against novel viral variants

This study evaluates the neutralization potency of four SARS-CoV-2 mAbs against spike mutations and two variants of concern, finding that MD65 and BL6 retain effectiveness against B.1.1.7 and B.1.351.

Therapeutic antibodies, targeting the SARS-CoV-2 spike N-terminal domain, protect lethally infected K18-hACE2 mice

This study identifies and characterizes neutralizing antibodies targeting the SARS-CoV-2 spike N-terminal domain, showing their protective efficacy in mice.

Mice with Induced Pulmonary Comorbidities Display Severe Lung Inflammation and Mortality following Exposure to SARS-CoV-2

This study shows that CD-1 mice with induced pulmonary comorbidities develop severe lung inflammation and high mortality after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Post-exposure protection of SARS-CoV-2 lethal infected K18-hACE2 transgenic mice by neutralizing human monoclonal antibody

This study shows that the human monoclonal antibody MD65 can rescue 100% of SARS-CoV-2 infected mice when administered up to 3 days post-exposure.

A single dose of recombinant VSV-{triangleup}G-spike vaccine provides protection against SARS-CoV-2 challenge

This study develops a recombinant VSV-ΔG-spike vaccine that provides single-dose protection against SARS-CoV-2 in hamsters by inducing neutralizing antibodies and preventing lung pathology.

Tiger team: a panel of human neutralizing mAbs targeting SARS-CoV-2 spike at multiple epitopes

This paper isolates and characterizes a panel of human neutralizing monoclonal antibodies targeting SARS-CoV-2 spike at multiple epitopes, suggesting their potential for combined post-exposure therapy.
