Rhesus Cytomegalovirus-encoded Fcγ-binding glycoproteins facilitate viral evasion from IgG-mediated humoral immunity

C. E. Otero, S. Petkova, M. Ebermann, H. Taher, N. John, K. Hoffmann, A. Davalos, M. J. Mostrom, R. M. Gilbride, C. Papen, A. Barber-Axthelm, E. A. Scheef, R. Barfield, L. M. Sprehe, S. Kendall, , P. Kolb

This study identifies and characterizes Rhesus CMV-encoded Fcγ-binding glycoproteins, showing they delay antibody-mediated immune control during primary infection.

Relationship of maternal cytomegalovirus-specific antibody responses and viral load to vertical transmission risk following primary maternal infection in a rhesus macaque model

C. E. Otero, R. Barfield, E. Scheef, C. S. Nelson, N. Rodgers, H.-Y. Wang, M. Moström, T. D. Manuel, J. Sass, K. Schmidt, H. Taher, C. Papen, L. Sprehe, S. Kendall, A. Davalos, , S. R. Permar

This study investigates maternal cytomegalovirus (CMV) antibody responses and viral load in rhesus macaques to determine their association with vertical transmission risk, finding no link between plasma viremia or humoral responses and congenital CMV in immunocompetent dams.

The pentameric complex is not required for vertical transmission of cytomegalovirus in seronegative pregnant rhesus macaques

H.-Y. Wang, H. Taher, C. N. Kreklywich, K. A. Schmidt, E. A. Scheef, R. Barfield, C. E. Otero, S. Valencia, C. M. Crooks, A. Mirza, K. Woods, N. V. Burgt, T. F. Kowalik, P. A. Barry, S. G. Hansen, , D. Malouli

The study shows that deleting the pentameric complex in rhesus CMV does not affect congenital transmission in seronegative pregnant rhesus macaques.

Multivalent Human Cytomegalovirus Glycoprotein B Nucleoside-Modified mRNA Vaccines Demonstrate a Greater Breadth in T cell but not Antibody Responses

S. R. Permar, H.-Y. Wang, L. Li, C. S. Nelson, R. Barfield, S. Valencia, C. Chan, H. Muramatsu, P. J. C. Lin, N. Pardi, Z. An, D. Weissman

This study evaluates multivalent HCMV gB mRNA vaccines in rabbits, finding increased T cell responses but no improvement in antibody breadth.
