The paper shows that early clonal dominance in B-cell precursors after vaccination predicts the breadth of HIV-neutralizing antibodies in rhesus macaques.

Epitope-focused S2 stem-helix nanoparticle immunogens elicit protective broadly neutralizing antibodies against diverse betacoronaviruses in non-human primates, establishing a framework for pan-betacoronavirus vaccines.

This study shows that a germline-targeting HIV immunogen induces cross-neutralizing antibodies in outbred macaques by priming V2-apex bnAb B cell precursors.

This study vaccinates nonhuman primates with SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV spike proteins to elicit cross-reactive antibodies that neutralize both sarbecoviruses and merbecoviruses.

The paper designs native-like HIV Env single-chain trimers (SCTs) that are stable, immunogenic, and compatible with vaccine delivery methods.

GhostFold generates synthetic multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) from single sequences to improve protein structure prediction, achieving accuracy comparable to existing methods without relying on homology searches.

This study shows a novel two-step mechanism for inducing broadly neutralizing HIV antibodies in macaques using a modified SHIV, informing vaccine design.

This study shows that a single immunization with a germline-targeting trimer can induce broad HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies in a rhesus macaque bnAb mouse model.

This paper uses AI to predict and stabilize the conformational states of Lassa virus GPC, identifying vaccine candidates with improved expression and antigenicity.

This study uses AlphaFold3 to model structural dynamics of DNA ligases, revealing conformational changes critical for enzyme function and DNA repair.

This study shows that germline-targeting SCIVs can activate and expand B cells expressing V2-apex bnAb-like precursors in rhesus macaques.

This paper describes a high-throughput method for cloning HIV-1 env genes using Phusion polymerase and overlap extension PCR, enabling efficient analysis of diverse env genes from infected individuals.
