HCMV glycoprotein B, but not the pentameric complex, is a key target of antibody-mediated phagocytosis

Maura K. Farrell, Megan R. Connors, Maya Fabozzi…·Claire E. Otero

This study shows that HCMV glycoprotein B, not the pentameric complex, is a target of antibody-mediated phagocytosis, suggesting gB should be prioritized for vaccines against vertical transmission.

A human cytomegalovirus prefusion-like glycoprotein B subunit vaccine elicits similar humoral immunity to that of postfusion gB in mice

Krithika P. Karthigeyan, Megan Connors, Christian R. Binuya…·Sallie R. Permar

This study compares humoral immunity elicited by prefusion-like and postfusion forms of HCMV gB in mice, finding similar neutralization titers but differences in antibody binding and phagocytosis.

Structure-based design of a soluble human cytomegalovirus glycoprotein B antigen stabilized in a prefusion-like conformation

Madeline R. Sponholtz, Patrick O. Byrne, Alison G. Lee…·Jason S. McLellan

This paper describes the stabilization of HCMV gB in a prefusion-like conformation using structure-based design and shows similar neutralizing antibody titers against postfusion and prefusion forms.
