Structural and functional diversity of neutrophil glycosylation in innate immunity and related disorders

Julian Ugonotti et al.

Summary: Granulocytes neutrophils have been found to use specific glycoproteins in their cytosolic granules to fight pathogens, and recent advances in glycoinformatics have shed light on the structural diversity of these glycoproteins. Neutrophils also display unique glycosignatures, such as specific N-glycans and O-glycans, which may play a role in their effector functions. Future research may focus on elucidating the mechanisms behind these glycoprotein modifications and their potential diagnostic and therapeutic applications in innate immune disorders.

Development and structural basis of a two-MAb cocktail for treating SARS-CoV-2 infections

Chao Zhang et al.

Summary: The study identifies and characterizes two mouse-derived monoclonal antibodies targeting distinct epitopes on the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which can form a noncompeting antibody cocktail. A humanized version of the cocktail exhibits prophylactic and therapeutic antiviral effects in vitro, and shows the potential for treating SARS-CoV-2 infections.
