Isolation of a Potently Neutralizing and Protective Human Monoclonal Antibody Targeting Yellow Fever Virus

Michael P. Doyle et al.

Summary: Yellow fever virus (YFV) is a mosquito-borne virus that occasionally causes outbreaks of severe infection in South America and sub-Saharan Africa. Effective vaccines have been developed, but recent production and distribution issues have left many people vulnerable. This study aimed to isolate an antibody from individuals who had received the YFV vaccine for future use as a biologic drug. The most powerful antiviral antibody was found to be effective in animal models of human infection. These studies provide insights into the human immune response to YFV and offer a potential therapeutic antibody candidate for inhibiting highly virulent strains of the virus.

LY-CoV1404 (bebtelovimab) potently neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 variants

Kathryn Westendorf et al.

Summary: A monoclonal antibody named LY-CoV1404 has been successfully isolated, which demonstrates highly potent neutralization against multiple variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The binding site of LY-CoV1404 remains relatively conserved, allowing it to maintain its activity. This finding suggests that LY-CoV1404 has the potential to be an effective therapeutic agent against all known variants.

A neutralizing-protective supersite of human monoclonal antibodies for fever virus

Yan Li et al.

Summary: Researchers have isolated eight human monoclonal antibodies that can neutralize yellow fever virus (YFV) infection, with two of them showing ultra-potent neutralizing activity and providing complete protection against YFV in a mouse model. Crystal structure analysis revealed the mechanisms by which these antibodies inhibit viral infection, and identified a vulnerable supersite that could be targeted for vaccine design.
