Human Antibodies for Viral Infections

James E. Crowe

Summary: Antibodies have been widely used for preventing and treating viral infections since the nineteenth century, and the development of potent human monoclonal antibodies has paved the way for unprecedented activities. Modifications that extend antibody half-life and the clinical development of broad and potent antibodies have the potential to make antibodies the principal tool in managing future viral epidemics. Furthermore, these antibodies are crucial for research and developing effective vaccines.

The Omicron variant is highly resistant against antibody-mediated neutralization: Implications for control of the COVID-19 pandemic

Markus Hoffmann et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 is spreading rapidly and shows resistance to most therapeutic antibodies. It also evades neutralization by antibodies induced by infection or vaccination more efficiently than the Delta variant. This suggests that therapeutic antibodies may not be effective against the Omicron variant, and double vaccination with BNT162b2 may not provide adequate protection against severe disease caused by this variant.

Striking antibody evasion manifested by the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2

Lihong Liu et al.

Summary: The B.1.1.529/Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2, initially detected in southern Africa, has rapidly spread globally and is expected to become dominant due to its enhanced transmissibility in the coming weeks. This variant poses a threat to the efficacy of current COVID-19 vaccines and antibody therapies due to its significant antibody resistance. Even individuals who have received vaccines and booster doses may have reduced neutralizing activity against B.1.1.529.

Safety and immunogenicity of a ferritin nanoparticle H2 influenza vaccine in healthy adults: a phase 1 trial

Katherine Houser et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical trial results of a novel ferritin nanoparticle influenza vaccine platform called H2HA-Ferritin. The trial showed that the vaccine is safe and well tolerated, and it can elicit neutralizing antibody responses in both individuals who have not been exposed to the H2 subtype and those who have been exposed. Additionally, the vaccine also induced immune responses against multiple influenza subtypes. This vaccine technology has the potential for applications in pandemic preparedness and universal influenza vaccine development.
