The potential significance of high avidity immunoglobulin G (IgG) for protective immunity towards SARS-CoV-2
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "International Journal of Infectious Diseases"
DOI: 10.1016/j.ijid.2021.01.061
Abstract: Background Avidity is defined as the strength of binding between IgG and its specific target epitope. IgG of high avidity is established during affinity maturation. A failure to achieve high avidity IgG may result in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abj3671
Abstract: Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) represent 8% of the human genome. HERV products may represent tumor antigens relevant for cancer immunotherapy. We developed a bioinformatic approach to identify shared CD8+ T cell epitopes derived from cancer-associated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/jitc-2022-004713
Abstract: Background T-cell receptor-engineered T cells (TCR-Ts) have achieved encouraging success in anticancer clinical trials. The antigenic targets, however, were primarily focused on human leukocyte antigen (HLA) A*02:01 restricted epitopes from a few cancer/testis antigens (CTAs)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1172/jci.insight.150131
Abstract: Amyloidosis involves stepwise growth of fibrils assembled from soluble precursors. Transthyretin (TTR) naturally folds into a stable tetramer, whereas conditions and mutations that foster aberrant monomer formations facilitate TTR oligomeric aggregation and subsequent fibril extension.… read more here.
