Description:
The isolation of broadly neutralizing antibodies against influenza A viruses has been a long-sought goal for therapeutic approaches and vaccine design. Using a single-cell culture method for screening large numbers of human plasma cells, we isolated a neutralizing monoclonal antibody that recognized the hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein of all 16 subtypes and neutralized both group 1 and group 2 influenza A viruses. Passive transfer of this antibody conferred protection to mice and ferrets. Complexes with HAs from the group 1 H1 and the group 2 H3 subtypes analyzed by x-ray crystallography showed that the antibody bound to a conserved epitope in the F subdomain. This antibody may be used for passive protection and to inform vaccine design because of its broad specificity and neutralization potency.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Corti, Davide -- Voss, Jarrod -- Gamblin, Steven J -- Codoni, Giosiana -- Macagno, Annalisa -- Jarrossay, David -- Vachieri, Sebastien G -- Pinna, Debora -- Minola, Andrea -- Vanzetta, Fabrizia -- Silacci, Chiara -- Fernandez-Rodriguez, Blanca M -- Agatic, Gloria -- Bianchi, Siro -- Giacchetto-Sasselli, Isabella -- Calder, Lesley -- Sallusto, Federica -- Collins, Patrick -- Haire, Lesley F -- Temperton, Nigel -- Langedijk, Johannes P M -- Skehel, John J -- Lanzavecchia, Antonio -- G0600369/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- MC_U117584222/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Aug 12;333(6044):850-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1205669.
