Antigen avidity potentiates the durability of the vaccine immune response.

The protective benefits of vaccination can critically depend on the durability of the corresponding immune response. However, the factors influencing vaccine durability are poorly understood. Here, we tested whether antigen avidity (i.e., cumulative multivalent binding strength) affected the durability, magnitude, and...

Immunization with mosaic nanoparticles reveals that antigen avidity shapes the clonal hierarchy of the B cell response.

Vaccination with real-world complex antigens often elicits a hierarchical immune response to different epitopes. This immunodominance is a major obstacle in vaccine design because nonprotective epitopes often divert the immune response away from protective epitopes. We posited that B cell epitope avidity (i.e., total m...

Germline-targeting vaccine elicits HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies in nonhuman primates 2303354

HIV vaccine development has been exceptionally challenging, for myriad reasons. Nevertheless, protective HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) exist and have been proposed as templates for vaccine development. Germline-targeting is a conceptually radical approach to vaccine design, aiming to prime rare bnAb...
