  • Publication number: 20230279082
    Abstract: The present invention relates to anti-HIV antibodies. Also disclosed are related methods and compositions. HIV causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a condition in humans characterized by clinical features including wasting syndromes, central nervous system degeneration and profound immunosuppression that results in life-threatening opportunistic infections and malignancies. Since its discovery in 1981, HIV type 1 (HIV-1) has led to the death of at least 25 million people worldwide.

  • Publication number: 20230181636
    Abstract: This disclosure provides modified B cells which produce heterologous antibodies and co-express cargo proteins. The modified B cells may be stimulated by binding of a cognate antigen to the heterologous antibodies. The B cells may be reduced or eliminated by contacting the heterologous antibody with an anti-idiotypic antibody. Methods of making, and using the modified B cells for prophylaxis and therapy for a variety of conditions are provided. The B cells are modified at an IgH locus, an IgK locus, and combinations thereof. Modified B cells maintain allelic exclusion.

  • Publication number: 20220315645
    Abstract: Provided are broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) and antigen binding fragments thereof that bind with specificity to epitopes expressed by Hepatitis B vims (HBV). The bNAbs target non-overlapping epitopes on the HBV S antigen (HBsAg). Pharmaceutical compositions that contain the bNAbs, or modified bNAbs, are provided. Combinations of the bNAbs are included, and are useful for prophylaxis and therapy of HBV infection, and for inhibiting development of HBV escape mutations in infected individuals. Expression vectors encoding the bNAbs and antigenic fragments of them are included, as are methods of making the bNAbs and antigenic fragments of them. HBV peptides for use as vaccines are provided, and include at least two non-overlapping epitopes from the HBsAg. Diagnostic reagents comprising the bNAbs or antigenic fragments thereof are provided, as are methods of detecting HBV and diagnosing HBV infection.
