Journal ArticleDOI
Interbilayer-crosslinked multilamellar vesicles as synthetic vaccines for potent humoral and cellular immune responses
James J. Moon,Heikyung Suh,Heikyung Suh,Anna Bershteyn,Matthias Stephan,Haipeng Liu,Bonnie Huang,Mashaal Sohail,Samantha S. Luo,Soong Ho Um,Htet A. Khant,Jessica T. Goodwin,Jenelyn Ramos,Wah Chiu,Darrell J. Irvine +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe interbilayer-crosslinked multilamellar vesicles formed by crosslinking headgroups of adjacent lipid bilayers within multilevel-vesicles, which can elicit endogenous T-cell and antibody responses comparable to those for the strongest vaccine vectors.

Interbilayer-crosslinked multilamellar vesicles as synthetic vaccines for potent humoral and cellular immune responses
James J. Moon,Heikyung Suh,Heikyung Suh,Anna Bershteyn,Matthias Stephan,Haipeng Liu,Bonnie Huang,Mashaal Sohail,Samantha S. Luo,Soong Ho Um,Htet A. Khant,Jessica T. Goodwin,Jenelyn Ramos,Wah Chiu,Darrell J. Irvine +14 more
TL;DR: It is found that interbilayer-crosslinked multilamellar vesicles (ICMVs) form an extremely potent whole-protein vaccine, eliciting endogenous T-cell and antibody responses comparable to the strongest vaccine vectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superparamagnetic gadonanotubes are high-performance MRI contrast agents
Balaji Sitharaman,Kyle Kissell,Keith B. Hartman,Lesa A. Tran,A. Baikalov,Irene Rusakova,Y.Y. Sun,Htet A. Khant,Steven J. Ludtke,Wah Chiu,Sabrina Laus,Éva Tóth,Lothar Helm,Andre E. Merbach,Lon J. Wilson +14 more
TL;DR: This work reports the nanoscale loading and confinement of aquated Gd3+n-ion clusters within ultra-short single-walled carbon nanotubes (US-tubes) that are linear superparamagnetic molecular magnets with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) efficacies 40 to 90 times larger than any Gd 3+-based contrast agent (CA) in current clinical use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Close membrane-membrane proximity induced by Ca(2+)-dependent multivalent binding of synaptotagmin-1 to phospholipids.
Demet Araç,Xiaocheng Chen,Htet A. Khant,Josep Ubach,Steven J. Ludtke,Masahide Kikkawa,Arthur E. Johnson,Wah Chiu,Thomas C. Südhof,Josep Rizo +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Ca2+ induces high-affinity simultaneous binding of synaptotagmin to two membranes, bringing them into close proximity and accelerates membrane fusion through the highly positive electrostatic potential of its C2B domain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interprotofilament interactions between Alzheimer's Aβ1–42 peptides in amyloid fibrils revealed by cryoEM
Rui Zhang,Xiaoyan Hu,Htet A. Khant,Steven J. Ludtke,Wah Chiu,Michael F. Schmid,Carl Frieden,Jin-Moo Lee +7 more
TL;DR: This model of mature Aβ1–42 fibrils is markedly different from previous cryoEM models of A β1–40 fibrILS, and the C terminus of Aβ forms the inside wall of the hollow core, which is supported by partial proteolysis analysis.
