Journal ArticleDOI

Co-evolution of a broadly neutralizing HIV-1 antibody and founder virus

TL;DR: The isolation, evolution and structure of a broadly neutralizing antibody from an African donor followed from the time of infection and its co-crystal structure revealed a new loop-based mechanism of CD4-binding-site recognition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stochasticity in Transcriptional Regulation: Origins, Consequences, and Mathematical Representations

TL;DR: Stochastic bistability where the deterministic equations predict monostability and vice-versa is found; among them, bifurcations driven solely by changing the rate of operator fluctuations even as the underlying deterministic system remains unchanged are found.
PatentDOI

Focused evolution of hiv-1 neutralizing antibodies revealed by crystal structures and deep sequencing

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used X-ray crystallography and 454 pyrosequencing to characterize additional antibodies from HIV-1-infected individuals, revealing a convergent mode of binding of different antibodies to the same CD4-binding-site epitope.
Journal ArticleDOI

Invertebrate immune systems--not homogeneous, not simple, not well understood.

TL;DR: Data suggest that novel immune capabilities will be found among the different invertebrate phyla, and a model is presented that supports the adaptive value of diversified non‐self recognition molecules in invertebrates.
Journal Article

Cellular interaction in germinal centers. Roles of CD40 ligand and B7-2 in established germinal centers.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the costimulatory roles of CD40: CD40L and B7-2 differ in the GC; administration of anti-CD40L abrogates an established GC reaction, whereas Ab to B 7-2 suppresses Ig hypermutation and entry into the B cell memory compartment.
