Structural and Functional Bases for Broad-Spectrum Neutralization of Avian and Human Influenza A Viruses
Jianhua Sui,William C. Hwang,Sandra Elizabeth Pérez,Ge Wei,Daniel Aird,Li-Mei Chen,Eugenio Santelli,Boguslaw Stec,Greg Cadwell,Maryam Ali,Hongquan Wan,Akikazu Murakami,Anuradha Yammanuru,Thomas Han,Nancy J. Cox,Laurie A. Bankston,Ruben O. Donis,Robert C. Liddington,Wayne A. Marasco +18 more
TL;DR: The crystal structure of one such nAb bound to H5 shows that it blocks infection by inserting its heavy chain into a conserved pocket in the stem region, thus preventing membrane fusion, and suggests that nAb-based immunotherapy is a promising strategy for broad-spectrum protection against seasonal and pandemic influenza viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural basis of influenza virus neutralization
Thomas Han,Wayne A. Marasco +1 more
TL;DR: Current knowledge of the structure‐based mechanisms contributing to the neutralization and neutralization escape of influenza viruses are reviewed and the potential for this structure-based approach to overcome the obstacles in developing the highly desired “universal” influenza vaccine is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Anti-CCR4 Minibody Gene Transfer for the Treatment of Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma
Thomas Han,Ussama M. Abdel-Motal,De-Kuan Chang,Jianhua Sui,Asli Muvaffak,James Campbell,Quan Karen Zhu,Thomas S. Kupper,Wayne A. Marasco +8 more
TL;DR: The data demonstrate that the in vivo anti-tumor activity of h1567 minibody is mediated, at least in part, through CD16A+ immune effector cell ADCC mechanisms, and further demonstrate the utility of the AAV-minibody gene transfer system in the rapid evaluation of candidate anti-Tumor mAbs and the potency of h 1567 as a potential novel therapy for CTCL.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fine epitope mapping of monoclonal antibodies against hemagglutinin of a highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza virus using yeast surface display.
Thomas Han,Jianhua Sui,Andrew S. Bennett,Robert C. Liddington,Ruben O. Donis,Quan Zhu,Wayne A. Marasco +6 more
TL;DR: A robust yeast display system for fine epitope mapping of viral surface hemagglutinin (HA)-specific antibodies is demonstrated, giving insight into the mechanism underlying its potent inhibition of virus binding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutations in Influenza A Virus Neuraminidase and Hemagglutinin Confer Resistance against a Broadly Neutralizing Hemagglutinin Stem Antibody.
Kristina L. Prachanronarong,Aneth S. Canale,Ping Liu,Mohan Somasundaran,Shurong Hou,Yu Ping Poh,Thomas Han,Quan Zhu,Nicholas Renzette,Konstantin B. Zeldovich,Timothy F. Kowalik,N.

TL;DR: W whole-genome population sequencing enables the identification of viral resistance mutations responding to antibody-induced selective pressure and shows that NA mutations mediate the escape of neutralization by antibodies against HA, highlighting the importance of a balance between HA and NA for optimal virus function.
