Toward enhancement of antibody thermostability and affinity by computational design in the absence of antigen by Mark Hutchinson, Jeffrey A. Ruffolo, Nantaporn Haskins, Michael Iannotti, Giuliana Vozza, Tony Pham, Nurjahan Mehzabeen, Harini Shandilya, Keith Rickert, Rebecca Croasdale-Wood, Melissa Damschroder, Ying Fu, Andrew Dippel, Jeffrey J. Gray, Gilad Kaplan

“…In this study, DeepAb, a deep learning model for predicting antibody Fv structure directly from sequence, was used in conjunction with single-point experimental deep mutational scanning (DMS) enrichment data to design 200 potentially optimized variants of an anti-hen egg lysozyme (HEL) antibody. We sought to determine whether DeepAb-designed variants containing combinations of beneficial mutations from the DMS exhibit enhanced thermostability and whether this optimization affected their developability profile. …”

Expression and delivery of HA1-M2e antigen using an innovative attenuated Salmonella–mediated delivery system confers promising protection against H9N2 avian influenza challenge by Ram Prasad Aganja, In-Shik Kim, Hyun-Jin Tae, John Hwa Lee

“…Post-challenge, birds immunized with vaccine candidates or the commercial vaccine exhibited minimal to no clinical signs, reduced lesions, lower lung viral titers, and negligible impacts on egg production compared to controls. In conclusion, both plasmids successfully delivered HA1-M2e immunogens through the engineered SG strains, eliciting strong humoral, mucosal, and cell-mediated immune responses and co-stimulating MHC class I and II antigen presentation pathways to provide effective protection against H9N2 AIV with minimal adverse effects.…”
