Identification and structure of a multidonor class of head-directed influenza-neutralizing antibodies reveal the mechanism for its recurrent elicitation

Sao-Fong Cheung, Crystal ; Fruehwirth, Alexander ; Paparoditis, Philipp Carl Georg ; Shen, Chen-Hsiang ; Foglierini, Mathilde ; Joyce, M. Gordon ; Leung, Kwanyee ; Piccoli, Luca ; Rawi, Reda ; Silacci-Fregni, Chiara ; Tsybovsky, Yaroslav ; Verardi, Raffaello ; Wang, Lingshu ; Wang, Shuishu ; Yang, Eun Sung ; Zhang, Baoshan ; Zhang, Yi ; Chuang, Gwo-Yu ; Corti, Davide ; Mascola, John R. ; Shapiro, Lawrence ; Kwong, Peter D. ; Lanzavecchia, Antonio ; Zhou, Tongqing

Multidonor antibodies are of interest for vaccine design because they can in principle be elicited in the general population by a common set of immunogens. For influenza, multidonor antibodies have been observed against the hemagglutinin (HA) stem, but not the immunodominant HA head. Here, we identify and characterize a multidonor antibody class (LPAF-a class) targeting the HA head. This class...

Macrophage death following influenza vaccination initiates the inflammatory response that promotes dendritic cell function in the draining lymph node

Chatziandreou, Nikolaos ; Farsakoglu, Yagmur ; Palomino-Segura, Miguel ; D’Antuono, Rocco ; Pizzagalli, Diego Ulisse ; Sallusto, Federica ; Lukacs-Kornek, Veronika ; Uguccioni, Mariagrazia ; Corti, Davide ; Turley, Shannon J. ; Lanzavecchia, Antonio ; Carroll, Michael C. ; Gonzalez, Santiago F.

The mechanism by which inflammation influences the adaptive response to vaccines is not fully understood. Here, we examine the role of lymph node macrophages (LNMs) in the induction of the cytokine storm triggered by inactivated influenza virus vaccine. Following vaccination, LNMs undergo inflammasome-independent necrosis-like death that is reliant on MyD88 and Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7)...

Influenza hemagglutinin membrane anchor

Viruses with membranes fuse them with cellular membranes, to transfer their genomes into cells at the beginning of infection. For Influenza virus, the membrane glycoprotein involved in fusion is the hemagglutinin (HA), the 3D structure of which is known from X-ray crystallographic studies. The soluble ectodomain fragments used in these studies lacked the “membrane anchor” portion of the...
