Epitope-focused immunogens targeting the hepatitis C virus glycoproteins induce broadly neutralizing antibodies

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Sabrina Susan Vollers, Andreas Scheck, Stéphane Rosset

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection causes similar to 290,000 annual human deaths despite the highly effective antiviral treatment available. Several viral immune evasion mechanisms have hampered the development of an effective vaccine against HCV, among the ...

De novo protein design enables the precise induction of RSV-neutralizing antibodies

Patricia Corthésy Henrioud, Sandrine Madeleine Suzanne Georgeon, Luciano Andres Abriata, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Elisa Oricchio, Jaume Bonet Martinez, Fabian Sesterhenn, Che Yang, Sabrina Susan Vollers, Mélanie Evelyne Villard, Elie Charles Eugène Dheilly, Stéphane Rosset, Yujia Wang

De novo protein design has been successful in expanding the natural protein repertoire. However, most de novo proteins lack biological function, presenting a major methodological challenge. In vaccinology, the induction of precise antibody responses remain ...

A computationally designed chimeric antigen receptor provides a small-molecule safety switch for T-cell therapy

George Coukos, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Jaume Bonet Martinez, Pablo Gainza Cirauqui, Sabrina Susan Vollers, Sailan Shui

The activity of CAR-T cells is reversibly halted with a small-molecule drug. Approaches to increase the activity of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells against solid tumors may also increase the risk of toxicity and other side effects. To improve the s ...

Boosting subdominant neutralizing antibody responses with a computationally designed epitope-focused immunogen

Sai Reddy, Patricia Corthésy Henrioud, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Jaume Bonet Martinez, Fabian Sesterhenn, Che Yang, Pablo Gainza Cirauqui, Sabrina Susan Vollers, Stéphane Rosset

Throughout the last several decades, vaccination has been key to prevent and eradicate infectious diseases. However, many pathogens (e.g., respiratory syncytial virus [RSV], influenza, dengue, and others) have resisted vaccine development efforts, largely ...

Rosetta FunFolDes - A general framework for the computational design of functional proteins

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Anne Marie-Thérèse Suzanne Billet, Jaume Bonet Martinez, Fabian Sesterhenn, Che Yang, Sabrina Susan Vollers, Freyr Sverrisson, Mélanie Evelyne Villard, Andreas Scheck, Sarah Wehrle, Roxanne Marine Lourman, Stéphane Rosset, Karen Schriever

The robust computational design of functional proteins has the potential to deeply impact translational research and broaden our understanding of the determinants of protein function and stability. The low success rates of computational design protocols an ...
