Abstract

Elicitation of antibodies to the influenza hemagglutinin stem is a critical part of universal influenza vaccine strategies. While numerous broadly reactive stem antibodies have been isolated, our understanding of how these antibodies mature within the human B cell repertoire is limited. Here, we isolated and tracked two stem-specific antibody lineages over a decade in a single participant that received multiple seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccinations. Despite similar binding and neutralization profiles, antibodies from these lineages utilized fundamentally different interactions to engage the central epitope on the influenza stem. Structural analysis of an unmutated common ancestor from one lineage identified critical residues that were the main drivers of increased affinity and breadth to group 1 influenza subtypes. These observations demonstrate the heterogeneous pathways by which stem-specific antibodies can mature within the human B cell repertoire.

期刊介绍： Structure aims to publish papers of exceptional interest in the field of structural biology. The journal strives to be essential reading for structural biologists, as well as biologists and biochemists that are interested in macromolecular structure and function. Structure strongly encourages the submission of manuscripts that present structural and molecular insights into biological function and mechanism. Other reports that address fundamental questions in structural biology, such as structure-based examinations of protein evolution, folding, and/or design, will also be considered. We will consider the application of any method, experimental or computational, at high or low resolution, to conduct structural investigations, as long as the method is appropriate for the biological, functional, and mechanistic question(s) being addressed. Likewise, reports describing single-molecule analysis of biological mechanisms are welcome. In general, the editors encourage submission of experimental structural studies that are enriched by an analysis of structure-activity relationships and will not consider studies that solely report structural information unless the structure or analysis is of exceptional and broad interest. Studies reporting only homology models, de novo models, or molecular dynamics simulations are also discouraged unless the models are informed by or validated by novel experimental data; rationalization of a large body of existing experimental evidence and making testable predictions based on a model or simulation is often not considered sufficient.
