… role for extra-neutralizing, eg Fc-mediated, 2G12 activities under the conditions of the
experiment, and (3) a critical role for 2G12 inhibition of virus interaction with lectin, eg DC-SIGN, …

HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies induced by native-like envelope trimers

…, JW Back, WC Koff, JP Julien, EG Rakasz… - Science, 2015 - science.org
… Although almost all Env protein immunogens (eg, gp120 monomers, uncleaved gp140s) can
raise NAbs against various neutralization-sensitive tier 1 viruses, the induction of NAbs that …

Highly potent HIV-specific antibody neutralization in vitro translates into effective protection against mucosal SHIV challenge in vivo

B Moldt, EG Rakasz, N Schultz… - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences
Most animal studies using passive administration of HIV broadly neutralizing monoclonal
antibodies (bnMAbs) have associated protection against high-dose mucosal viral challenge …

[HTML][HTML] A rhesus macaque model of Asian-lineage Zika virus infection

…, SR Permar, SL O'Connor, EG Rakasz… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Infection with Asian-lineage Zika virus (ZIKV) has been associated with Guillain–Barré
syndrome and fetal abnormalities, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. …

Broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies 2F5 and 4E10 directed against the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 gp41 membrane-proximal external region …

AJ Hessell, EG Rakasz, DM Tehrani, M Huber… - Journal of …, 2010 - Am Soc Microbiol
The membrane-proximal external region (MPER) of HIV-1, located at the C terminus of the
gp41 ectodomain, is conserved and crucial for viral fusion. Three broadly neutralizing …

Gag-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes recognize infected cells before AIDS-virus integration and viral protein expression

JB Sacha, C Chung, EG Rakasz… - The Journal of …, 2007 - journals.aai.org
CD8+ T cells are a key focus of vaccine development efforts for HIV. However, there is no
clear consensus as to which of the nine HIV proteins should be used for vaccination. The early …

Subdominant CD8+ T-Cell Responses Are Involved in Durable Control of AIDS Virus Replication

TC Friedrich, LE Valentine, LJ Yant, EG Rakasz… - Journal of …, 2007 - Am Soc Microbiol
… Vertical boxes, eg, that corresponding to animal 95071 for Nef YY9-159, indicate responses
