Investigating viral glycosylation pathways for drug and vaccine development by Brun, J

“…Chapter 4 focuses on the site-specific glycosylation occupancy, and N- and O-glycan structures attached to virion derived SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoproteins. This glycan signature was compared to a stabilised prefusion trimeric spike, to a monomeric subunit of spike (S1) and to an antigen of a non-stabilised vaccine candidate, revealing subunit shedding of the S1 glycoprotein for the vaccine candidate. …”

Comparative effects of domain-specific human monoclonal antibodies against LGI1 on neuronal excitability by Sell, J, Rahmati, V, Kempfer, M, Irani, SR, Ritzau-Jost, A, Hallermann, S, Geis, C

“…However, only the LRR-specific mAbs increased the number of action potential firing together with enhanced initial instantaneous frequency and promoted spike-frequency adaptation, which were less pronounced after the EPTP mAb. …”

Design of a dual band planar inverted-F antenna for GMS/DCS mobile handset by Fang, Jun
