Three monoclonal antibodies targeting the mpox virus protein A35 have shown strong protection against severe disease in laboratory and animal models, indicating potential for new therapeutic approaches. doi.org/g9zg4h
Three potent human antibodies against mpox pave way for new protective therapies
A team from the Microbiology Department at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has discovered three powerful monoclonal antibodies from a person who had previously been infected with mpox (formerly known as monkeypox).

4/ Structural studies revealed all 3 mAbs target a highly conserved epitope in the A35 dimer groove, shared across orthopoxviruses. This explains their breadth and potency.

7/ Together, our findings establish A35 as a critical therapeutic target for mpox and related orthopoxviruses, paving the way for next-generation antibody therapies and improved vaccines.

🚨New Paper in Cell 🧵🔎

Happy to share our work led by the @camilahcoelho.bsky.social, on mAbs against mpox.

We were very excited (and lucky!) to contribute to this collab. effort.

🚨 New Publication!!!

I’m thrilled to share our latest study, “Clonotype-Enriched Somatic Hypermutations Drive Affinity Maturation of a Public Human Antibody Targeting an Occluded Sarbecovirus Epitope”.

Clonotype-enriched somatic hypermutations drive affinity maturation of a public human antibody targeting an occluded sarbecovirus epitope
Rao et al. demonstrate that convergent somatic hypermutations in the light chain, enriched within a sarbecovirus-specific public antibody clonotype, drive affinity maturation. This antibody targets a ...

Labels matter and they influence policy. Thank you to the brilliant @camilahcoelho.bsky.social for making us rethink our default scientific terms to take away the unintended stigma to create a safer space. People like you help change the world.

We urge researchers, editors, and public health professionals to:
– Reassess default epidemiological labels
– Prioritize accuracy over legacy language
– Center transmission routes, not identities
