    Abstract Monoclonal antibodies have revolutionized the treatment of human diseases, which has made them the fastest-growing class of therapeutics, with global sales expected to reach $346.6 billion USD by 2028. Advances in antibody engineering and development have led to the creation of increasingly sophisticated antibody-based therapeutics (e.g. bispecific antibodies and chimeric antigen receptor T cells). However, approaches for antibody discovery have remained comparatively grounded in conventional yet reliable in vitro assays. Breakthrough developments in high-throughput single B-cell sequencing and immunoglobulin proteomic serology, however, have enabled the identification of high-affinity antibodies directly from endogenous B cells or circulating immunoglobulin produced in vivo. Moreover, advances in artificial intelligence offer vast potential for antibody discovery and design with large-scale repertoire datasets positioned as the optimal source of training data for such applications. We highlight advances and recent trends in how these technologies are being applied to antibody repertoire analysis.

    Abstract We used plasma IgG proteomics to study the molecular composition and temporal durability of polyclonal IgG antibodies triggered by ancestral SARS-CoV-2 infection, vaccination, or their combination ("hybrid immunity"). Infection, whether primary or post-vaccination, mainly triggered an anti-spike antibody response to the S2 domain, while vaccination predominantly induced anti-RBD antibodies. Immunological imprinting persisted after a secondary (hybrid) exposure, with >60% of the ensuing serological response originating from the initial antibodies generated during the first exposure. We highlight one instance where hybrid immunity arising from breakthrough infection resulted in a marked increase in the breadth and affinity of a highly abundant vaccination-elicited plasma IgG antibody, SC27. With an intrinsic binding affinity surpassing a theoretical maximum (K
    Highlights: ▪ Infection and vaccination elicit unique IgG antibody profiles at the molecular level▪ Immunological imprinting varies between infection (S2/NTD) and vaccination (RBD)▪ Hybrid immunity maintains the imprint of first infection or first vaccination▪ Hybrid immune IgG plasma mAbs have superior neutralization potency and breadth.

    Abstract N-glycosylation at the antibody variable domain has emerged as an important modification influencing antibody function. Despite its significance, information regarding its role and regulation remains limited. To address this gap, we comprehensively explored antibody structures housing N-glycosylation within the Protein Data Bank, yielding fresh insights into this intricate landscape. Our findings revealed that among 208 structures, N-glycosylation was more prevalent in human and mouse antibodies containing IGHV1-8 and IGHV2-2 germline genes, respectively. Moreover, our research highlights the potential for somatic hypermutation to introduce N-glycosylation sites by substituting polar residues (Ser or Thr) in germline variable genes with asparagine. Notably, our study underscores the prevalence of N-glycosylation in antiviral antibodies, especially anti-HIV. Besides antigen-antibody interaction, our findings suggest that N-glycosylation may impact antibody specificity, affinity, and avidity by influencing Fab dimer formation and complementary-determining region orientation. We also identified different glycan structures in HIV and SARS-CoV-2 antibody proteomic datasets, highlighting disparities from the N-glycan structures between PDB antibodies and biological repertoires further highlighting the complexity of N-glycosylation patterns. Our findings significantly enrich our understanding of the N-glycosylation's multifaceted characteristics within the antibody variable domain. Additionally, they underscore the pressing imperative for a more comprehensive characterization of its impact on antibody function.

    Abstract Recent developments of high-throughput technologies are enabling the molecular-level analysis and bioinformatic mining of antibody-mediated (humoral) immunity in humans at an unprecedented level. These approaches explore either the sequence space of B-cell receptor repertoires using next-generation deep sequencing (BCR-seq), or the amino acid identities of antibody in blood using protein mass spectrometry (Ig-seq), or both. Generalizable principles about the molecular composition of the protective humoral immune response are being defined, and as such, the field could supersede traditional methods for the development of diagnostics, vaccines, and antibody therapeutics. Three key challenges remain and have driven recent advances: (1) incorporation of innovative techniques for paired BCR-seq to ascertain the complete antibody variable-domain VH:VL clonotype, (2) integration of proteomic Ig-seq with BCR-seq to reveal how the serum antibody repertoire compares with the antibody repertoire encoded by circulating B cells, and (3) a demand to link antibody sequence data to functional meaning (binding and protection).

We highlight one instance where hybrid immunity arising from breakthrough infection resulted in a marked increase in the breadth and affinity of a highly abundant vaccination-elicited plasma IgG antibody, SC27. With an intrinsic binding affinity surpassing a theoretical maximum (K<sub>D</sub> < 5 pM), SC27 demonstrated potent neutralization of various SARS-CoV-2 variants and SARS-like zoonotic viruses (IC<sub>50</sub> ~0.1–1.75 nM) and provided robust protection in vivo. Cryo-EM structural analysis unveiled that SC27 binds to the RBD class 1/4 epitope, with both VH and VL significantly contributing to the binding interface. These findings suggest that exceptionally broad and potent antibodies can be prevalent in plasma and can largely dictate the nature of serological neutralization.

    Abstract Repressor of primer (Rop, or ROM, RNA I modulator) is a 63 amino acid four-helix bundle protein that exists in solution as an anti-parallel homodimer. This protein has been extensively studied, including by X-ray crystallography, NMR, rational design, and combinatorial mutagenesis. Previous NMR experiments with wild-type Rop were carried out at pH 2.3 and pH 6.3. In this paper, we report complete N-H backbone assignments for three variants of Rop under the same pH 6.3 conditions: wild-type Rop; a cysteine-free pseudo-wild type variant (C38A C52V); and a core-repacked variant of the Cys-free variant (T19V L41V C38A C52V). These assignments enable functional and dynamic studies of wild-type and Cys-free variants of Rop.

    Abstract The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike protein is a critical component of coronavirus disease 2019 vaccines and diagnostics and is also a therapeutic target. However, the spike protein is difficult to produce recombinantly because it is a large trimeric class I fusion membrane protein that is metastable and heavily glycosylated. We recently developed a prefusion-stabilized spike variant, termed HexaPro for six stabilizing proline substitutions, that can be expressed with a yield of >30 mg/L in ExpiCHO cells. This protocol describes an optimized workflow for expressing and biophysically characterizing rationally engineered spike proteins in Freestyle 293 and ExpiCHO cell lines. Although we focus on HexaPro, this protocol has been used to purify over a hundred different spike variants in our laboratories. We also provide guidance on expression quality control, long-term storage, and uses in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. The entire protocol, from transfection to biophysical characterization, can be completed in 7 d by researchers with basic tissue cell culture and protein purification expertise.

    Abstract Most proteins are only barely stable, which impedes research, complicates therapeutic applications, and makes proteins susceptible to pathologically destabilizing mutations. Our ability to predict the thermodynamic consequences of even single point mutations is still surprisingly limited, and established methods of measuring stability are slow. Recent advances are bringing protein stability studies into the high-throughput realm. Some methods are based on inferential read-outs such as activity, proteolytic resistance or split-protein fragment reassembly. Other methods use miniaturization of direct measurements, such as intrinsic fluorescence, H/D exchange, cysteine reactivity, aggregation and hydrophobic dye binding (DSF). Protein engineering based on statistical analysis (consensus and correlated occurrences of amino acids) is promising, but much work remains to understand and implement these methods.

    Abstract Rabbits have been used extensively as a model system for the elucidation of the mechanism of immunoglobulin diversification and for the production of antibodies. We employed Next Generation Sequencing to analyze Ig germline V and J gene usage, CDR3 length and amino acid composition, and gene conversion frequencies within the functional (transcribed) IgG repertoire of the New Zealand white rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Several previously unannotated rabbit heavy chain variable (VH) and light chain variable (VL) germline elements were deduced bioinformatically using multidimensional scaling and k-means clustering methods. We estimated the gene conversion frequency in the rabbit at 23% of IgG sequences with a mean gene conversion tract length of 59±36 bp. Sequencing and gene conversion analysis of the chicken, human, and mouse repertoires revealed that gene conversion occurs much more extensively in the chicken (frequency 70%, tract length 79±57 bp), was observed to a small, yet statistically significant extent in humans, but was virtually absent in mice.
