    Abstract Human high-affinity antibodies to pathogens often recognize unrelated ligands. The molecular origin and the role of this polyreactivity are largely unknown. Here, we report that HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) are frequently polyreactive, cross-reacting with non-HIV-1 molecules, including self-antigens. Mutating bNAb genes to increase HIV-1 binding and neutralization also results in de novo polyreactivity. Unliganded paratopes of polyreactive bNAbs with improved HIV-1 neutralization exhibit a conformational flexibility, which contributes to enhanced affinity of bNAbs to various HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins and non-HIV antigens. Binding adaptation of polyreactive bNAbs to the divergent ligands mainly involves hydrophophic interactions. Plasticity of bNAbs’ paratopes may, therefore, facilitate accommodating divergent viral variants, but it simultaneously triggers promiscuous binding to non-HIV-1 antigens. Thus, a certain level of polyreactivity can be a mark of adaptable antibodies displaying optimal pathogens’ recognition.

    Abstract Purpose of review: The discovery of broadly neutralizing HIV-1 antibodies (bNAbs) has provided a framework for vaccine design and created new hope toward an HIV-1 cure. These antibodies recognize the HIV-1 Envelope and inhibit viral fusion with unprecedented breadth and potency. Beyond their unique neutralization capacity, bNAbs also activate immune cells and interfere with viral spread through nonneutralizing activities. Here, we review the landscape of bNAbs functions and their contribution to clinical efficacy.
    Recent findings: Parallel evaluation of bNAbs nonneutralizing activities using in vivo and in vitro models have revealed how their importance varies across antibodies and strains. Nonneutralizing bNAbs functions target both infected cells and viral particles, leading to their destruction through various mechanisms. Reservoir targeting and prevention in context of suboptimal neutralization highly depends on bNAbs polyfunctionality. We recently showed that bNAbs tether virions at the surface of infected cells, impairing release and forming immune complexes, with consequences that are still to be understood.
    Summary: Nonneutralizing activities of bNAbs target infected cells, virions, and immune complexes, promoting viral clearance and possibly improving immune responses. We review how these functions participate to the efficacy of bNAbs and how they can be manipulated to improve bNAbs therapies.

    Abstract Pregnancy complications occur frequently and are particularly prevalent during the first trimester. They are caused by a multitude of factors, including karyotypic, genetic or environmental conditions, congenital infections and inflammation. The molecular mechanisms leading to placental complications under inflammatory conditions remain unclear. In this review, we discuss how uncontrolled inflammation, triggered by viral infections or other diseases can lead to placental complications. We first highlight the importance of syncytins, ancestral retroviral genes co-opted by mammals including humans, millions of years ago for the process of placenta formation. We then focus on recent advances elucidating how interferon-induced transmembrane (IFITM) proteins, antiviral proteins rendering cells refractory to viral infections, interfere with placental development.

    Abstract The complement system can be viewed as a "moderator" of innate immunity, "instructor" of humoral immunity, and "regulator" of adaptive immunity. While sex is known to affect humoral and cellular immune systems, its impact on complement in humans and rhesus macaques, a commonly used non-human primate model system, has not been well studied. To address this knowledge gap, we analyzed serum samples from 90 humans and 72 rhesus macaques for the abundance and activity of the complement system components. While sequences of cascade proteins were highly conserved, dramatically different levels were observed between species. Whereas the low levels detected in rhesus samples raised questions about the suitability of the test for use with macaque samples, differences in levels of complement proteins were observed in male and female humans. Levels of total and antibody-dependent deposition of C1q and C3b on a glycosylated antigen differed between humans and rhesus, suggesting differential recognition of glycans and balance between classical and alternative activation pathways. Functional differences in complement-mediated lysis of antibody-sensitized cells were observed in multiple assays and showed that human females frequently exhibited higher lytic activity than human males or rhesus macaques, which typically did not exhibit such sex-associated differences. Other differences between species and sexes were observed in more narrow contexts-for only certain antibodies, antigens, or assays. Collectively, these results expand knowledge of sex-associated differences in the complement system in humans, identifying differences absent from rhesus macaques.IMPORTANCEThe complement system is a critical part of host defense to many bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. In parallel, rich epidemiological, clinical, and biomedical research evidence demonstrates that sex is an important biological variable in immunity, and many sex-specific differences in immune system are intimately tied with disease outcomes. This study focuses on the intersection of these two factors to define the impact of sex on complement pathway components and activities. This work expands our knowledge of sex-associated differences in the complement system in humans and also identifies the differences that appear to be absent in rhesus macaques, a popular non-human primate model. Whereas differences between species suggest potential limitations in the ability of macaque model to recapitulate human biology, knowledge of sex-based differences in humans has the potential to inform clinical research and practice.
