Production and stabilization of the trimeric influenza hemagglutinin stem domain for potentially broadly protective influenza vaccines

Abstract

Significance: The discovery of neutralizing antibodies that block influenza infection by binding to the hemagglutinin (HA) stem domain raised the hope for broadly protective vaccines. These could avoid the need for annual vaccinations and reduce pandemic threats, and the stem subdomain of the trimeric HA ectodomain would be an ideal antigen. However, its production has proven extremely difficult. Here, we describe a simple procedure resulting in high yields of HA stem trimer recognized identically by a panel of neutralizing antibodies as compared with recognition of the full-length HA ectodomain. Cell-free protein synthesis is followed by a simple refolding procedure to produce a rationally mutated stem in which newly exposed protein surfaces are modified and trimerization is induced and covalently stabilized.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
