Journal: Sci Immunol / Year: 2025 Title: Anti-immune complex antibodies are elicited during repeated immunization with HIV Env immunogens. Authors: Sharidan Brown / Aleksandar Antanasijevic / Leigh M Sewall / Daniel Montiel Garcia / James Ferguson / Philip J M Brouwer / Rogier W Sanders / Andrew B Ward / Abstract: Vaccination strategies against HIV-1 aim to elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) using prime-boost regimens with HIV envelope (Env) immunogens. Epitope mapping has shown that early antibody ...Vaccination strategies against HIV-1 aim to elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) using prime-boost regimens with HIV envelope (Env) immunogens. Epitope mapping has shown that early antibody responses are directed to easily accessible nonneutralizing epitopes on Env instead of bnAb epitopes. Autologously neutralizing antibody responses appear upon boosting, once immunodominant epitopes are saturated. Here, we use electron microscopy-based polyclonal epitope mapping (EMPEM) to elucidate how repeated immunization with HIV Env SOSIP immunogens results in the generation of Ab2α anti-idiotypic antibodies in rabbits and rhesus macaques. We present the structures of six anti-immune complex antibodies and find that they target idiotopes composed of framework regions of antibodies bound to Env. Examination of cryo-electron microscopy density enabled prediction of sequences for an anti-immune complex antibody, the paratope of which is enriched with aromatic amino acids. This work sheds light on current vaccine development efforts for HIV, as well as for other pathogens in which repeated exposure to antigen is required.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
