Caenorhabditis elegans reveals novel Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence mechanism.

Abstract:

:The susceptibility of Caenorhabditis elegans to different virulent phenotypes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa makes the worms an excellent model for studying host-pathogen interactions. Including the recently described liquid killing, five different killing assays are now available offering superb possibilities for performing high-throughput screens for novel antibiotics using a whole-body infection system.

  • In vivo protection by broadly neutralizing HIV antibodies.

    abstract::Passive immunization studies, including a recent one by Pegu et al., have repeatedly shown that HIV-specific broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) protect rhesus macaques from HIV acquisition. In vitro neutralization potency and in vivo protection correlate very strongly, supporting the quest for an HIV vaccine that...
