#PhageTherapy can fail when the immune system makes antibodies against therapeutic viruses. This study shows that fiber- and nozzle-specific antibodies block phage infection and promote aggregation-driven, Fc receptor-independent phagocytosis.
🧪 #ImmuneSky #structure #virus
buff.ly/J0FOg9g
The image shows a reconstructed model of antibody-induced phage aggregation. Phage therapy, which uses bacteria-specific viruses to treat bacterial infections, is a highly promising therapeutic strategy in the era of precision medicine. Increasing evidence suggests that antibodies generated during phage therapy can affect the efficacy of phage therapy and, in some cases, even lead to treatment failure. However, the molecular mechanisms by which phage-specific antibodies cause phage therapy failure remain to be elucidated. Using Acinetobacter baumannii and its podovirus phage AbP20 as a model, the authors revealed the antibodies targeting phage fiber and nozzle proteins induced the formation of large-sized tail-to-tail phage aggregates which possess reduced infection and facilitated susceptibility to phagocytosis, providing a new clue to understand phage-specific antibodies induced therapy failure. This image was created by Heng Xue and Hang Yang.
