Lucas T, Gupta C, Altman M, Sanchez E, Naticchia M, Gagneux P, et al.
Chem . 2022 Jan; 7(12):3393-3411. PMID: 34993358
Influenza A viruses (IAVs) exploit host glycans in airway mucosa for entry and infection. Detection of changes in IAV glycan-binding phenotype can provide early indication of transmissibility and infection potential....

Honigfort D, Altman M, Gagneux P, Godula K
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2021 Sep; 118(40). PMID: 34583992
Membrane-associated mucins protect epithelial cell surfaces against pathogenic threats by serving as nonproductive decoys that capture infectious agents and clear them from the cell surface and by erecting a physical...

Altman M, Gagneux P
Front Immunol . 2019 May; 10:789. PMID: 31134048
The glycocalyx of human cells differs from that of many other mammals by the lack of the sialic acid N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) and increased abundance of its precursor N-acetylneuraminic acid...

Altman M, Angel M, Kosik I, Trovao N, Zost S, Gibbs J, et al.
mBio . 2019 Apr; 10(2). PMID: 30940704
Human antibody-based immunity to influenza A virus is limited by antigenic drift resulting from amino acid substitutions in the hemagglutinin (HA) head domain. Glycan addition can cause large antigenic changes...

Altman M, Angeletti D, Yewdell J
Viral Immunol . 2018 Jan; 31(2):142-149. PMID: 29356618
Influenza A virus (IAV) imposes a significant socioeconomic burden on humanity. Vaccination is effective in only 60% of individuals, even under optimal circumstances. The difficulty stems from the remarkable ability...

Altman M, Bennink J, Yewdell J, Herrin B
Elife . 2015 Aug; 4. PMID: 26252514
Immunoglobulins (Igs) are a crown jewel of jawed vertebrate evolution. Through recombination and mutation of small numbers of genes, Igs can specifically recognize a vast variety of natural and man-made...

Magadan J, Altman M, Ince W, Hickman H, Stevens J, Chevalier A, et al.
PLoS Pathog . 2014 Jun; 10(6):e1004204. PMID: 24945804
Antigenic variation in the globular domain of influenza A virus (IAV) hemagglutinin (HA) precludes effective immunity to this major human pathogen. Although the HA stem is highly conserved between influenza...

Altman M, Chang Y, Xiong X, Tan W
Sci Rep . 2013 Nov; 3:3343. PMID: 24275961
We demonstrate that artificial aptamer-lipid receptors (AR), which anchor on the surface of cells, can modify important cellular functions, including protein binding, enzymatic activity, and intercellular interactions. Streptavidin (SA)-AR-modified CEM...

Shukoor M, Altman M, Han D, Bayrac A, Ocsoy I, Zhu Z, et al.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces . 2012 Jun; 4(6):3007-11. PMID: 22650355
In this work, gold nanoparticles perform Boolean logic operations in response to two proangiogenic targets important in cancer diagnosis and treatment: PDGF and VEGF. In the absence of protein target,...
