Human VH1-69 Gene-Encoded Human Monoclonal Antibodies against Staphylococcus aureus IsdB Use at Least Three Distinct Modes of Binding To Inhibit Bacterial Growth and Pathogenesis
The human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus causes a wide range of infections, including skin abscesses and sepsis. There is currently no licensed vaccine to prevent S. aureus infection, and its treatment has become increasingly difficult due to antibiotic resistance. One potential way to inhibit S. au...

The human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus causes a wide range of infections, including skin abscesses and sepsis. There is currently no licensed vaccine to prevent S. aureus infection, and its treatment has become increasingly difficult due to antibiotic resistance. One potential way to inhibit S. aureus pathogenesis is to prevent iron acquisition. The iron-regulated surface determinant (Isd) system has evolved in S. aureus to acquire hemoglobin from the human host as a source of heme-iron. In this study, we investigated the molecular and structural basis for antibody-mediated correlates against a member of the Isd system, IsdB. The association of immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region IGHV1-69 gene-encoded human monoclonal antibodies with the response against S. aureus IsdB is described using structural and functional studies to define the importance of this antibody class. We also determine that somatic hypermutation in the development of these antibodies hinders rather than fine-tunes the immune response to IsdB.Staphylococcus aureus is an important human pathogen that infects nearly every human tissue. Like most organisms, the acquisition of nutrient iron is necessary for its survival. One route by which it obtains this metal is through the iron-regulated surface determinant (Isd) system that scavenges iron from the hemoglobin of the host.
