Neutralizing autoantibodies against interferon- (IFN) are associated with severe viral infections but may improve outcomes in IFN-driven autoimmunity. How these antibodies emerge, mature, and function at the molecular level remains unclear. Here, we tracked development of plasma neutralizing activity against all 12 IFNs in multiple human donors over years. Plasma neutralization frequently…
In 1987, biologists captured the last free-flying condor to transfer it to captivity, and the largest flying North American bird species was officially declared extinct in the wild.
