HPIV3 F was recently stabilized in the preF conformation and induced higher serum neutralizing titers than the HPIV3 postF To focus upon B cells producing neutralizing antibodies, we modified our assay to sort individual B cells onto irradiated 3T3 feeder cells expressing CD40L, IL-2, and IL-21 to allow for higher throughput screening of culture supernatants for neutralization prior to antibody cloning, as described 27 . Using this approach, we found that 14% of IgD -HPIV3 preF-binding B cells sorted from tonsils produced HPIV3 neutralizing antibodies, as compared to 5% from the spleen and 2% from peripheral blood (Fig. 3b) . ./cache/cord-102551-8igfuaw2.txt ./txt/cord-102551-8igfuaw2.txt
