Happy to share our latest work by Yexin Yang et al. on antibody-mediated control of endogenous retroviruses in mice. In the process, we found “natural antibodies” with broad reactivity against enveloped viruses. Here is how “panviral” antibodies work 🧵(1/) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n

What if TCRs didn’t need to see peptides to bind MHC? A newly identified human TCR docks sideways onto HLA-DQ2.5—like an antibody. This could reshape how we think about antigen recognition 🧐🧐 Monash University Monash Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences Rossjohn lab Nature Communications Congrats!




Our work co-led by Scripps Research Graduate Program students Dominic Haas & Jonathan Melamed shows that microbial tropism determines how metabolites are presented to #MAIT cells. Thanks to NIH, U.S. National Science Foundation, & NSERC / CRSNG, & Scripps Research for supporting our research!
