The GamEvac-Combi Ebola vaccine, which employs rVSV and rAd5 vectors in a heterologous prime-boost format, was found to be safe and immunogenic in healthy adults in a phase 1-2 clinical clinical trial. frontiersin.org/journals/immun… #Virology #Vaccine #ClinicalTrials #EbolaVaccine

Our study on CoVFit, an AI that predicts the fitness of SARS-CoV-2 from spike protein sequences, is now out in Nat Commun! CoVFit helps uncover viral evolutionary mechanisms, detect emerging variants, and forecast viral evolution! nature.com/articles/s4146…

🧬 New BASV Vaccine Study 🧪 Researchers immunised rabbits with four vaccine types targeting BASV glycoprotein and assessed neutralising antibodies using a pseudotyped virus microneutralisation assay. nature.com/articles/s4159… #Vaccines #BASV #VaccineDevelopment #PseudotypedVirus

🔬New study shows how pseudotyped viruses help safely assess antibody functions beyond neutralisation, like ADCC and phagocytosis, against COVID-19 variants. A key tool for vaccine development! frontiersin.org/journals/immun… #COVID19 #Vaccine #Immunology #PseudotypedVirus #SARSCoV2

SARS-CoV-2 variants NB.1.8.1 and XFG are spreading fast. In this new paper, we explain their high growth advantage. 1. XFG is strong in immune evasion but shows lower ACE2 binding. 2. NB.1.8.1 is very well-balanced between immune evasion and ACE2 usage. thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

Can flu spread to another cell without ever exiting the first one? Yes! Through little tunnels (TNTs) that form between cells! Check out Daniel's exciting paper and beautifully animated thread below to find out more!!! 🔬🔬🧫🧫

A live NS1-deficient flu vaccine shows promise in protecting against cattle-origin H5N1 viruses spreading in the US. One nasal dose protected mice from deadly infection. nature.com/articles/s4154… #H5N1 #FluVaccine #OneHealth
