Peptide-based virucidal drugs

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, viruses were not a major priority for the scientific community. Today, many events have changed the world and the importance of studying viruses, vaccines, and antiviral drugs is fully appreciated. The development of effective ...

Boosting subdominant neutralizing antibody responses with a computationally designed epitope-focused immunogen

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Jaume Bonet Martinez, Sai Reddy, Pablo Gainza Cirauqui, Fabian Sesterhenn, Stéphane Rosset, Che Yang, Patricia Corthésy Henrioud, Sabrina Susan Vollers

Throughout the last several decades, vaccination has been key to prevent and eradicate infectious diseases. However, many pathogens (e.g., respiratory syncytial virus [RSV], influenza, dengue, and others) have resisted vaccine development efforts, largely ...

Severe viral respiratory infections in children with IFIH1 loss-of-function mutations

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti, Istvan Bartha, Christian Hammer, Samira Asgari, Thomas Junier, Paul Jack Mc Laren

Viral respiratory infections are usually mild and self-limiting; still they exceptionally result in life-threatening infections in previously healthy children. To investigate a potential genetic cause, we recruited 120 previously healthy children requiring ...

Broad-spectrum Antiviral Nanoparticles : a morphological CryoEM Study on the Interaction of Nanoparticles and Viruses

Marie Müller

Viral infections affect millions of people every year, yet broad-spectrum virucidal therapies are not available. Antiviral substances in current use act on specific viral mechanisms against only a small number of viruses. Virustatic materials interfere wit ...

Immobilization of the N-terminal helix stabilizes prefusion paramyxovirus fusion proteins

Matteo Dal Peraro, Luciano Andres Abriata, Albert Sanghoon Song

Parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5) is an enveloped, single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus of the Paramyxoviridae family. PIV5 fusion and entry are mediated by the coordinated action of the receptor-binding protein, hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN), and the f ...

Application of broad-spectrum resequencing microarray for genotyping rhabdoviruses

Stewart Cole, Iain Old

The rapid and accurate identification of pathogens is critical in the control of infectious disease. To this end, we analyzed the capacity for viral detection and identification of a newly described high-density resequencing microarray (RMA), termed Pathog ...
