The paper uses pseudotyped viruses and structural analysis to identify shared antigenic sites between influenza C and D viruses, suggesting potential for cross-protective vaccines.

This study identifies HAT and swAT as proteases that activate ICV and IDV HEF proteins, showing that protease specificity does not restrict IDV replication in the human upper respiratory tract.

This study expands adaptive NKG2C+ NK cells from HBV-infected donors, showing enhanced ADCC and anti-hepatoma activity.

This paper introduces a dual neutralisation assay for SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses, demonstrating its sensitivity and specificity in detecting neutralising antibodies.

This study investigates the factors driving the shift in dominance from H5N8 to H5N1 HPAIVs in wild birds, finding that viral pathogenicity and immune responses differ between subtypes.

The paper develops and optimizes pseudotyped viruses for influenza C and D to enable antiviral screening and sero-epidemiological studies.

The paper identifies monoclonal antibodies that neutralize multiple SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2 variants, and bat coronaviruses, with one antibody showing broad cross-reactivity.
