This study compares innate immune responses to Victoria and Yamagata influenza B viruses, finding lineage-specific differences in immune kinetics, gene expression, and cellular tropism.

This paper identifies a human monoclonal antibody that protects against multiple pneumococcal serotypes by targeting conserved choline-binding domain proteins.

This study examines how PFOA exposure affects metabolism and immune response to SARS-2 in ferrets, finding altered metabolic responses and impaired immune function.

The paper examines the receptor-binding specificity of a bovine HPAI H5N1 virus using multiple assays and finds it preferentially binds avian-type receptors.

This study shows that contemporary Influenza B Victoria viruses provide cross-protection against Yamagata viruses, while Yamagata viruses do not offer similar protection, suggesting neuraminidase antibodies may be key to this asymmetry.

The paper assesses a swine influenza A virus in animal and human cell models to evaluate pandemic risk, finding varied replication potential across models.

The paper develops a KPR tool for MHC-I genotyping in dogs using RNA-seq data, achieving 86% success rate and identifying 122 new alleles.
