Computationally hybridized pathogenic mammarenavirus receptor binding domains reveal cryptic variants that elicit cross-neutralizing immune responses

Lily Taylor, Gavriella Siman-Tov, Sol Ferrero, Takeshi Saito, Gustavo F. Helguera, Junki Maruyama, José A. Rodríguez

The paper investigates hybridized JUNV-MACV GP1 variants, showing they enable virus entry and are recognized by cross-neutralizing antibodies, suggesting potential for antiviral therapy design.

Unraveling factors responsible for pathogenic differences in Lassa virus strains

Satoshi Taniguchi, Takeshi Saito, Ruchi Paroha, Cheng Huang, Slobodan Paessler, Junki Maruyama

This study identifies the L protein as a key determinant of pathogenicity in Lassa virus LF2384 compared to LF2350 in guinea pigs through immunological gene profiling and reverse genetics.
