This paper develops new methods to measure defective interfering particle (DIP) activity in mammarenaviruses, identifying a surrogate marker of interference through glycoprotein expression loss.

This paper develops and validates two cost-effective immunoassays for detecting LCMV antibodies in mouse serum, showing high sensitivity and specificity across multiple timepoints.

This study shows that inhibiting REV1, a TLS polymerase, increases trinucleotide repeat instability in human cells, suggesting REV1 protects against TNR mutagenesis.
