Pseudotyped virus-based platform and structural analysis reveal potential cross-reactivity sites between influenza C and D viruses

Maria Marotta, Shahid Rowles-Khalid, Martin Mayora Neto…·Kelly da Costa

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.

Serine proteases are required to activate influenza D virus haemagglutinin-esterase fusion (HEF) protein

Meshach Maina, Junsen Zhang, Martin Mayora Neto…·Janet M. Daly

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.
