Check out our latest study, led by grad student Ryan McCool @rmccool.bsky.social‬, in collaboration with Vaccine Company. We were able to stabilize EBV gB in the prefusion conformation, determine its cryo-EM structure to 3.1 A, and assess its immunogenicity in mice. www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Happy to finally see this study published, a great collaboration between academic, government and industry labs! We show that CCHFV GP38 can induce vascular leak and that this can be prevented by protective but not virus-neutralizing antibodies! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Antibodies targeting Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus GP38 limit vascular leak and viral spread
Glycoprotein GP38-specific antibodies reduce viral dissemination and GP38-mediated vascular leak in Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus infection.

Engineering and structures of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus glycoprotein complexes
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus is a widespread tickborne virus that infects humans. Engineering-based structural studies of the viral glycoprotein complexes GP38-Gn and GP38-Gn-Gc provide insights to their function in the viral life cycle. GP38-Gn-Gc confers partial protection against lethal viral challenge in mice, showing promise as a vaccine antigen for further development.
