The labs of Krammer, @wchnicholas.bsky.social, Ellebedy et al. identify a neuraminidase-targeting human monoclonal antibody (mAb-297) induced by seasonal #influenza vaccination that broadly protects against multiple influenza A & B strains, incl. avian #H5N1. rupress.org/jem/article/...

✨✨ It's #glycotime for #HIV Env ✨✨
N-linked glycans modulate flexibility & MPER epitope exposure #glycotime
Huge effort by @shehata92.bsky.social @lcasalino88.bsky.social with cryoET of Env in VLPs by @thevillalab.bsky.social & team 💪
Would love feedback!

The preliminary sequence from the H5N1 human case in British Columbia has been posted and it is not good news. The virus potentially has a quasispecies at HA residue 226 (H3 numbering). This is bad news because we know that mutations at residue 226 can increase binding to human receptors. 1/
