Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...

Naturally Occurring Temperature-sensitive Influenza A Viruses of the H1N1 and H3N2 Subtypes
Seventeen of twenty-six influenza A virus isolates of the H1N1 antigenic subtype and two of eleven H3N2 virus isolates from the 1977-78 season exhibited a ts phenotype, were restricted in plaquing in MDCK cells at 38.5 degrees C compared to 34 degrees C and appeared to be naturally occurring ts mutants.

Isolation and Characterization of H1 Subtype Swine Influenza Viruses Recently Circulating in China
Pigs serve as a mixing vessel for influenza viruses and can independently promote the emergence of pandemic strains in humans. During our surveillance of pig populations from 2021 to 2023 in China, 11 H1 subtype swine influenza viruses (SIVs) were ...

Mouse Models of Influenza Infection with Circulating Strains to Test Seasonal Vaccine Efficacy
Influenza virus infection is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The surface antigens of influenza virus change over time blunting both naturally acquired and vaccine induced adaptive immune protection.

Mimicry between proteins of human and avian influenza viruses and host immune system proteins
Viral infection can lead to dangerous and severe manifestations associated with immunosuppression and a cytokine storm. The last is typical for influenza A virus infection of H1N1 subtype, when the level of cytokines in the peripheral blood is ...

DNA Nanostructure‐Templated Multivalency Enables Broad‐Spectrum Virus Inhibition
A honeycomb‐shaped DNA nanostructure is introduced that organizes nanobodies or aptamers into trimeric clusters mirroring the native hemagglutinin arrangement on influenza viruses. This geometry‐matched multivalency enhances binding avidity by up to 1000‐fold, resulting in robust, broad‐spectrum viral neutralization and a 30–55% improvement in host ...
