ABSTRACT Background Multiple clades of H1N1 influenza A viruses (IAVs) circulated during the 2019–2020 season. Here, we completed serological assays to determine the specificities of serum antibodies from humans infected with viruses from different H1N1 clades during the 2019–2020 season.

Punctuated evolution of influenza virus hemagglutinin (A/H1N1) under opposing migration and vaccination pressures [PDF]
Influenza virus contains two highly variable envelope glycoproteins, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). The structure and properties of HA, which is responsible for binding the virus to the cell that is being infected, change significantly when the virus is transmitted from avian or swine species to humans. Previously we identified much smaller

The role of influenza neuraminidase transmembrane domain on budding and virus morphology [PDF]
Influenza A virus neuraminidase (NA), a type II transmembrane glycoprotein plays a role in the cleavage of sialic acids and facilitating the release of mature virions from the surface of infected cells. NA has also previously been shown to play a role in

Vaccination with DNA plasmids expressing Gn coupled to C3d or alphavirus replicons expressing Gn protects mice against rift valley fever virus [PDF]
Background: Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an arthropod-borne viral zoonosis. Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is an important biological threat with the potential to spread to new susceptible areas. In addition, it is a potential biowarfare agent. Methodology/

Passive Immunization in the Prevention and Treatment of Viral Infections
The development of new technologies for generating monoclonal antibodies has made it possible to extend the use of monoclonal antibodies for controlling viral infections. Here, we discuss the advances in antibody cloning techniques and the current use of passive immunization both as a preventative measure and treatment of viral infection.

Oligomerization, Secretion, and Biological Function of an Anchor-Free Parainfluenza Virus Type 2 (PI2) Fusion Protein [PDF]
A number of studies indicate that the transmembrane domain, the cytoplasmic domain, or both regions of viral surface glycoproteins are involved in quaternary structure formation.

Silver Nanoparticle‐Mediated Antiviral Efficacy against Enveloped Viruses: A Comprehensive Review
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit broad‐spectrum antiviral activity by targeting key viral structures and processes. They disrupt viral envelopes, compromising integrity, and bind to nucleocapsids, impairing viral replication. AgNPs also inhibit glycoprotein interactions, preventing viral attachment and entry into host cells.

Tropical neural networks and its applications to classifying phylogenetic trees [PDF]
Deep neural networks show great success when input vectors are in an Euclidean space. However, those classical neural networks show a poor performance when inputs are phylogenetic trees, which can be written as vectors in the tropical projective torus. Here we propose tropical embedding to transform a vector in the tropical projective torus to a vector
