The power of many: when genetics met yeasts and high‐throughput
ABSTRACT In recent years, complex technological capabilities have evolved, driven by the need to solve complex and integrative biological questions through global analyses. New equipment allows the scaling up and automation of processes which previously were carried out on a very limited scale.

Long-lasting cross-protection against influenza A by neuraminidase and M2e-based immunization strategies [PDF]
There is mounting evidence that in the absence of neutralizing antibodies cross-reactive T cells provide protection against pandemic influenza viruses. Here, we compared protection and CD8+ T cell responses following challenge with H1N1 2009 pandemic and

Ion Activation Methods for Top‐Down Proteomics
ABSTRACT Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a premier method used to characterize the sequences of proteins. Top‐down proteomics aims to capture the multiple sources of structural diversity reflected in proteins, such as those that arise from alternative RNA splicing events or the addition of post‐translational modifications. Tandem MS (i.e., MS/MS)

Glycomics-based analysis of chicken red blood cells provides insight into the selectivity of the viral agglutination assay [PDF]
Agglutination of red blood cells (RBCs), including chicken RBCs (cRBCs), has been used extensively to estimate viral titer, to screen glycan-receptor binding preference, and to assess the protective response of vaccines.

Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a polyglutamine (polyQ) neurogenerative disorder that results from CAG trinucleotide repeat expansions in the ATXN3 gene, leading to toxic protein aggregate formation and cellular pathway dysfunction.

Correlation of Infectivity and Hemagglutinins of Reoviruses
SummaryAll three reovirus prototypes were grown in MKTC; the infected cultures were maintained at 37° for up to 42 days. During this time period infectivity and HA of the reoviruses were periodically determined. The infectivity of all three types steadily declined to less than 1% of the maximal titer after 30 days.

Structural insights into the binding mode of the hypnotic drug vornorexant to orexin receptors
The crystal structure of the human orexin type 2 receptor–vornorexant complex (3.29 Å resolution) and orexin type 1 receptor docking revealed a conserved U‐shaped binding conformation, explaining the high affinity and balanced dual antagonism of this dual orexin receptor antagonist. The structural data validate the rational design that incorporated a 1,

Serotype C and D of Clostridium botulinum produce botulinum toxin complex (TC), which is comprised of botulinum neurotoxin, nontoxic nonhemagglutinin, and hemagglutinins (HAs).

Trends of influenza B during the 2010–2016 seasons in 2 regions of north and south Italy: The impact of the vaccine mismatch on influenza immunisation strategy [PDF]
Influenza A and B viruses are responsible for respiratory infections, representing globally seasonal threats to human health. The 2 viral types often co-circulate and influenza B plays an important role in the spread of infection.
