Engineering Antibodies into Targeted Chimeras: From Recognition Modules to Programmable Degraders
Antibody can be engineered into diverse lysosome‐targeting chimeras that convert target recognition into active degradation. By coupling antibody binding with recruited receptors, encoded domains, conjugated ligands, or nanoparticle scaffolds, these antibody‐associated targeted chimeras (AbTACs) platforms direct extracellular and membrane proteins ...

Differential contribution of PB1-F2 to the virulence of highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza A virus in mammalian and avian species [PDF]
Highly pathogenic avian influenza A viruses (HPAIV) of the H5N1 subtype occasionally transmit from birds to humans and can cause severe systemic infections in both hosts.

Evolutionary Dynamics of 2009 Pandemic Influenza A Virus Subtype H1N1 in South Africa During 2009–2010 [PDF]
The 2009 pandemic influenza A virus subtype H1N1 (A[H1N1]pdm09) was first detected in June 2009 in South Africa and later resulted in extensive transmission throughout Africa. Established routine surveillance programs and collaboration between private and public sector laboratories allowed for comprehensive molecular epidemiological and antigenic ...

The comparative clinical course of pregnant and non-pregnant women hospitalised with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 infection [PDF]
Introduction: The Influenza Clinical Information Network (FLU-CIN) was established to gather detailed clinical and epidemiological information about patients with laboratory confirmed A(H1N1)pdm09 infection in UK hospitals.

Influenza A virus, one of the major human respiratory pathogens, is responsible for annual seasonal endemics and unpredictable periodic pandemics. Despite the clinical availability of vaccines and antivirals, the antigenic diversity and drug resistance ...

Several zoonotic influenza A viruses detected in humans contain genes derived from avian H9N2 subtypes. We uncovered a Eurasian avian-like H1N1 swine influenza virus with polymerase basic 1 and matrix gene segments derived from the H9N2 subtype ...

Some Exposure for Influenza Hemagglutinin Interface Antibodies
ABSTRACT Influenza viruses are a constant threat to human health. Current vaccines often confer low to moderate protection against infection with seasonal viruses and little‐to‐no protection against pandemic viruses. Improved vaccines are needed. These vaccines will need to reliably elicit antibodies to conserved sites that are broadly protective.

Pregnant Women Have Attenuated Innate Interferon Responses to 2009 Pandemic Influenza A Virus Subtype H1N1 [PDF]
Pregnant women are considered to have a high risk for influenza virus infection, although little is known about the biological reasons for this risk. Antiviral immunity is critical during influenza virus infection, and understanding the changes that occur during pregnancy and the effect of vaccination is essential for improving health outcomes for ...

Respiratory and systematic humoral and cellular immune response of pigs to a heterosubtypic influenza A virus infection [PDF]
The level of heterosubtypic immunity (Het-I) and the immune mechanisms stimulated by a heterosubtypic influenza virus infection were investigated in pigs. Pigs are natural hosts for influenza virus and, like humans, they host both subtypes H1N1 and H3N2.

Use of cumulative incidence of novel influenza A/H1N1 in foreign travelers to estimate lower bounds on cumulative incidence in Mexico [PDF]
Background: An accurate estimate of the total number of cases and severity of illness of an emerging infectious disease is required both to define the burden of the epidemic and to determine the severity of disease. When a novel pathogen first appears,
