Abstract PURPOSE: Lianhuaqingwen (LH) as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula has been used to treat influenza and exerted broad-spectrum antiviral effects on a series of influenza viruses and immune regulatory effects [1]. The goal of this study is to demonstrate the antiviral activity of LH against the novel SARS-CoV-2 […]

Given influenza A viruses vs B viruses are conventionally considered to result in more severe illnesses, but the clinical severity of A and B infections in hospitalized children has been compared in few studies with long observation periods, and therefore, researchers assessed the clinical presentation, results as well as […]
Abstract The constant crosstalk between the large avian reservoir of influenza A viruses (IAV) and its mammalian hosts drives viral evolution and facilitates their host switching. Direct adaptation of an avian strain to human or reassortment between avian-origin gene segments with that of human strains are the two mechanisms […]

Abstract Influenza causes millions of cases of hospitalizations annually and remains a public health concern on a global scale. Vaccines are developed and have proven to be the most effective countermeasures against influenza infection. Their efficacy has been largely evaluated by hemagglutinin inhibition (HI) titers exhibited by vaccine-induced neutralizing […]

Abstract Abundant evidence points to a critical role for antibodies in protection and pathology across infectious diseases. While the antibody variable domain facilitates antibody binding and the blockade of infection, the constant domain (Fc) mediates cross-talk with the innate immune system. The biological activity of the Fc region is […]

If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
Scientists have used cryo-electron microscopy to clarify the structure of one of the key components of RSV and HMPV, which could lead to new therapies for the viruses. Scientists have found a potential new route to disabling respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (HMPV) after elucidating the structure […]
