The virus is primarily transmitted to people from ticks and livestock animals with a case fatality rate of up to 40%. There are currently no approved vaccines against the virus.

A near-atomic level map of Zika virus shows its ... The information may also be useful for designing treatments such as antiviral drugs or antibodies that interfere with E glycoprotein function.

Multiple surface envelope proteins are involved in the human herpes simplex virus type 1 entry and fusion. Among them, glycoprotein D (gD) has an important role by binding to the host receptors ...

Henipavirus glycoprotein architecture suggests therapeutic strategies Cryoelectron microscopy studies of Nipah and Hendra viruses may provide blueprints for vaccine ...

Glycoproteins also serve important functions in infectious disease, with glycoprotein receptors expressed on viral capsids involved in both recognition and infection of viable host cells. 20 The ...

A second antibody, called odesivimab (REGN3471), binds to amino acids on the glycoprotein's receptor-binding site, preventing the virus from attaching itself to human cells.

He studies bat immunity to many dangerous viruses, and conducts molecular structure and function studies of the infectivity machinery in coronaviruses, other related viruses, and henipaviruses.

To date, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has escaped the attentions of vaccines and therapeutics. That EBV should be so shy frustrates scientists, who are well aware of EBV’s depredations.

This month’s story comes from the Bloom lab using their signature deep mutational scanning technique to identify mutations in the surface protein of Lassa virus -called glycoprotein- that escape ...
