Antiviral-antibody combination improves influenza outcomes in mice
Researchers at McMaster University found in a mouse study that combining a class of well-known antiviral drugs and neutralizing antibodies was more effective than either approach alone, which they contend could be used to treat seasonal influenza and help prevent the next flu pandemic. Read More
New antibody neutralizes all known SARS-CoV-2 variants: study
An antibody developed at Boston Children’s Hospital neutralizes all known SARS-CoV-2 variants, including omicron subvariants, which may inform the design of future COVID-19 vaccines. Read More

‘Jumping gene’ affects immune system response, helps mice survive virus infections
Australian researchers have learned a particular transposable element, a “jumping gene,” has a profound effect on the immune response to virus infection, at least in mice. Read More
Antibodies create broad SARS immune response: study
Scientists from Scripps Research have discovered certain antibodies are capable of immunity against many different SARS-CoV-2 variants, as well as other SARS viruses like SARS-CoV-1. Read More

Intranasal COVID-19 vaccine tops vaccine injection
Ohio researchers have discovered a new way of delivering the COVID-19 vaccine: up the nose. It could one day be incorporated into the existing measles-mumps-rubella vaccine as a way to produce COVID-19 immunity in kids. Read More
CRISPR-based study identifies lung proteins that promote, protect against SARS-CoV-2 infections
A study led by University of California, Berkeley researchers has identified specific proteins within the human body that can either promote SARS-CoV-2 infections or protect against them, a discovery they contend could lead to new antiviral therapies. Read More
