Subcapsular sinus macrophages prevent CNS invasion on peripheral infection with a neurotropic virus

TL;DR: It is shown that SCS macrophages perform a third vital function: they prevent lymph-borne neurotropic viruses from infecting the central nervous system (CNS) on peripheral infection with vesicular stomatitis virus.
Journal ArticleDOI

SARS-CoV-2 RBD antibodies that maximize breadth and resistance to escape.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors comprehensively characterize escape, breadth and potency across a panel of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies targeting the receptor-binding domain (RBD).
Journal ArticleDOI

Lassa virus entry requires a trigger-induced receptor switch

TL;DR: It is shown that to enter a cell, the virus requires a second receptor, this one inside the infected cell, which sheds light on the “enigmatic resistance” of bird cells to Lassa virus, and the resistance of Lamp1-deficient mice to Lasso virus highlights the relevance of this receptor switch in vivo.
