TL;DR: The outbreak was characterized by widespread transmission with relatively mild symptoms and asymptomatic infection among this sample of mostly young, healthy adults with close, congregate exposures and the presence of neutralizing antibodies, which represent antibodies that inhibit SARS-CoV-2, among the majority of those with antibody responses is a promising indicator of at least short-term immunity.

TL;DR: This work reveals orthopoxvirus targets for human Abs that mediate cross-protective immunity and identifies new candidate Ab therapeutic mixtures to replace VIG.

TL;DR: A new “jailbreak” model of B. anthracis dissemination is proposed which applies to the dissemination of all common manifestations of the disease anthrax and impacts the field by deemphasizing the role of host cells as conduits for dissemination and increasing therole of phagocytes as central players in innate defenses, while moving the focus toward interactions between B. Anthracis and lymphoid and epithelial tissues.

TL;DR: The observations described above suggest that LT serves dual functions; it both attenuates accumulation of PMNs at sites of inflammation and impairs PMNs bactericidal activity against vegetative B. anthracis.

TL;DR: This study used recombinant MPXV containing the firefly luciferase gene (luc) and in vivo imaging technology to characterizeMPXV pathogenesis in the black-tailed prairie dog in real time and allowed for a greater understanding of how MPxV disseminates throughout the body in prairie dogs during the course of infection.
