New T cell research shows how we could develop #hantavirus vaccines and therapies: bit.ly/4fkseTs Key findings from @settelab.bsky.social, @albagrifoni.bsky.social and @iedb.bsky.social #health #medicine #VaccineResearch #Andeshantavirus

We have no treatments for measles infection — but it doesn't have to be that way. @nytimes.com explains how research led by LJI's Dr. Erica Ollmann Saphire and Dr. Dawid Zyla could help #measles patients across the U.S. bit.ly/4ekMeTU #Immunology #Health #Medicine #SanDiego #InfectiousDisease

New from ScienceNews — Here's how LJI's #measles research can deliver virus-fighting monoclonal antibody therapeutics. "You can think of monoclonal antibodies as kind of an on-demand immunity..." www.sciencenews.org/article/meas... #virology #health #medicine

📽️ LJI researchers share their latest on-the-ground efforts to fight #Ebola and Lassa viruses, and discussed how fieldwork in African countries is driving new discoveries. youtu.be/F5gxphtRJso?... #Health #Medicine #Viruses #EbolaVirus #VaccineResearch #SanDiego

NIH highlights new #measles research, led by LJI scientists: "With measles cases increasing, we urgently need effective therapeutics to protect the most vulnerable." www.nih.gov/news-events/...

New investigation by @settelab.bsky.social and @albagrifoni.bsky.social shows how T cells target conserved epitopes on #measles and Nipah viruses. Findings could guide development of vaccines against broad paramyxovirus family: www.lji.org/news-events/... #health #medicine #immunology

Researchers identify first suite of human antibodies against measles virus

Vaccination remains the priority, but some researchers are looking for drugs to fight the virus in people who don't get the shot.
