The paper introduces a luciferase-based microneutralization assay (LMN) that correlates with HAI titers and can detect antigenic differences between egg-adapted and cell-derived influenza strains.

The paper investigates the transmission bottlenecks of SARS-CoV-2 variants and finds that highly transmissible variants have tighter bottlenecks, limiting the spread of mutations.

The paper investigates whether the HA stalk of the 2009 pandemic H1N1 virus has undergone antigenic drift over a decade and finds it remains antigenically stable.

The paper identifies Atossa as a genetic program that enhances mitochondrial function in Drosophila macrophages to support tissue invasion through increased oxidative phosphorylation.

This study analyzes SARS-CoV-2 mutation accumulation within and across infected hosts, finding low intrahost diversity and limited shared variants between unrelated individuals.

The paper estimates the within-host effective population size and mutation rate of influenza A virus in acute infections using sequence data from 200 patients.

This study compares within-host genetic diversity between influenza B and A viruses, finding lower diversity in B viruses and a tight transmission bottleneck.

This study assesses the protective role of H1N1 influenza virus hemagglutinin head and stalk antibodies in humans, finding both are associated with protection against infection.

The paper shows that sera from humans with narrowly focused influenza virus antibodies select for single HA escape mutations in ovo, reducing antibody binding.

The paper identifies a subset of vaccinated individuals with higher antibody titers against an egg-adapted H1N1 influenza strain's receptor binding site.

This study uses viral sequence data from a community-based cohort to estimate within-host population dynamics and transmission bottlenecks of influenza A virus, finding that stochastic processes dominate its evolution.
