This study uses flow virometry to analyze spike antigenicity of endemic human coronaviruses, revealing cell line-dependent differences and heterogeneity not captured by bulk assays.

The paper compares SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern in nasal and lung cultures, finding Omicron replicates fastest and Delta causes most cellular damage.

The paper develops recombinant E3L proteins to detect A-dsRNA and Z-dsRNA from viral infections and endogenous mutations, revealing distinct detection patterns for different dsRNA conformations.

This study shows that the Us9 protein of pseudorabies virus regulates axonal sorting differently in immature versus mature neurons, with immature neurons showing reduced Us9-dependent sorting and increased Us9-independent transport.
