This has been a great collaboration on an incredibly interesting and difficult virus, CMV. The manuscript includes outstanding work from ILS grad student Alison Lee, who developed our CMV neutralization assay and applied it to a large number of samples with quick turnaround!
Excited to share the pre-print describing our efforts to stabilize the HCMV gB ectodomain in a prefusion-like conformation. We and others have now routinely stabilized class I viral fusion proteins, but class III viral fusogens have been more difficult.View quoted post on X
Congrats on an incredibly successful internship to @Ines_S_Pinto who visited us for a few months from @cnc_uc ! She quickly learned all we could teach her and has a very bright future ahead. Many thanks to the @UTPortugal @CockrellSchool program. We will miss you, Ines!!
