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.

Excited to share our latest publication @ImmunityCP: "Analysis of the Human B Cell Response to HCMV in Top Neutralizers from a cohort of 9,000 Individuals"!
Congrats to @zehner_matthias, @Ashurov_Art and Mira and thanks to all collaboration partners!

Check out our manuscript reporting the structure of the αMβ2 integrin bound to the adenylate cyclase toxin from B. pertussis! cell.com/cell-reports/fullte… Lots of cool new biological insights. Great work from grad student @JoryGoldsmith in collaboration with @maynard_lab!

Really cool work on an important B. pertussis toxin led by grad student @JoryGoldsmith! Great collaboration with @maynard_lab and more on the way!

Thanks @carlzimmer for featuring our role in the development of vaccines for LMICs. NDV-HXP-S contains our second-generation spike protein (HexaPro or S-6P) expressed from an NDV platform developed by Peter Palese and colleagues @IcahnMountSinai

Thanks for the nice introduction! I spent more than two years trying to get S protein stabilized, until identified 2P strategy; then another painful year experiencing a circulation of submission-rejection-editing, with disappointment and tears. But I insisted it’ll be useful!
Why 2 proline (P) substitutions will go down in history.
Introducing 2P's at the beginning of the central helix (CH) stabilized the spike protein's confirmation upon entering cells.
From the Jan 10 #SARSCoV2 sequence, this 2P Δ was incorporated into the mRNA vaccine designs /1

Exciting day for structure-based vaccine antigen design! The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine encodes for the prefusion-stabilized spike that we (@goodwish916) designed back in 2017 (pnas.org/content/114/35/E734…) as part of a collaboration with Barney Graham, @KizzyPhD, @WardLab1, and others.

Excited to see our manuscript out in @ScienceMagazine today! The plasmid for HexaPro is available at Addgene (addgene.org/154754/). Great collaboration with @IlyaFinkelstein and Jennifer Maynard, led by postdoctoral fellow Ching-Lin Hsieh.
Scientists have engineered the spike protein of the #SARSCoV2 virus to be more environmentally stable and generate larger yields in the lab. The new design could accelerate the development of desperately needed vaccines and tests for #COVID19. @UTAustin fcld.ly/qgh1f9f

Here we report a new SARS-CoV-2 spike variant that expresses 10-fold higher and is more stable than our previous S-2P construct. Should help production of spikes for diagnostics and vaccines. Great collaboration with @IlyaFinkelstein and Maynard lab.

Our (co-inventors @McLellan_Lab) COVID-19 vaccine (spike delivered by @moderna_tx's mRNA) was just injected into the 1st human in phase 1 trial, only 66 days after viral sequence release... a testament to rapid vaccine development for emerging diseases🦠💚

Just weeks after the genome sequence of recently emerged #coronavirus—2019-nCoV—was published online, researchers have reported in Science the cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the spike (S) protein it uses to gain entry to host cells. fcld.ly/duayfwa

Great effort led by grad student Daniel Wrapp and postdoc Nianshuang Wang! 12 days from harvesting media to deposition/submission. Now to test the stabilized spike as a vaccine with Dr. Barney Graham at VRC/NIAID.
