🐓 Key gene that blocks the spillover of #AvianFlu to humans discovered.
@RuteMPinto, @WilsonLabCVR & colleagues have identified that the BTN3A3 gene is vital to protecting humans against avian flu.
📄 Paper: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
🗞️ News article: gla.ac.uk/news/headline_9760…
ALT Two spheres which represent immune protection. One sphere contains a human silhouette, the other contains two chicken silhouettes. The chicken sphere shows a high abundance of virus particles. The contact point shows cracks as the virus particle breech the human sphere. This represents the fragility of immune protection as the evasion of BTN3A3 can result in spillover of Avian IAVs to humans.

1/14 Our latest paper, where we demonstrate utility of CpG enrichment for augmentation of live attenuated influenza A virus (IAV) vaccines, is now published. T'was a labour of love, and a journey exploring the good, bad and ugly of the publishing world. journals.plos.org/plospathog…
