Researchers have identified a set of broadly neutralizing antibodies that target the conserved glycoprotein B (gB) of gammaherpesviruses. The antibodies bind multiple viral strains, blocking entry in cell culture and reducing viral load in mouse models. Structural analysis revealed a shared epitope on gB, enabling cross‑species protection. The team proposes a monoclonal antibody cocktail as a precursor to a universal gammaherpesvirus vaccine, with pre‑clinical work slated for 2027.
Researchers have mapped the gonadal transcriptome across key developmental stages of the Siberian sturgeon, a species prized for caviar and aquaculture.
