Up to 30% of commercial pasteurized milk in US is PCR +Ve. Pasteurization inactivates virus, but HA protein preserved. In mice, repeated oral exposure to inactivated virus did not alter mortality or worsen disease after H5N1 virus challenge. 👉 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Super excited that our paper @ssclabquips.bsky.social is out in #ScienceAdvances (@science.org)! --> Repeated oral exposure to H5N1 influenza virus in pasteurized milk does not cause adverse responses to subsequent influenza infection | Science Advances www.science.org/doi/full/10....

Pasteurized milk containing inactive H5N1 viral components poses minimal health risk and does not alter influenza immunity, while unpasteurized milk remains a significant health concern. doi.org/g94636

Super excited to see our study out in #ScienceAdvances today, summarized nicely by @stjuderesearch.bsky.social !

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

NIH cuts indirect rates on grants to 15%. This will be the end of American excellence in science. Universities will struggle and many (likely most) will terminate their research programs. Independent research institutions will not be able to survive this. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Very preliminary starter pack Only about 25-30 on there so far

go.bsky.app/7zMmwNY Hi all, so nice to cross over to the light. Here is a starter pack for all things Mucosal Immunology! Exciting to create a MI community here. Let me know if you would like to join 👍

Sign of the times, no more bluebird on the biorxiv engagement tab..

Here Malcolm Sim and Eric Long discuss peptide sensitivity of the HLA/KIR interaction. For anyone interested in this evolving subject (i.e. immune mediated disease), this review explains the difficult concepts really nicely and introduces a couple of models. #immunology www.cell.com/trends/immun...

A starter pack for scientists working on NK cells or ILCs. Happy to add more names as more people join. go.bsky.app/AjNpW2h

The H5N1 sequence found in the hospitalized teenager shows two important mutations that improve the virus's ability to bind to human α2,6 sialic acid receptors. This adaptation is crucial for the virus's potential to spread between humans. The virus is evolving. #H5N1

Tell me again how the H5N1 cattle outbreak is on its way to being contained. An increased wastewater signal usually doesn’t suggest fewer cases.
