Early animal studies by Pirbright and Oxford yield promising results for new potential COVID-19 vaccine

Studies carried out by The Pirbright Institute and the University of Oxford have shown that Oxford’s new potential vaccine against COVID-19, named RBD-SpyVLP, produces a strong antibody response in mice and pigs, providing vital information for the further development of the…

A network of protein interactions around the herpes simplex virus tegument protein VP22

Assembly of the herpesvirus tegument is poorly understood but is believed to involve interactions between outer tegument proteins and the cytoplasmic domains of envelope glycoproteins. Here, we present the detailed characterization of a multicomponent glycoprotein-tegument…

A critical role for perivascular cells in amplifying vascular leakage induced by dengue virus nonstructural protein 1

Dengue is the most prevalent arthropod-borne viral disease affecting humans, with severe dengue typified by potentially fatal microvascular leakage and hypovolemic shock. Blood vessels of the microvasculature are composed of a tubular structure of endothelial cells…

Combining aerosol and injection of a flu vaccine improves protection in pigs, Pirbright study finds

Flu vaccine research undertaken by scientists at The Pirbright Institute has demonstrated that combining two different routes of administering flu vaccine provides pigs with better protection against disease than using only one method. The findings could inform vaccination…

Pirbright to study the threats of new SARS-CoV-2 variants as part of a new consortium

Pirbright is to take a lead role in a new national research project to study the effects of emerging mutations in SARS-CoV-2. The ‘G2P-UK’ National Virology Consortium with £2.5 million of funding from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) will study how mutations in the virus…

Pirbright study shows how SARS-CoV-2 could have adapted from bats to humans and which other animals it could infect

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ( SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, is thought to have originated in bats, but how it jumped hosts to infect humans is unclear, as is the potential for the virus to infect other animal species. Researchers from The…
