The Y161F Substitution of Hemagglutinin Increases Antigenic Thermostability and Improves Yields of Influenza A Viruses

Published: 9/6/2024

Inventor(s): Xiu-Feng (Henry) Wan, Feng Wen

Background Vaccination has been the most efficient and economical strategy for preventing influenza virus infection and controlling disease spread among hosts. A high yield vaccine seed strain is required for timely vaccine manufacture and is thus a critical component of a successful influenza vaccination program. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon...

Reagents, Devices, and Accessories for Kinetic Fluorogenic Chemical Quantification

Published: 11/4/2024

Inventor(s): Dongmao Zhang, Max Wamsley

Background Kinetic chromogenic (CG) and fluorogenic (FG) quantification deduces analyte concentration based on the reaction rate between the CG/FG probe and its targeted molecule. Little progress has been made in the past half century in either the theory or the applications of the kinetic spectroscopic quantification methods. Current kinetic CG/FG...
