Shout out to Oliver Siering from my lab for this piece of work! From sequence analysis to in vivo evaluation. Thank you @JVirology for the editorial spotlight! @PEI_Germany @ASMicrobiology @GesVirologie @ASVPresident
#JVirology SPOTLIGHT from Pfaller lab! Morbillivirus accessory C protein, which prevents production of double-stranded viral RNAs that stimulate innate immunity and activate interferon production, is essential for canine distemper virus pathogenesis

Very excited to share our newest preprint from @DrAaronJJohnson lab! In this study, we demonstrate that the naive mouse brain has T cells in the tissue itself and that these T cells are not in or close to the vasculature and have a resident memory phenotype.
Brain resident memory T cells rapidly expand and initiate neuroinflammatory responses following CNS injury and viral infection biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_immuno

So thankful to be spending this Thanksgiving with my amazing family with my parents and wonderful brother @AliAyaSoufi and awesome husband @ckpfaller . Turkey and photo credit to my brother. ❤❤❤❤❤
Fühlen Sie sich eigentlich angesprochen, wenn entgegensetze, dass dies eine "Pandemie der DUMPFBACKEN" ist @SWagenknecht ? Ab wann müssen Politiker eigentlich zum TüV?
Kurzer Faktencheck zum gerade veröffentlichten Meinungsartikel von Sahra #Wagenknecht in der @welt
mit dem gegen Massnahmen zur Erhöhung der #Impfquote Stimmung gemacht werden soll.

Impfquoten in D und UK sind ungefähr gleich. UK hat aber viel mehr Genesene (und Verstorbene). Eine Beruhigung in UK rückt nun langsam in Reichweite. Dies zu erreichen würde uns wohl eine ähnliche Zahl an Verstorbenen kosten. Einzige Alternative ist das Schließen der Impflücke.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, virus-loving PhD student, who would like to learn more about morbilliviruses and how they are affected by the immune system. Apply, if you are interested, or forward to anyone who might be. @SFB_1021 @GesVirologie @PEI_Germany @dfg_public

Our study testing efficacy of a #measles #virus inhibitor in non-human primates is out in @NatureComms. Congrats @Kevin_Wittwer and all co-authors! rdcu.be/cxkMO
ERDRP0519 may be an option to support our efforts to eradicate #measles through #vaccination. ERDRP0519 could be used to protect those who cannot receive the vaccine for health reasons. It may also help break transmission chains in local measles outbreaks.
However, #vaccination remains our only shot to eradicate #measles completely and prevent suffering and dying of children worldwide.
