Structure and stabilization of the antigenic glycoprotein building blocks of the New World mammarenavirus spike complex
Published 2025-07-01Subjects: “…arenavirus…”ABSTRACT The spillover of New World (NW) arenaviruses from rodent reservoirs into human populations poses a continued risk to human health. NW arenaviruses present a glycoprotein (GP) complex on the envelope surface of the virion, which orchestrates host cell entry and is a key target of the immune...
