We may already have some immunity against H5N1 bird flu
New research also found that molecules on the inside of highly pathogenic influenza A H5N1 virus could be promising targets for human vaccines.

In response to the emergence of H5N1 influenza A viruses as a novel pathogen of cattle, a study in Nature Communications shows that pasteurisation of cows’ milk should effectively inactivate the virus, but that it remains infectious in unpasteurised milk. go.nature.com/3WRQ8fb 🧪
This is figure 1, which shows pasteurisation effectively inactivates influenza viruses in milk.

Light-ning Talks #LorneProteins2025 Taylor Szyszka Engineering carbon-fixing protein cages. Carboxysomes are great, but encapsulins can assemble a uniform cage around any target tagged with a cargo peptide at C term. 42 nm across. Carboxysome mimic with encapsulin? Encapsulating rubisco.
Taylor N Szyszka standing behind a lectern giving a cool talk about building encapsulated rubisco complexes.

Co-expressed with encapsulin - no activity. But is rubisco assembled? Staged induction expression system. 2 plasmids; IPTG for rubisco; rhamnose for encapsulin with fresh media.

Staged expression retains activity.
