Episode 21: A role for T cells in flavivirus vaccination and pathogenesis | Creating Memory: Vaccines & Immunity We talk with Dr. Annie Elong Ngono, a research instructor in the Center for Vaccine Innovation at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology, CA, who studies the role of T cells in vaccine-mediated protect...

Check out our interview with our next 'Rising Star' Dr. Annie Elong Ngono who works on understanding the protective and pathogenic roles of #T_cells during #flavivirus (#DENV and #ZIKV) vaccination and infection. cvimp.podbean.com/e/episode-21...

Our paper is finally out!
I’m proud to share this collaborative work using FIB milling and cryo-electron tomography to study tick-borne flavivirus replication. Thanks to all co-authors and collaborators — great teamwork #CryoET #ElectronTomography #Virology #Flavivirus #Microscopy #StructuralBiology

Using an in vivo CRISPR/Cas9-mediated approach, we provide the first dynamic insight of a Vago-like gene’s function during #flavivirus infection of #Aedes #aegypti 🦠. Our findings suggest that VLG-1 supports #DENV and #ZIKV virus by promoting its dissemination throughout the mosquito’s body. 🤯

This is the first-ever high-resolution structure of the Powassan virus.
It’s basic science, but it opens the door to safer virus research, new vaccines, and antiviral strategies.
Proud to call this the first chapter of my PhD. (4/5)

Atomic-resolution structure of a chimeric Powassan tick-borne flavivirus The 2.8-Å resolution structure is presented for a chimeric construct of an emerging tick-borne flavivirus, Powassan virus.

New in @science.org
We built a safe, atomic-resolution version of the Powassan virus—a deadly tick-borne #flavivirus with no vaccine.
✅ First structure ever
✅ Safe to handle (BSL-2)
✅ Platform for vaccines & antivirals

Let me show you 🧵 (1/5)

Thanks @julienpompon.bsky.social for inviting me in wonderful Montpellier. In the oldest faculty of Medicine in the world (A.D. 1220) we talked about our favorite #flavivirus and collaboration between our #HorizonEurope @yellow4flavi.bsky.social and @flavivaccine.bsky.social projects.

Meet SHIELD ! ✋

Today: The FlavImmunity group at Institut Pasteur uses the yellow fever 17D vaccine as a model to study flavivirus entry, maturation, and antigenicity.

🦠 What does TBEV entry into neurons look like?

With ISIDORe & CEITEC (Instruct CZ), Bisikalo (Helsinki) used cryo-ET to image TBEV on GLP2R-liposomes—confirming cryo-ET compatibility.

Next: higher-res data to reveal the virus–host interface.
