Open AccessA novel “prime and pull” strategy mediated by the combination of two dendritic cell-targeting designs induced protective lung tissue-resident memory T cells against H1N1 influenza virus challenge
Vaccination is still the most promising strategy for combating influenza virus pandemics. However, the highly variable characteristics of influenza virus make it difficult to develop antibody-based universal v...

Molecular basis for receptor tyrosine kinase A-loop tyrosine transphosphorylation
A long-standing mystery shrouds the mechanism by which catalytically repressed receptor tyrosine kinase domains accomplish transphosphorylation of activation loop (A-loop) tyrosines. Here we show that this rea...
