GoKawiil Reports on RSV F Mutations and Antibody Resistance Study

Researchers used pseudotyped lentiviral particles to analyze how single mutations in the RSV F protein impact the effectiveness of existing neutralizing antibodies. The study highlights ongoing viral evolution under immune pressure and provides data to guide future antibody development. No infectious viruses were created during the experiments, ensuring biosafety compliance.

Metascientist finds 18,000+ suspect antibody validation images across 15 vendors

Northwestern University researcher Reese Richardson expanded his earlier investigation into Thermo Fisher's antibody catalogue and found over 18,000 questionable validation images spanning 15 supply companies, publishing the findings in a public database on August 25. Many of the western blot images used to prove antibody quality show signs of digital manipulation, according to his analysis.
