Thanks so much! That means so much to me 🤩
Working with MX1 proteins was definitely not easy, but coming across this mechanism felt super rewarding!
My question now is: what about the mechanisms behind the early stage blocks of the avian flus? 😄

Thanks Maria! :)
It depends on the helper virus! With VSV and UGV the deltavirus free particles are productive, just much less so than the Trojan Horse particles (over 100-fold for UGV). However for HSV-1 they are totally unproductive, probably because they can't access/decorate with HSV-1 GPs!

Special thanks to Aurélien Fouillen, who was there since the initial observations and who was essential for all the EM data of the paper, and of course @karimaj.bsky.social, who was extremely supportive in my pursual of what was originally an anecdotal, unexpected, observation!
