This $782,871 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to investigate mechanisms by which arthritogenic alphaviruses, such as chikungunya and Ross River viruses, evade CD8+ T cell-mediated immunity. The primary goals are to: 1) determine how type I interferon restricts alphavirus infection of antigen-presenting cells, impairing the...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $685,980 to support research aimed at isolating broadly protective monoclonal antibodies for Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF). The key objectives of this award are: 1) Developing a cohort of CCHF survivors and isolating a panel of monoclonal antibodies against the CCHF virus envelope; 2) Testing the efficacy of the anti-CCHF envelope monoclonal antibodies for cross-clade protection in a lethal mouse model; and 3) Defining the fine specificity of the broadly protective human monoclonal antibodies against CCHF. The award will fund research activities at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, with sub-awards to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside and Hitit University Rectorate. If successful, the isolation of cross-protective human monoclonal antibodies could represent a breakthrough for the development of potential treatments and vaccines against this highly contagious and potentially fatal viral disease.
