Therefore, antigenic characterization of future SARS-CoV-2 variants will require an animal model, analogous to using ferrets for influenza virus. We evaluated neutralization profiles against 23 SARS-CoV-2 variants in nonhuman primates (NHPs) after single variant exposure and generated an NHP-derived antigenic map. We identified a distant antigenic region occupied by BA.2.86, JN.1, and the descendants KP.2, KP.3, and KZ.1.1.1. We also found that the monovalent XBB.1.5 mRNA vaccine induced broad immunity against the mapped antigenic space.

Here, we identified the critical involvement of adenylyl cyclase 5, in both the stress-induced increase in GluA2 in MLIs and the enhancement of fear memory. We found that noradrenaline release during predator odor stress activates AC5 and downstream PKA-CREB signaling. This pathway interacts synergistically with α1-adrenergic receptors to promote synaptic GluA2 expression in MLIs.

We identify conserved patterns of transcriptional dysregulation and their upstream regulators within the tumor and associated vasculature. We describe recurrent subclonal transcriptional consequences of Chr14q loss linked to metastatic potential.
