@alanlparker I heard about this a while back, and wondered what had become of it. A fascinating (if unusual) case study.

Please consider nominating CMV Action for this £5,000 prize. It takes 30 seconds but would go a long way in supporting the work of our small but vital charity.

@Weekes_Mike @StrangVirusLab @StantonRich @MJaMurray @ijg25 @ProfAsmaKhalil please share with colleagues, thank you

@Peppa_Group @iit_ucl @adesoton @dandavis101 @DrFran_Colucci @GMAGillespie @druppygill @VikiLovesFACS @ImmunOrhan Thanks for organising Dimitra, it's been a while since we had one!

[Rich Stanton @StantonRich]

@PhilipAhern We use anti-his and they work really well in flow. I'm guessing it depends on the antibody clone based on others who've replied (and not in the lab right now to check which we use!), but it definitely can work well.

[Rich Stanton @StantonRich]

RIVR's a great way to meet other virology PIs in the UK, go along if you're a new (ish?) group leader.

[Ed Emmott @edemmott]

The Recently-Independent Virologists Retreat (RIVR) 2024 will be on Jan 9-10th 2024 (date changed!) in Liverpool. Booking will open in the next week or two.
