To be announced

In this course, students will gain hands-on experience with essential virological techniques used in influenza virus research. All experiments will be performed under biosafety level 2 conditions.
They will learn how to cultivate and infect host cells with influenza viruses and quantify infectious virus particles through plaque assay analyses.
Additionally, students will perform influenza virus vRNP reconstitution assays to quantify the activity of the viral RNA polymerase, providing insights into viral replication mechanisms. They will also employ Western Blot analyses to detect subunits of the viral polymerase and examine their protein expression levels.

Wed 15.04.26, 10:15 - 11:45

This journal club explores cutting-edge research in virology focusing on virus discovery, host range and transmission, virus-host cell interactions and pathogenesis as well as immune interference and intervention strategies. Through critical discussions, participants will refine their ability to analyze scientific literature, understand experimental methodologies, and engage in interdisciplinary dialogue. The sessions will provide an opportunity for PhD students to strengthen their presentation and moderation skills while staying up to date with the latest advancements in the field.

Short: Isolation neutrophils, NET assay methods, confocal microscopy, Incucyte NETosis assay

Long: Learning the analysis of neutrophil extra cellular traps = NETs. This hands-on course aims to teach techniques for the isolation of neutrophils from human and/or pig blood, handling of isolated neutrophils to analyze NETs in connection with zoonotic pathogens (here Streptococcus suis), specialized techniques for quantifying the formation of NETs (confocal immunofluorescence microscopy, Incucyte), and analyzing in vivo samples for NETs using ELISA techniques. The course is planned to include a significant amount of practical sessions and is scheduled for 4 days.
