Description
Qian Gao, George Fu Gao, and Jun Liu review, in a 2026 article, the protective immunogens of the world's priority pathogens, the molecular parts that vaccines and antibody drugs must target. In 2024 the World Health Organization listed thirty-two such pathogens as most likely to spark a global emergency.
Walking pathogen by pathogen, the authors catalogue the representative protective targets and their shared traits. Viruses from the same family tend to carry look-alike protective immunogens, opening the door to cross-reactive designs. Internal viral proteins, which change little between strains, emerge as favourite candidates for universal vaccines. The authors frame this catalogue as the first key for preparedness.
