Researchers explore a novel method to isolate monoclonal antibodies from COVID-19 convalescents infected with SARS-CoV-2 variants

Researchers developed a novel high-throughput method to obtain monoclonal antibodies from COVID-19 individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 ancestral strain Wuhan-Hu-1 and the Beta or Gamma variants.

Study finds COVID-19 convalescent children had more robust humoral immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 than convalescent adults

The work investigated why the children experienced milder COVID-19 illness even after a strong immune response.

Study explores molecular mechanisms underlying SARS-CoV-2 infection of macrophages and the induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines

Researchers examined the role of sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-type lectins-1, a myeloid cell-specific receptor, in facilitating SARS-CoV-2 infection of ACE2-deficient macrophages and its effect on pro-inflammatory cytokine expression.

Study identifies a new class of monoclonal antibodies that neutralize both alpha and beta coronaviruses

A team of international scientists has recently isolated and characterized pan-coronavirus neutralizing antibodies from individuals with pre-existing immunity against SARS-CoV-2.

No evidence of SARS-CoV-2 in the U.K.'s wild deer population

A new study accepted for publication in the journal Transboundary and Emerging Diseases assesses the potential exposure of U.K. deer to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) since studies have shown the spill-over of SARS-CoV-2 infections to the Northern American white-tailed deer. If there is a spill-over, wild deer species can act as reservoirs of SARS-CoV-2 with the possibility of the emergence of new variants.

Convalescent plasma treatment for newly diagnosed COVID-19 patients may reduce hospitalization risk

Early treatment of newly diagnosed COVID-19 patients with plasma extracted from individuals who have recovered from the disease reduces the need for hospitalization by more than 50%, according to a new nationwide clinical trial.

Prevalence of breastmilk feeding among people with SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy

Researchers evaluated the association between breastmilk feeding and the time of maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy and the rooming-in status during the hospitalization for delivery.

Study sheds light on the conformational dynamics of SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins

New computational simulations of the behavior of SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins prior to fusion with human cell receptors show that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is more stable and slower changing than the earlier version that caused the SARS epidemic in 2003.
