Researchers demonstrated that irrespective of the type of ACT, SARS-CoV-2 infection rates in patients receiving ACT remained comparable to the general population.

25 Feb 2022

Protective immunity signatures provided by convalescent plasma for the development of COVID-19 antibody therapeutics

Researchers conducted a comprehensive and systematic analysis of functional SARS-CoV-2 antibody profiles in a controlled randomized trial of severe COVID-19 hospitalized individuals treated with COVID-19 CCP.

Serological responses to heterologous COVID-19 mRNA vaccination in older individuals

Researchers assess the serological response to a real-world COVID-19 vaccination strategy in older individuals who resided in long-term care facilities.

24 Feb 2022

Should SARS-CoV-2 Omicron be considered a serotype?

A recent article provides evidence for and against the hypothesis of SARS-CoV-2 serotypes.

24 Feb 2022

Study explores the boosting of SARS-CoV-2 adenovirus vaccine-induced immunity by capsid decoration

Researchers demonstrated that decorating the capsid surface of adenovirus vaccine vectors with a newly discovered protein superglue, DogTag/DogCatcher generates potent SARS-CoV-2-specific humoral and cellular immunity.

Genetic analysis reveals eosinophilic colitis as a unique disease

A condition called eosinophilic colitis is distinct from other, similar eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases and inflammatory bowel disease, according to a genetic analysis published in Gastroenterology.

24 Feb 2022

Foundational characterization of a new bat-borne ebolavirus and its potential as a human pathogen

Researchers sought to evaluate the zoonotic potential of BOMV to assess the level of risk to public health.

24 Feb 2022

Third dose of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine efficiently recalls Omicron-reactive B cell memory

A new study examined how the quantity and quality of antibody and memory B cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 change temporally and with the number of exposures to antigens.

24 Feb 2022

Study reports persistent SARS-CoV-2 lingering within tissues of patients with long COVID

Researchers investigated whether residual SARS-CoV-2 antigens and RNA are present in tissues samples of long COVID-19 patients beyond the convalescent phase of COVID-19.

24 Feb 2022

Immunomolecular detection method to rapidly and accurately detect complete SARS-CoV-2 virions

Researchers developed a hybrid assay incorporating immunological antibody-based viral spike protein capture with molecular nucleic acid amplification by qRT-PCR.

24 Feb 2022

Antibody levels against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein up to 12 months after COVID-19 infection in non-vaccinated individuals

A recent study assessed the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 antibody five and 12 months post-infection in non-vaccinated patients.

24 Feb 2022

Pulmonary dysfunction in pediatric patients after acute COVID-19 infection

A recent study examined the pulmonary dysfunction persistent in pediatric populations post-acute COVID-19 infection.

24 Feb 2022

Immune responses in patients with varying degrees of SARS-CoV-2 infection

In a recent research article published in the journal PLoS ONE, researchers looked at immunological responses in relation to established risk factors for serious illness. This prospective cohort study reports on long-lasting SARS-CoV-2 specific antibody and T-cellular immune responses six months after infection in rt-PCR confirmed cases of different illness severity (community and hospitalized patients).

24 Feb 2022

Edible egg-derived IgY antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron

A new study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server reports on the development of anti-RBD immunoglobulin Y (IgY) antibodies from chicken eggs to block the binding of the viral RBD to human ACE2 receptors. This approach has several advantages since chicken egg-derived IgY can be edible and polyclonal can target multiple epitopes, enhancing neutralizing activity.
