Discovery of potent neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 variants

In a recent study, the researchers identify and characterize mAbs that are effective against the wild-type SARS-CoV-2 strain and B.1.351 variant.

Study compares efficacy of BNT162b2 and CoronaVac as the booster dose for COVID-19 vaccination

A recent study reports the immunogenicity and safety of BNT162b2 and CoronaVac as the third dose in CoronaVac-immunized adults.

Researchers explain why decaying SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in blood are not a problem after vaccination

A new study published in the preprint bioRxiv* server suggests vaccination helps to inflate the number of somatic hypermutations acquired by B cells. The increase in somatic hypermutations allows for an accumulation of highly matured bone marrow plasma cells.

Rapid antibody response induced by mRNA COVID vaccines in mice

A new study posted in the bioRxiv* preprint server used mouse models to investigate how mRNA vaccines elicit a rapid antibody response. Their findings show two different mRNA vaccines successfully boost antibody levels — IL-5, IL-6, and MCP-1 —5 days after administration.

New data points to major SARS-CoV-2 animal reservoir in deer in Iowa

A new study tests the hypothesis that white-tailed deer are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Convalescent plasma post-vaccination increases binding and neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 variants

A recent study assesses the boost in antibodies against SARS-CoV-2)variants post-vaccination in plasma samples from previously infected COVID-19 patients.

New type of COVID vaccine potentially easier to produce and does not need refrigeration

Currently available COVID vaccines require cold storage and sophisticated manufacturing capacity, which makes it difficult to produce and distribute them widely, especially in less developed countries.

Study opens a window for new therapeutic approaches to ovarian cancer

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has uncovered a cellular interaction that is essential to the ability of the immune system's cytotoxic T lymphocytes to destroy ovarian tumors and shown that its engagement could help determine the efficacy of checkpoint blockade immunotherapy in a variety of cancers.

Genomic characterization of SARS-CoV-2 gamma variant in Brazil

In this study, researchers describe the full-length SARS-CoV-2 genomes of 44 clinical samples from Amazonas, Brazil.

4 Nov 2021

Development of SARS-CoV-2 detection platform using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy

Researchers have tried to develop an innovative platform for ultrasensitive and rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 by exploiting a variation of Raman Spectroscopy.

4 Nov 2021

SARS-CoV-2 detected in white-tailed deer with possible zooanthroponotic spillover events

The study aimed to test the hypothesis that the infection and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 of deer occurred in nature.

Novel model-based framework evaluates immune mechanism of COVID-19 vaccine response

A model framework for characterizing viral dynamics and vaccine efficacy in non-human primates is described and applied to the identification of correlates of protection in three independent vaccine studies.

Identification of novel SARS-CoV-2 alpha variant sub-lineage in Europe

Scientists from Germany have recently identified a new sub-lineage of the alpha variant of SARS-CoV-2 in some European countries.

Unexpected antibody discovery provides new insight into how the body responds to malaria infection

Malaria, a pathogen transmitted into blood by mosquitoes in tropical climates, is typically thought of as a blood and liver infection.
