An antibody is a blood protein that is produced in response to and counteracts an antigen. Antibodies are produced in response to disease and help the body fight against the particular disease. In this way, antibodies help the body develop an immunity to disease.

Recent findings on T-cell immunity induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination in immunocompromised individuals

Researchers discussed studies that explored T-cell immunity induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination in cancer patients, individuals with HIV, and recipients of solid organ transplants.

8 Feb 2023

Cellular and humoral responses and the safety of recombinant and inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in chronic kidney disease patients

Researchers investigated the B cell and humoral immune responses elicited against inactivated and recombinant SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and their safety profiles in patients with CKD.

The nature of the immune responses induced by various COVID-19 vaccines developed using different platforms and formulations

Researchers reviewed existing achievements and shortcomings in SARS-CoV-2 vaccine platforms, as well as future-generation vaccine considerations.

7 Feb 2023

The safety profile and the actual known adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccines in at-risk and healthy individuals

Researchers discussed the safety of COVID-19 vaccines in healthy people and patients with autoimmunity or cardiac issues.

7 Feb 2023

New method for ultra-fast detection of coronavirus using nanosensors

The ability of gold particles to reflect light in different colors is used in applications from stained glass to pregnancy tests.

6 Feb 2023

A technicality could keep RSV shots from kids in need

After more than five decades of trying, the drug industry is on the verge of providing effective immunizations against the respiratory syncytial virus, which has put an estimated 90,000 U.S. infants and small children in the hospital since the start of October.

6 Feb 2023

Virus Watch: A cohort study of COVID-19 in households of England and Wales

A new study posted on the pre-print medRxiv* aimed to discuss how Virus Watch provided public health approaches that were effective for the investigation of community incidence, symptom profiles, and the transmission of COVID-19, as well as the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines.
