Maternal and neonatal cord-blood antibody profile in response to SARS-CoV-2

The goal of the current research was to determine the profile and specificity of maternal serum and neonatal cord blood antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 virus exposure in mothers.

Neutralizing antibody response against SARS-CoV-2 variants in health care workers pre- and post-vaccination

Researchers examined neutralizing antibody levels in 48 vaccinated health care workers against the major SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Long term vaccine response following Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination in hemodialysis patients

Researchers discuss the long-term humoral immune responses in hemodialysis patients after being vaccinated with the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine.

Biologic agent dupilumab effective in improving asthma exacerbations and lung function, study shows

A new medication has been added to the treatment options for children with moderate-to-severe asthma. In a late-stage clinical trial, the biologic agent dupilumab reduced the rate of severe asthma attacks and improved lung function and asthma control for children ages 6 to 11.

Researchers develop a battery-free, wearable device for real-time nicotine monitoring

Some studies have shown that nicotine, an addictive substance in electronic cigarettes, increases the risk of cardiovascular and respiratory disorders. But to get a full understanding of its potential health effects, a real-time nicotine monitoring device is needed.

Effect of SARS-CoV-2 variant emergence on efficacy of neutralizing antibodies and vaccines

A review article focuses on the efficacy of neutralizing antibodies and vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 variants.

SARS-CoV-2 variants are evolving new ways to evade antibodies and vaccines

Continued replication of severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) under selective pressure from natural and vaccine-induced immunity has led to the emergence of variants of concern (VOCs) with increased transmissibility or virulence.

Neutralization antibodies elevated in nursing home residents after COVID-19 mRNA boosters

Researchers from the United States, in their recent study published on the preprint server medRxiv*, have evaluated the humoral responses to third vaccine dose in nursing home residents and healthcare workers (HCW) and found that that second booster (or third vaccine dose) significantly increased anti-spike, anti-receptor binding domain (RBD), and neutralization titers in almost all nursing home residents and HCW to considerably higher levels than what was attained after the completion of the initial two-dose vaccine series.

SARS-CoV-2 antibody profiles in vaccinated and convalescent macaques compared to humans

New findings suggest that Macaque monkeys may not be the ideal model when testing for SARS-CoV-2.

Breastmilk T cell repertoire is enriched for SARS-CoV-2 Spike-specificity after maternal mRNA vaccination

New study demonstrates that it is possible one day that breastmilk samples will be used to characterize broad mucosal immunity after vaccination.

Epigenetic clocks have potential as biomarkers of COVID-19 vaccine responses

New findings have important implications for research into the impact of COVID-19 and the mRNA vaccination on epigenetic aging in the immune system.

SARS-CoV-2 re-infection from new variant after natural infection

Researchers survey incidences of SARS-CoV-2 infection in both care home staff and residents early in the pandemic.

New research reveals how Europeans evolved greater resistance against anthrax

New research from the Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine has revealed how humans evolved greater resistance against anthrax multiple times during history: when they developed a diet of more ruminants, and when agricultural practices took hold.

New approach to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of liver cancer immunotherapy

In recent years, tumor immunotherapy has emerged as a highly promising and much-touted oncological approach.

Multiplex proteomic panel assay for assessment of disease severity and outcome prediction in COVID-19

According to the authors of a new study, multiplex protein panel assay could support clinical decision-making, guide the development of novel treatments, and expand the risk assessment procedures for COVID-19.

Study analyzes which factors play a role when people decide for or against vaccination

Getting vaccinated against Covid-19 can play a crucial role in ending the pandemic. But too many people are rejecting the vaccination. In a large online survey in May 2021, a team from the psychology department at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) analyzed which factors play a role when people decide for or against vaccination.
