Study confirms waning immunity in adolescents following two doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines

Researchers test the durability of antibodies produced by a vaccine-induced full-length SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and receptor-binding domain.

Exploring the structural basis of antibody evasion and enhanced transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant

In a new study, researchers used cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) analysis to capture the open and closed states of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variant’s spike protein.

COVID-19 infection sera analysis against varying antigens of SARS-CoV-2 variants

In a new study, researchers assessed the sera from COVID-19 infected and vaccinated individuals against the receptor-binding domain in the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 wildtype virus and its variants.

The impact of Comirnaty vaccination on the levels of PEG specific antibodies

Researchers observe an increase in PEG antibodies following vaccination with the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA lipid nanoparticle vaccine.

An egg-derived SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and treatment for COVID-19 disease

A new study, posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, has focussed on the development of intranasal prophylaxis against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

11 Jan 2022

Neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 variants by three-dose mRNA vaccinated kidney transplant recipient sera

In a new study, researchers determined three-dose messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccinated kidney transplant recipients’ (KTRs) neutralizing responses against SARS-COV-2 variants, breakthrough coronavirus disease 2019 infection rate, and transplant rejection rate.

Humoral and cellular response to primary and booster COVID-19 vaccination in immunosuppressed patients

Researchers posted the results of a retrospective observational cohort study in which they determined the humoral and cellular responses in ISP to primary and booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines.

10 Jan 2022

Reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 in children

These findings bear out earlier reports that COVID-19 is less frequent and severe in children than adults.

7 Jan 2022

Study suggests that previous COVID-19 infections do not affect pregnancy

A new study shows that it is exceedingly likely that past infection with SARS-CoV-2 has no significant effect on antibody or cytokine levels during pregnancy, labor or delivery.

6 Jan 2022

Serological antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 infection at a population level

The scientists in this study used pooled convalescent serum to examine the serologic response in a population at risk of infection.

6 Jan 2022

Booster dose elicits cross-reactive humoral immunity against SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron variants

Researchers determine the cross-reactivity of the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein-induced antibodies before and after a third SARS-CoV-2 vaccine dose.

5 Jan 2022

New CRISPR-based assay can non-invasively detect a biomarker of acute kidney rejection in urine

When a patient receives a kidney transplant, doctors carefully monitor them for signs of rejection in several ways, including biopsy. However, this procedure is invasive and can only detect issues at a late stage.

5 Jan 2022

Exploring vaccine-induced cellular immunity against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant

In a new study, researchers determined CD8+ and CD4+ T cell responses against the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant in 51 individuals vaccinated with the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based Pfizer and adenovirus vector-based Johnson & Johnson vaccines.

Sino Biological Deposits Recombinant Omicron Proteins and Antibodies to BEI Resources

Sino Biological, Inc. (SZSE: 301047) has recently deposited reagents for the Omicron variant, including recombinant proteins to Spike and Nucleocapsid, and antibody products to BEI Resources, a central repository for reagents to support infectious disease research.

NAbs activity against SARS-CoV-2 variants, including Omicron, in an elderly vaccinated cohort

Researchers investigate the neutralizing antibody activity against different variants of SARS-CoV-2 in fully immunized elderly individuals.

3 Jan 2022

TriSb92 as a potential inhibitor against SARS-CoV-2 variants including Omicron

New findings indicate that TriSb92 is a potent inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 infection targeting a conserved site in the RBD of the spike, which is insensitive for immune escape mutations found in the relevant variants of concern, including Omicron

31 Dec 2021

At least 3 exposures to vaccine or virus needed for minimum protection against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron

Researchers determine the serum neutralizing and binding activity against the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant in individuals with different levels of immunity.

29 Dec 2021

3-dose vaccines deemed ultrapotent against diverse and highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 Omicron and other variants

A new study found that the presence of a subset of antibodies with broad neutralizing activities against all circulating variants of concern in the three-dose vaccines' memory B-derived antibody repertoire suggests that the Omicron/future variants infection may elicit selective and rapid recall of humoral responses, conferring secondary protection directed by memory etched in the immune system.

29 Dec 2021

Pre-existing immunity against influenza can lower SARS-CoV-2 infection burden and spread

A recent study by a team of European researchers demonstrated how antibodies induced by currently circulating influenza A H1N1 strains can cross-react with the important part of the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein that interacts with the human cell receptor. Their paper is currently available on the medRxiv* preprint server while it undergoes peer review.

28 Dec 2021

Extended interval between second and third vaccination beneficial against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant

A new study proposes a multi-boost vaccine strategy with a longer duration between the second and third dose, as that would be beneficial in acquiring immunity against severely mutated SARS-CoV-2 variants.
