SARS-CoV-2 infection risks increase with time in fully vaccinated adults

A recent study describes the association between time elapsed since the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 vaccine and risk of COVID-19.

SARS-CoV-2 transmission across age groups makes age-based interventions ineffective

Researchers review critically evaluated the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 across various ages in metropolitan France.

Impact of engineered ACE2-Fc on SARS-CoV-2 infection

Researchers employ a structure-guided approach for the development of a series of ACE2-Fc variants using human IgG1 or IgG3 backbone.

Fourth shot of Moderna COVID vaccine improves Delta variant neutralization in kidney transplant patients

New research suggests that a fourth dose of the mRNA-1273 vaccine in kidney transplant recipients improves Delta variant serum neutralization.

Novel approach to estimate transmission advantage of SARS-CoV-2 variants in real-time

A new study retrospectively estimates the effective transmission advantage of the Alpha variant as compared to other non-VOC lineages.

Longer interval between COVID-19 mRNA vaccine doses leads to stronger immune response

The first peer-reviewed study in North America examining the timing between the first and second doses of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines shows that a longer dose interval leads to a stronger immune response. The study is funded by the Government of Canada through its COVID-19 Immunity Task Force.

1 Dec 2021

Safety and immunogenicity of different COVID-19 booster vaccines

New study findings suggest that booster vaccination with an mRNA-based vaccine has the highest immunogenicity against the COVID-19 Delta variant.

Structure function analysis of potent antibodies against Beta SARS-CoV-2 variant

A team of researchers from UK and US institutions created a large panel of mAbs derived from memory B cells of convalescent Beta subjects to better understand the antigenic landscape of Beta.

Impact of SARS-CoV-2 on oral health

New research examined SARS-CoV-2 and its impact on oral health and suggests that survival against the infection may be partially dependent on such factors.

1 Dec 2021

Role of interferon type I-driven responses associated with disease control in COVID-19

New research suggests that treatment with type I interferons in the early stage of COVID-19 may supress disease progression by limiting SARS-CoV-2 in hosts.

Novel nanopore technique for annotation of SARS-CoV-2 capping sites and understanding sgRNA structure

New research examined SARS-CoV-2 transcripts in order to understand how it expresses its gene products in the infected host.

COVID-19 vaccination status based infection likelihood in New Zealand

A new study has determined the possible number of infections caused by an unvaccinated versus vaccinated individual.

1 Dec 2021

Comparison of peptides from human cardiac proteins and SARS-CoV-2 proteins

A new study investigated whether linear peptides contained in proteins (primarily expressed in the heart) also occur in the SARS-CoV-2 proteome.

1 Dec 2021

Study compares NAbs from natural SARS-CoV-2 infection vs. vaccine induced against symptomatic infection

Scientists have recently compared the levels of antibody concentrations in unvaccinated, SARS-CoV-2 convalescent individuals and COVID-19 specific antibodies in vaccinated individuals.

An antiviral regimen based on biomimetic polymers for COVID-19

In a new study published on the bioRxiv* preprint server, scientists proposed the aforementioned mechanism of action (MOA) and have validated it using electron photomicrographs of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV), which were incubated with a nanoviricide.

Study shows that nucleic acid amplification tests more accurate in detecting SARS-CoV-2 than rapid antigen

Researchers use reference preparations from pooled swab samples to compare the analytical sensitivity of different SARS-CoV-2 assays
