The strength and breadth of antibody responses elicited by hybrid immunity to COVID-19 vaccination or infection alone

Researchers assessed neutralizing antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 after receiving one dose of vaccine.

8 Jul 2022

Nanoparticle vaccine could protect against animal viruses including future SARS-CoV-2 variants

A recent study published in the Science journal depicted that mosaic receptor-binding domain (RBD) nanoparticles immunize from diverse sarbecovirus challenges, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), among animal models.

8 Jul 2022

Research assesses antigenic co-evolution of SARS-CoV-2 variants

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers analyzed antigenic variety across the significant severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants, like Omicron lineages.

Antibodies transmitted through breast milk persist six months after COVID mRNA vaccination

Researchers describe the effects of COVID-19 vaccines in lactating mothers and relates their antibody response to the protection of their children.

7 Jul 2022

After 3 doses of COVID vaccine, most cancer patients retain detectable humoral immunity

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers assessed the efficacy and durability of immune responses to the third dose of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines. They also assessed the efficacy of the fourth vaccine dose among severely immunocompromised patients with hematological malignancies.

Global health campaigners disappointed with WTO deal to waive some patent rules on vaccine exports

A decision by the World Trade Organization (WTO) to waive certain intellectual property (IP) rules in order to widen access to COVID-19 vaccines has been met with disappointment by global health campaigners.

Novel point-of-care biosensing device detects measles virions in human saliva

Measles is one of the most infectious airborne viruses worldwide. An inexpensive and effective vaccine is available, but Measles is common in developing countries and sporadic outbreaks also occur in developed countries, primarily due to non-vaccinated people.

Broadness of neutralizing antibodies to sarbecoviruses depends on priming conditions

In a recent study under review at the Nature Portfolio journal and currently available on the Research Square* preprint server, researchers identified immune priming conditions that generated broadly neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses and assessed immunity post-third dose of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines such as BNT126b2 or Coronavac vaccines after two homologous doses of BNT126b2 or Coronavac vaccines.

Study offers insights into potentially problematic interactions between viruses and live vaccines

A study of a herpes virus that infects chickens offers new insights into potentially problematic interactions between vaccines made from live viruses and the viruses they are meant to thwart.

Vaccine generates antibodies that target SARS-CoV-2 spike protein regions shared among many coronaviruses

Could the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine reawaken previous antibody responses and point the way to a universal coronavirus vaccine? A new analysis of the antibody response to a COVID-19 vaccine suggests the immune system's history with other coronaviruses, including those behind the common cold, shapes the patient's response, according to a study published today in Cell Reports.
