Abstract The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants with mutations in major neutralizing antibody-binding sites can affect humoral immunity induced by infection or vaccination (1-6). We analysed the development of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody [...]
Monoclonal antibody therapies hold great promise for COVID-19; however, the recent emergence and spread of escape variants threaten to limit their value. Shown here are structural and linear representations of [...]
Highlights Most recovered COVID-19 patients mount broad, durable immunity after infection Neutralizing antibodies show a bi-phasic decay with half-lives >200 days Spike IgG+ memory B cells increase and persist post-infection Durable [...]
Identification of over 200 long Covid symptoms prompts call for UK screening programme - UCL News Patients who experience long Covid have reported more than 200 symptoms across 10 organ [...]
Abstract The emergency use authorization of two mRNA vaccines in less than a year since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 represents a landmark in vaccinology1,2. Yet, how mRNA vaccines stimulate the [...]
Recent studies suggest that neutralizing antibodies could serve as a correlate of protection for vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 in humans. Adaptive humoral and cellular immune responses to infection are typically pathogen [...]
From scientific reports on COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 we have curated a handful: An interactive website tracking COVID-19 vaccine development - The Lancet July 8; Immunity; Correlates of Protection A correlate [...]
The Economist - Jul 3rd 2021 For much of 2020 the covid-19 virus was, in genetic terms, a little dull. Early in the pandemic a version of sars-cov-2 that was [...]
Source: Research Square DOI: 10.21203/rs.3.rs-637724/v1 Download PDF ABSTRACT The SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant was first identified in the state of Maharashtra in late 2020 and has spread throughout India, displacing [...]
A codon table can be used to translate a genetic code into a sequence of amino acids.[1][2] The standard genetic code is traditionally represented as an RNA codon table, because when proteins are made in a cell by ribosomes, it is messenger RNA that directs protein [...]
