Elevated SARS-CoV-2 IgG4 in plasma and mucosa following repeated mRNA boosters impact antibody functions to Omicron and sarbecoviruses
Elevated SARS-CoV-2 IgG4 levels following repeated COVID-19 mRNA boosters may impact blood and mucosal antibody functions against Omicron variants and sarbecoviruses.
Pre-existing and early cellular immune factors correlate with functionally complete protection against primary controlled human SARS-CoV-2 infection
Identifying host factors that mediate protection against newly-emergent viruses is needed for improved pandemic preparedness.
Mucosal COVID-19 vaccines in clinical development
Mucosal vaccines are designed to elicit both a strong systemic and mucosal immune response gaining importance as the next generation of vaccines
Antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 variants LP.8.1, LF.7.1, NB.1.8.1, XFG and BA.3.2 following KP.2 monovalent mRNA vaccination
The evolution of SARS-CoV-2 has resulted in antigenically distinct variants that challenge vaccine-induced immunity.
Comparing methods collecting mucosal secretions and detecting SARS-CoV-2 spike IgA in three laboratories across three countries
Several mucosal vaccines are in development, and consistent methodologies assessing mucosal IgA are crucial for evaluation across clinical trials.
XBB.1.5 monovalent vaccine induces lasting cross-reactive responses to SARS-CoV-2 variants such as HV.1 and JN.1, as well as SARS-CoV-1, but elicits limited XBB.1.5 specific antibodies
The evolution of the antibody response to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is impacted by the nature and number of antigenic exposures.
Variants and vaccines impact nasal immunity over three waves of SARS-CoV-2
Viral variant and host vaccination status impact infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), yet how these factors shift cellular responses in the human nasal mucosa remains uncharacterized.
SARS-COV-2 re-infection and incidence of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) among essential workers in New York: a retrospective cohort study
After surviving Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), some people develop symptoms known as post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC). PASC is an emerging phenomenon yet to be fully understood, and identifying risk factors has been challenging.
