Study found that an antibody, P36-5D2, demonstrated a substantial decrease in infectious virus load in the lungs and brain, and reduced lung disease in laboratory…
The Omicron variant was detected for the first time in South Africa in November 2021 and has since spread to many countries. It is expected…
UMass Amherst research first to detect SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in infant stool. Women vaccinated against COVID-19 transfer SARS-CoV-2 antibodies to their breastfed infants, potentially giving their…
Cedars-Sinai Investigators Found Evidence of an Overactive Immune Response. Infection with the virus that causes COVID-19 can trigger an immune response that lasts well beyond…
It is widely understood that antibodies neutralize viruses by latching onto their surfaces and blocking them from infecting host cells. But new research reveals that…
The findings could lead to the development of more effective vaccines and antibody treatments for COVID-19 variants. An international team of scientists have identified antibodies…
New Study Adds More Evidence for Omicron Immune Evasion Results suggest that previously infected individuals and fully vaccinated individuals are at risk for COVID-19 infection…
A combination of vaccination and naturally acquired infection appears to boost the production of maximally potent antibodies against the COVID-19 virus, new UCLA research finds. The…
Antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein produced by the immune system can help identify and fend off future infections, but not all antibodies are the…
New study models future SARS-CoV-2 mutations and forecasts their ability to evade immune defenses developed by vaccines and antibody-based treatments. Since the study was completed,…
Vaccines are effective in decreasing hospitalization and deaths from COVID-19 infection but the emergence of viral variants of concern may diminish their efficacy. A study…
With around 256 million cases and more than 5 million deaths worldwide, the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged scientists and those in the medical field. Researchers…
With the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants worldwide, the pandemic’s spread is accelerating. A research team led by Joelle Pelletier and Jean-François Masson, both professors in…
The antibodies’ ability to neutralize COVID-19 did not differ significantly over the six-month period. A Michigan Medicine study found that most patients with mild COVID-19…
Researchers in Japan have developed a vaccination strategy in mice that promotes the production of antibodies that can neutralize not only SARS-CoV-2 but a broad…
Researchers at the University of Southampton and biopharma company UCB have found a way to enhance the natural ability of therapeutic antibodies to attack blood…
In a study of patients with COVID-19 being treated in intensive care units, people who mounted only a low antibody response against the SARS-CoV-2 virus…
