Impact of COVID-19 on Cytomegalovirus Immunoglobulin M Antibody Index
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) influenced the prevalence of other infectious diseases, including congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. However, the effect of COVID-19 on antibody titers has not been reported.

An Ising-Like model for protein mechanical unfolding [PDF]
The mechanical unfolding of proteins is investigated by extending the Wako-Saito-Munoz-Eaton model, a simplified protein model with binary degrees of freedom, which has proved successful in describing the kinetics of protein folding. Such a model is generalized by including the effect of an external force, and its thermodynamics turns out to be exactly

OLGA: fast computation of generation probabilities of B- and T-cell receptor amino acid sequences and motifs [PDF]
Motivation: High-throughput sequencing of large immune repertoires has enabled the development of methods to predict the probability of generation by V(D)J recombination of T- and B-cell receptors of any specific nucleotide sequence. These generation probabilities are very non-homogeneous, ranging over 20 orders of magnitude in real repertoires.

Peptidylarginine deiminase 2 citrullinates MZB1 and promotes the secretion of IgM and IgA
IntroductionMZB1 is an endoplasmic reticulum residential protein preferentially expressed in plasma cells, marginal zone and B1 B cells. Recent studies on murine B cells show that it interacts with the tail piece of IgM and IgA heavy chain and promotes ...

Rapid Immunoglobulin M-Based Dengue Diagnostic Test Using Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensor
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a medical diagnosis technique with high sensitivity and specificity. In this research, a new method based on SPR is proposed for rapid, 10-minute detection of the anti-dengue virus in human serum samples.
