Beyond neutralization: Fc-dependent antibody effector functions in SARS-CoV-2 infection

open access: yesNature reviews. Immunology, 2022
Neutralizing antibodies are known to have a crucial role in protecting against SARS-CoV-2 infection and have been suggested to be a useful correlate of protection for vaccine clinical trials and for population-level surveys.

Neutrality in the Metaorganism

open access: yesPLOS Biology, 2018
AbstractAlmost all animals and plants are inhabited by diverse communities of microorganisms, the microbiota, thereby forming an integrated entity, the metaorganism. Natural selection should favor hosts that shape the community composition of these microbes to promote a beneficial host-microbe symbiosis.

A niche for neutrality [PDF]

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2007
AbstractEcologists now recognize that controversy over the relative importance of niches and neutrality cannot be resolved by analyzing species abundance patterns. Here, we use classical coexistence theory to reframe the debate in terms of stabilizing mechanisms (niches) and fitness equivalence (neutrality).

To be Neutral or Not Neutral? The In-Network Caching Dilemma

open access: yesIEEE Internet Computing, 2018
Caching allows Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to reduce network traffic and Content Providers (CPs) to increase the offered QoS. However, when contents are encrypted, effective caching is possible only if ISPs and CPs cooperate. We suggest possible forms of non-discriminatory cooperation that make caching compliant with the principles of Net ...

SARS-CoV-2 Neutralization with BNT162b2 Vaccine Dose 3

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2021
To the Editor: We conducted a global, randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 1–2–3 pivotal trial in which two 30-μg doses of BNT162b2 (Pfizer–BioNTech) were administered 21 days apart (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT04368728).

Establishment and validation of a pseudovirus neutralization assay for SARS-CoV-2

open access: yesEmerging Microbes and Infections, 2020
Pseudoviruses are useful virological tools because of their safety and versatility, especially for emerging and re-emerging viruses. Due to its high pathogenicity and infectivity and the lack of effective vaccines and therapeutics, live SARS-CoV-2 has to

Neutralization against BA.2.75.2, BQ.1.1, and XBB from mRNA Bivalent Booster

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2022
To the Editor: The emergence of the highly divergent B.1.1.529 (omicron) variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) led to concerns about the efficacy of vaccines based on the ancestral spike and to the approval in the United

A water stable Cu-MOF/GO composite as a persulfate activator for efficient degradation of dye wastewater

open access: yesJournal of Saudi Chemical Society
Water pollution caused by textile dyes is considered a major and growing issue. To address this challenge, in this research, water-stable Cu-MOFs/GO composite catalysts were produced using the hydrothermal synthesis method as an efficient persulfate (PDS)

Layered oxide cathodes for sodium‐ion batteries: From air stability, interface chemistry to phase transition

open access: yesInfoMat, 2023
Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) are considered as a low‐cost complementary or alternative system to prestigious lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) because of their similar working principle to LIBs, cost‐effectiveness, and sustainable availability of sodium ...

Protocol and Reagents for Pseudotyping Lentiviral Particles with SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein for Neutralization Assays

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2020
SARS-CoV-2 enters cells using its Spike protein, which is also the main target of neutralizing antibodies. Therefore, assays to measure how antibodies and sera affect Spike-mediated viral infection are important for studying immunity.
