SARS-CoV-2 Specific IgG Antibodies Persist Over a 12-Month Period in Oral Mucosal Fluid Collected From Previously Infected Individuals

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
BackgroundDeveloping an understanding of the antibody response, seroprevalence, and seroconversion from natural infection and vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 will give way to a critical epidemiological tool to predict reinfection rates, identify ...

Optimal adaptive testing for epidemic control: combining molecular and serology tests [PDF]

Automatica, Volume 160, February 2024, 111391, 2021
The COVID-19 crisis highlighted the importance of non-medical interventions, such as testing and isolation of infected individuals, in the control of epidemics. Here, we show how to minimize testing needs while maintaining the number of infected individuals below a desired threshold.

Clinical, Laboratory, and Molecular Epidemiology of an Outbreak of Aseptic Meningitis Due to a Triple-Recombinant Echovirus in Ashburton, New Zealand

Viruses, 2022
Here, we describe a small enterovirus outbreak including nine cases of aseptic meningitis in a New Zealand hospital in 2017. Most patients had a lymphocytic predominance in the CSF, their length of stay was short, and there were no paediatric cases or ...

Evaluation of the primary biliary cholangitis-related serologic profile in a large cohort of Belgian systemic sclerosis patients [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) and primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) are autoimmune diseases that may occur concomitantly and are both strongly associated with disease-specific autoantibodies.

Patients with treated indolent lymphomas immunized with BNT162b2 have reduced anti‐spike neutralizing IgG to SARS‐CoV‐2 variants, but preserved antigen‐specific T cell responses

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 131-139, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Patients with indolent lymphoma undertaking recurrent or continuous B cell suppression are at risk of severe COVID‐19. Patients and healthy controls (HC; N = 13) received two doses of BNT162b2: follicular lymphoma (FL; N = 35) who were treatment naïve (TN; N = 11) or received immunochemotherapy (ICT; N = 23) and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia

Participation of Selected Soluble BMP-2 and BMP-7 Bone Morphogenetic Proteins and Their Soluble Type I ALK-1 and Type II BMPR2 Receptors in Formation and Development of Endometriosis

Biomedicines, 2021
Angiogenesis is considered to be one of the key stages in the development of endometriosis. Recent studies indicate that bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and their receptors (BMPR) may play an important role in the angiogenesis process.

Membrane Properties of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cultured Red Blood Cells

Cells, 2022
Cultured red blood cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells (cRBC_iPSCs) are a promising source for future concepts in transfusion medicine. Before cRBC_iPSCs will have entrance into clinical or laboratory use, their functional properties and ...
