Detection of Antinuclear Antibodies Targeting Intracellular Signal Transduction, Metabolism, Apoptotic Processes and Cell Death in Critical COVID-19 Patients
( Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore , 2022 , Article)Background and Objectives: The heterogeneity of the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) lies within its diverse symptoms and severity, ranging from mild to lethal. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a leading ... -
High–temporal resolution profiling reveals distinct immune trajectories following the first and second doses of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines
( American Association for the Advancement of Science , 2022 , Article)Knowledge of the mechanisms underpinning the development of protective immunity conferred by mRNA vaccines is fragmentary. Here, we investigated responses to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccination via ... -
Is it the time for Hepatitis E virus (HEV) Testing for Blood Donors in Qatar?
( Qatar Foundation , 2016 , Conference)HEV is the etiologic agent of acute hepatitis E. Although HEV usually causes a self-limiting infection, the disease may develop into a chronic or fulminant form of Hepatitis. Sporadic HEV infections spread in several ... -
Magnitude of RSV Fusion Protein-Specific Antibodies in Infants and Corresponding Mothers
(2018 , Master Thesis)INTRODUCTION: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a threatening agent causing lower respiratory infections (LRI) among children, where no vaccine is available. RSV expresses three surface glycoproteins, of which the ... -
SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers more potent antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) responses than mRNA-, vector-, and inactivated virus-based COVID-19 vaccines
( Wiley , 2024 , Article)Neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) are elicited after infection and vaccination and have been well studied. However, their antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) functionality is still poorly characterized. Here, we ... -
Seroprevalence of hepatitis E virus among blood donors in Qatar (2013-2016)
( Wiley , 2017 , Article)BACKGROUND Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an RNA virus transmitted mainly through zoonotic transmission or fecal–oral route. More than 80% of Qatar's population are expatriates, including many coming from hyperendemic ...
