Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of SARS-CoV-2 in patients exposed to MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 antigens
Thomas, Swapna; Smatti, Maria K.; Alsulaiti, Haya; Zedan, Hadeel T.; Eid, Ali H.; Hssain, Ali A.; Abu Raddad, Laith J.; Gentilcore, Giusy; Ouhtit, Allal; Althani, Asmaa A.; Nasrallah, Gheyath K.; Grivel, Jean Charles; Yassine, Hadi M.... more authors ... less authors ( Wiley , 2024 , Article)This study evaluated the potential for antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) in serum samples from patients exposed to Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Furthermore, we evaluated the effect of severe ... -
Antioxidative Stress Metabolic Pathways in Moderately Active Individuals
Almuraikhy, Shamma; Anwardeen, Najeha; Doudin, Asmma; Sellami, Maha; Domling, Alexander; Agouni, Abdelali; Althani, Asmaa A.; Elrayess, Mohamed A.... more authors ... less authors ( MDPI , 2023 , Article)Physical activity (PA) is known to have beneficial effects on health, primarily through its antioxidative stress properties. However, the specific metabolic pathways that underlie these effects are not fully understood. ... -
Assessment of Broadly Reactive Responses in Patients With MERS-CoV Infection and SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination
Zedan, Hadeel T.; Smatti, Maria K.; Thomas, Swapna; Nasrallah, Gheyath K.; Afifi, Nahla M.; Hssain, Ali Ait; Abu Raddad, Laith J.; Coyle, Peter V.; Grivel, Jean Charles; Almaslamani, Muna A.; Althani, Asmaa A.; Yassine, Hadi M.... more authors ... less authors ( American Medical Association , 2023 , Article)Importance: In the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there remain unanswered questions regarding the nature and importance of the humoral immune response against other coronaviruses.

Identification of potential natural inhibitors of the receptor-binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein using a computational docking approach
Mathew, Shilu Mathew; Benslimane, Fatiha; Althani, Asmaa A.; Yassine, Hadi M. ( HBKU Press , 2021 , Article)Background: The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the only zoonotic-origin CoV to reach the pandemic stage, to which neither an effective vaccine nor a specific therapy is available. The ... -
SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers more potent antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) responses than mRNA-, vector-, and inactivated virus-based COVID-19 vaccines
