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 ... -
