Effects of Previous Infection and Vaccination on Symptomatic Omicron Infections.
(
Massachusetts Medical Society
, 2022 , Article)
The protection conferred by natural immunity, vaccination, and both against symptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection with the BA.1 or BA.2 sublineages of the omicron (B.1.1.529) ...
Immunoinformatics prediction of potential immunodominant epitopes from human coronaviruses and association with autoimmunity
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2022 , Article)
Cross-reactivity between different human coronaviruses (HCoVs) might contribute to COVID-19 outcomes. Here, we aimed to predict conserved peptides among different HCoVs that could elicit cross-reacting B cell and T cell ...
Identification of Prognostic Metabolomic Biomarkers at the Interface of Mortality and Morbidity in Pre-Existing TB Cases Infected With SARS-CoV-2
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2022 , Article)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection currently remains one of the biggest global challenges that can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (CARDS) in severe cases. In line with this, ...
Biological Properties of SARS-CoV-2 Variants: Epidemiological Impact and Clinical Consequences
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article Review)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a virus that belongs to the coronavirus family and is the cause of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). As of May 2022, it had caused more than 500 million ...
Effects of SARS-CoV-2 Alpha, Beta, and Delta variants, age, vaccination, and prior infection on infectiousness of SARS-CoV-2 infections
(
Frontiers Media
, 2022 , Article)
In 2021, Qatar experienced considerable incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection that was dominated sequentially by the Alpha, Beta, and Delta variants. Using the cycle threshold (Ct) value of an RT-qPCR-positive test to proxy ...
Coronavirus Disease 2019 Disease Severity in Children Infected With the Omicron Variant
(
NLM (Medline)
, 2022 , Article)
SHORT SUMMARY: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection from the Omicron variant in children/adolescents is less severe than infection from the Delta variant. Those 6 to <18 years also have less severe ...
Duration of immune protection of SARS-CoV-2 natural infection against reinfection.
(
Oxford University Press
, 2022 , Article)
The future of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic hinges on virus evolution and duration of immune protection of natural infection against reinfection. We investigated duration of protection afforded by natural infection, the effect ...
Neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 are higher but decline faster in mRNA vaccinees compared to individuals with natural infection.
(
Oxford University Press
, 2022 , Article)
Waning protection against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants by pre-existing antibodies elicited due to current vaccination or natural infection is a global concern. Whether this is due to the waning of immunity to SARS-COV-2 ...
Protection from previous natural infection compared with mRNA vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe COVID-19 in Qatar: a retrospective cohort study
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
BackgroundUnderstanding protection conferred by natural SARS-CoV-2 infection versus COVID-19 vaccination is important for informing vaccine mandate decisions. We compared protection conferred by natural infection versus ...
Evaluation of commercially available fully automated and ELISA-based assays for detecting anti-SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies
(
Nature Research
, 2022 , Article)
Rapid and accurate measurement of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2)-specific neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) is paramount for monitoring immunity in infected and vaccinated subjects. The current ...
