Since late 2021, Omicron variants have dominated the epidemiological scenario as most successful severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) sublineages, driving new and breakthrough infections globally over past two years. In this study, we investigated for first time host salivary response of COVID-19 patients infected with (BA.1, BA.2, BA.4/5) by using an untargeted four-dimensional data-independent acquisition (4D-DIA)-based proteomics approach. We identified 137 proteins whose abundance levels differed between positive negative groups. Salivary signatures were mainly enriched in ribosomal proteins, linked to mRNAviral translation, protein synthesis processing, immune innate, antiapoptotic signaling. The higher 14-3-3 (YWHAG, YWHAQ, YWHAE, SFN) saliva, reported here, may be associated increased infectivity improved viral replicative fitness. also seven (ACTN1, H2AC2, GSN, NDKA, CD109, GGH, PCYOX) that yielded comprehension into infection performed outstandingly screening a hospital setting. This panel presented enhanced anti-COVID-19 anti-inflammatory signature, providing insights disease severity, supported comparisons other proteome data sets. signature provided valuable host's SARS-CoV-2 infection, shedding light on pathophysiology COVID-19, particularly cases mild disease. It underscores potential clinical applications saliva settings. Data are available via ProteomeXchange identifier PXD054133.

ABSTRACT Seroprevalence studies play an important role in estimating the number of children infected with SARS-CoV-2. We report SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence seeking medical care for any reason at a free-standing pediatric hospital Seattle, WA over 2.5-year period and four distinct pandemic waves. randomly selected residual serum samples from young adults as inpatients outpatients Seattle Children’s Hospital between June 2020 December 2022 to test presence anti-nucleocapsid (N) antibodies. Samples were categorized into waves based on Washington State epidemiology: Wave 1 (June 2020–October 2020), 2 (November 2020–June 2021), 3 (July 2021–November 4 (December 2021–December 2022). Patient characteristics COVID-19 vaccine status obtained, zip codes used ascertain Social Vulnerability Index (SVI). Multivariable Poisson regression models robust variance estimates examine relationship patient anti-N-positivity each wave. Among 8,040 7,102 patients included analyses, rose 2.4% (95% CI, 2.0%–3.1%) 25.5% CI 23.3%–27.8%) (following Omicron surge). High SVI, Hispanic ethnicity, or use government insurance was associated increased anti-N positivity most observed steady increase followed by sharp after surge early 2022. Our data demonstrate burden specific groups health disparities within our region throughout pandemic. IMPORTANCE results highlight importance seropositivity essential tools provide information incidence prevalence seropositivity. also reinforce other reports demonstrating inequitable that this continued persist pandemic, even high adherence mitigation efforts. It highlights SVI’s value identifying communities must be part research, public vaccination strategies.

Neutralizing antibody titers have been found to be strongly correlated with observed vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic and severe COVID-19. Few non-high complexity assays are currently available detect the presence of neutralizing antibodies. This retrospective single-center cross-sectional study compared performance a lateral flow immunochromatography assay coupled spectrophotometric measurement system for detecting SARS-CoV-2 antibodies an enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) neutralization in context post-vaccination responses. The limit detection was similar ELISA strong linearity throughout measuring interval. Repeatability, interfering substances, cross-reactivity studies were robust.

The association between SARS-CoV-2 humoral immunity and post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (long COVID) remains uncertain. objective this population-based cohort study was to assess the seropositivity symptoms consistent with long COVID. English Spanish-speaking members ≥ 18 years old serologic testing conducted prior August 2021 were recruited from Kaiser Permanente Southern California Colorado. Between November April 2022, participants completed a survey assessing symptoms, physical health, mental cognitive function Survey results linked antibody (Ab) viral (RNA) lab in electronic health records.
