Background: COVID-19, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has now become endemic and is currently one of the important virus infections regularly affecting mankind. The assessment immunity against SARS-CoV-2 its variants for guiding active passive immunization SARS-CoV-2-specific treatment strategies. Methods: We here devised a novel flow cytometry-based diagnostic platform cell-bound antigens. This based on collection HEK-293T cell lines which, as exemplified in our study, stably express receptor-binding domains (RBDs) S-proteins eight major variants, ranging from Wuhan-Hu-1 to Omicron. Results: RBD-expressing display comparable levels RBD surface cells, shown with anti-FLAG-tag antibodies directed N-terminally introduced 3x-FLAG sequence while functionality was proven ACE2 binding. exemplify usefulness specificity cell-based test direct binding IgG IgA SARS-CoV-2-exposed and/or vaccinated individuals which assay shows wide linear performance range both at very low high serum antibody concentrations. In another application, i.e., adsorption studies, proved be powerful tool measuring ratios individual variant-specific antibodies. Conclusion: have established toolbox antigens, may considered an addition armamentarium tests, allowing flexible quick adaptation new concern.

SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or vaccination elicit a broad range of neutralizing antibody responses against the different variants concern (VOC). We established new variant-adapted surrogate virus neutralization test (sVNT) and assessed activity ancestral B.1 (WT) VOC Delta, Omicron BA.1, BA.2, BA.5. Analytical performances were compared respective to reference (VNT) two CE-IVD labeled kits using three cohorts collected during COVID-19 waves. Correlation analyses showed moderate strong correlation for sub-variants (Spearman's r = 0.7081 0.7205 0.6042 BA.5), WT (r 0.8458) Delta-sVNT 0.8158), respectively.

Humoral response to SARS-CoV-2 has been studied, predominantly the classical IgG and its subclasses. Although IgE antibodies are typically specific allergens or parasites, a few reports describe their production in other viruses. Here, we investigated receptor binding domain (RBD) of Brazilian cohort following natural infection vaccination. Samples from 59 volunteers were assessed after (COVID-19), primary immunization with vectored (ChAdOx1) inactivated (CoronaVac) vaccines, booster mRNA (BNT162b2) vaccine. Natural COVID-19 induced IgE, but vaccination increased levels. Subjects vaccinated two doses ChAdOx1 exhibited more robust than those immunized CoronaVac; however, boosting BNT162b2, all groups presented similar showed intermediate-to-high avidity, especially We also found IgG4 antibodies, mainly booster, they moderately correlated IgE. ELISA results confirmed by control assays, using depletion protein G lack reactivity heterologous antigen. In our cohort, no clinical data could be associated response. advocate for further research on role viral immunity, extending beyond allergies parasitic infections.

As the efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines declines over time and variants virus continue to emerge, need booster doses vaccine remains on agenda. The aim this study was assess NAbs dynamics its correlation with anti-RBD IgG levels during nine-month follow-up period after primary-CoronaVac vaccination vaccinations evaluate strategies. Methods This prospective longitudinal observational followed 226 healthcare workers who received primary (two CoronaVac) (CoronaVac or BNT162b2) immunization. Serum samples were collected at four different points, two booster.

Plasma of ACE2-blocking targeting receptor-binding domain (RBD) SARS-Co-V2 variants were measured before vaccination at 14 28 days after second dose using multiplex surrogate virus neutralization test. Anti-spike anti-nucleocapsid quantified by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay, anti-RBD IgG ELISA. After vaccination, blocking, anti-spike, increased but declined rapidly within month, whereas persisted. Blocking anti-spike correlated day post-vaccination not 28. In patients, correlations moderate 14, stronger Correlations weaker for Omicron subvariants than ancestral strain non-Omicron variants. The weak blocking suggests might These findings highlight temporal nature CoronaVac-induced immunity need booster doses variant-adapted vaccine.

Background/Objectives: Patients suffering from inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) undergoing treatment with anti-TNF antibodies mount a diminished humoral immune response to vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 compared healthy controls. The characterization of variant-specific responses is particularly warranted among immunosuppressed patients, where reduced may necessitate further medical interventions. Methods: This pilot study investigated the vaccinated IBD patients on medication and comparable group individuals viral variants Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Omicron BA.1 BA.5. While total IgG targeting receptor binding site spike protein were quantified using chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay (CMIA), their potential neutralizing capacity was determined commercial in-house surrogate virus neutralization tests (sVNTs) VSV-pseudotyped test (pVNT) as gold standard. Results: Employing assays recapitulated escape functions variants. Conspicuously, antibody reactivity Alpha BA.5 strikingly poor in patient sera post-initial individuals. A comparison diagnostic performance pVNT revealed that identification inadequate by CMIA sVNT require adjustments cut-off values end-point titration sera. Following adaptation values, exhibited all tested assay panel used substantiated impact therapy strength, function, breadth several measured following second observed first vaccination. Conclusion: Variant-specific sVNTs pVNTs have serve valuable tools for evaluating efficacy adapted vaccines inform clinical interventions care patients. Anti-TNF-treated levels below optimized threshold should be considered early booster and/or close immunological monitoring.

Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), considered a zoonotic agent of wildlife origin, can infect various animal species, including in free-range and captive environments. Detecting susceptible species potential reservoirs is crucial for preventing the transmission, spread, genetic evolution, further emergence viral variants that are major threats to global health. This study aimed detect exposure or infection by SARS-CoV-2 420 animals from 40 different terrestrial aquatic mammals, regions Spain during 2020–2023 disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic. In total, 8/137 were positive antibodies against receptor binding domain and/or nucleoprotein according independent ELISAs. However, only one ELISA-positive sample bottlenose dolphin ( Tursiops truncatus ) tested neutralizing with low titre (SNT 50 38.15) virus neutralization test. Cetaceans expected have high risk early predictive studies due similarity their angiotensin converting enzyme cell humans. Moreover, 283 analysed RNA using RT-qPCR, none positive. Our results reinforce importance considering cetaceans at support taking preventive biosecurity measures when interacting them, especially presence individuals suspected confirmed COVID-19. Although most this negative exposure, ongoing surveillance potentially important prevent future spillover events novel reservoirs.
