COVID-19 Serology at Population Scale: SARS-CoV-2-Specific Antibody Responses in Saliva

Pranay R. Randad et al.

Summary: This study found that salivary antibodies could be a noninvasive alternative for monitoring SARS-CoV-2 infection and seropositivity at a population scale. The results showed a high correlation between salivary and serum antibodies, and high sensitivity and specificity of salivary antibodies for detecting COVID-19 infection.

Comprehensive assessment of humoral response after Pfizer BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 vaccination: a three-case series

Elisa Danese et al.

Summary: The BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine elicits a strong humoral immune response, particularly involving anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgA, which is further amplified by the second vaccine dose.

Antibody response to first and second dose of BNT162b2 in a cohort of characterized healthcare workers

Andrea Padoan et al.

Summary: The study found significant differences in antibody levels at day 12 after receiving the BNT162b2 vaccine between infection-naive individuals and those with previous natural infection, but no differences were observed thereafter. There were no statistically significant differences between males and females, while individuals over 60 years of age had lower antibody levels at day 12 but not at day 28. The influence of sex and age on vaccine responses warrants further investigation, with age showing particular significance.
