Comparison of Antibody Class-Specific SARS-CoV-2 Serologies for the Diagnosis of Acute COVID-19

Hans Verkerke et al.

Summary: Accurate diagnosis of acute severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is crucial for proper management of patients. Laboratory-developed class-specific clinical serology was found to have higher sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing SARS-CoV-2 infection in hospitalized patients, with IgA performing the best, especially in the early stages of infection.

Summary: A study evaluating the quantitative Roche Elecsys anti-SARS-CoV-2 S assay showed high sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value in detecting SARS-CoV-2 antibodies post-infection. The study also demonstrated the assay's highest sensitivity at 15 to 30 days post-KR positivity and varying negative predictive values at different time points post-PCR positivity.

A New SARS-CoV-2 Dual-Purpose Serology Test: Highly Accurate Infection Tracing and Neutralizing Antibody Response Detection

Sean C. Taylor et al.

Summary: The cPass surrogate virus neutralization test (sVNT) is a highly accurate tool for monitoring SARS-CoV-2 immunity, providing valuable assistance in surveillance of infected/recovered and/or vaccinated individuals, as well as in drug and convalescent-phase donor screening. The data also suggest potential applications for calibrating live-cell neutralization tests and longitudinal testing of recovered and/or vaccinated patients.

Single-dose administration and the influence of the timing of the booster dose on immunogenicity and efficacy of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AZD1222) vaccine: a pooled analysis of four randomised trials

Merryn Voysey et al.

Summary: The AZD1222 vaccine has been approved for emergency use in the UK with an interval of 4-12 weeks between doses. Analysis shows that the vaccine is efficacious with two doses and provides immunoprotection after the first dose before the second dose is administered.

Thrombocytopenia with acute ischemic stroke and bleeding in a patient newly vaccinated with an adenoviral vector-based COVID-19 vaccine

Rolf Ankerlund Blauenfeldt et al.

Summary: This study reported the first Danish case of presumed inflammatory and thrombotic response following vaccination with the AZD1222 COVID-19 vaccine. The patient, a 60-year-old woman, experienced abdominal pain 7 days after vaccination, along with adrenal hemorrhages, ischemic stroke, and ultimately death. Blood tests revealed significant drops in platelet counts and increased D-dimer levels, suggesting a novel immune-mediated response to the vaccine.

Efficacy of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AZD1222) vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern 202012/01 (B.1.1.7): an exploratory analysis of a randomised controlled trial

Katherine R. W. Emary et al.

Summary: A post-hoc analysis was conducted on the efficacy of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine against the B.1.1.7 variant of SARS-CoV-2 in the UK. The vaccine showed reduced neutralisation activity against the B.1.1.7 variant in vitro, but still demonstrated efficacy against the B.1.1.7 variant of the virus.
