Use of Envelope Domain III Protein for the Detection of IgG Type Antibodies Specific to Zika Virus by Indirect ELISA

Oumar Ndiaye et al.

Summary: This study describes an indirect ELISA for detecting specific IgG antibodies against ZIKV using the EDIII protein expressed in Drosophila S2 cells as an immunogen. The EDIII-ELISA showed a high sensitivity of 100.0% and specificity of 94.7% when compared to PRNTs, with 0.208 as the cut-off OD value. The recombinant EDIII can improve the sensitivity and specificity of IgG ELISA assay for ZIKV diagnostics.

The potential significance of high avidity immunoglobulin G (IgG) for protective immunity towards SARS-CoV-2

Georg Bauer

Summary: Avidity plays a crucial role in determining the strength of binding between IgG and its target epitope. The lack of high avidity IgG may lead to insufficient protective immunity. It is suggested to include avidity determination in evaluating vaccination protocols for SARS-CoV-2 to achieve truly protective immunity.

Assessment of avidity related to IgG subclasses in SARS-CoV-2 Brazilian infected patients

Andrew D. Moura et al.

Summary: This study assessed antibody levels, avidity, and subclasses of IgG against RBD protein in symptomatic COVID-19 patients in Brazil. Results showed that severe COVID-19 patients had higher antibody levels, most patients had low antibody avidity, and some life-threatening patients showed increased IgG4 levels in the first week of symptoms onset. The findings highlight the importance of IgG antibody avidity and IgG4 detection as a potential tool in monitoring hospitalized patients with severe disease.
