Modelling upper respiratory viral load dynamics of SARS-CoV-2

Joseph D. Challenger et al.

Summary: The relationships between viral load, severity of illness, and transmissibility of the virus are crucial for understanding the pathogenesis of COVID-19 and developing effective therapeutic and preventive strategies. In this study, a within-host model was used to analyze the viral load dynamics in the upper respiratory tract (URT) based on data from 605 subjects. The study revealed wide variation in URT viral load between individuals, which was not explained by demographic or clinical variables. A mechanistic model was developed to describe viral load dynamics and host response, and it was found that neutralising antibodies were strongly correlated with immune-mediated control of viral load.

Omicron Variant (B.1.1.529): Infectivity, Vaccine Breakthrough, and Antibody Resistance

Jiahui Chen et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has caused global panic due to its high infectivity and ability to escape vaccines. A comprehensive analysis using an artificial intelligence model and antibody structure analysis reveals that Omicron may be over 10 times more contagious than the original virus and has an 88% likelihood of vaccine escape. This study highlights the importance of developing mutation-proof vaccines and antibodies.

The T cell immune response against SARS-CoV-2

Paul Moss

Summary: T cell immunity plays a central role in controlling SARS-CoV-2 infection, with early responses correlating with protection. T cell memory provides broad recognition of viral proteins, limiting the impact of viral variants and offering protection against severe disease. Current COVID-19 vaccines elicit robust T cell responses, contributing to the prevention of hospitalization or death. Therefore, the importance of T cell immunity may have been underestimated.

Protection against SARS-CoV-2 after Covid-19 Vaccination and Previous Infection

Victoria Hall et al.

Summary: This study investigated the duration and effectiveness of immunity among healthcare workers in the United Kingdom. It found that two doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine provided high short-term protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection, but this protection significantly decreased after six months. However, infection-acquired immunity boosted by vaccination remained high, even more than one year after infection.

Risk of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection and COVID-19 hospitalisation in individuals with natural and hybrid immunity: a retrospective, total population cohort study in Sweden

Peter Nordstrom et al.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study investigated the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination in individuals who had previously been infected with SARS-CoV-2. The study found that natural immunity provided protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 hospitalization for up to 20 months. Vaccination further reduced the risk of reinfection and hospitalization for up to 9 months, although the differences in absolute numbers, especially in hospitalizations, were small.

RT-LAMP assay for rapid detection of the R203M mutation in SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant

Jianing Yang et al.

Summary: A genotyping RT-LAMP method was designed and validated to specifically detect the Delta variant. By analyzing the amplification efficiency of two sets of primers, a Cq ratio-based RT-LAMP method was developed, which showed 100% accuracy in detecting SARS-CoV-2 clinical samples. The method demonstrated a good ability to distinguish between Delta and non-Delta variants. The study suggests that this rapid, accurate, and cost-effective RT-LAMP method may facilitate COVID-19 surveillance.

Mucosal immunity: The missing link in comprehending SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission

Michael W. Russell et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 primarily infects the upper respiratory tract through airborne transmission and induces mucosal immune responses. Injectable vaccines can prevent severe disease but do not induce mucosal immune responses. Intranasal vaccines have the potential to prevent virus acquisition and suppress community spread.

Protection and Waning of Natural and Hybrid Immunity to SARS-CoV-2

Yair Goldberg et al.

Summary: This study used data from the Israeli Ministry of Health database to compare the rate of infection with the time since immunity-confering events. The results showed that the protection against reinfection decreased over time for individuals who had previously been infected or vaccinated, but it was still higher than the protection conferred after the same time had elapsed since the second dose of vaccine among those who were previously uninfected. A single dose of vaccine after infection reinforced protection against reinfection.

IgA dominates the early neutralizing antibody response to SARS-CoV-2

Delphine Sterlin et al.

Summary: The study found that humoral immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection are dominated by IgA antibodies, with specific IgA plasmablasts rapidly expanding shortly after symptom onset and peaking in the third week of the disease. Virus-specific antibody responses include IgG, IgM, and IgA, with IgA playing a greater role in virus neutralization compared to IgG.

SARS-CoV-2 501Y.V2 escapes neutralization by South African COVID-19 donor plasma

Constantinos Kurt Wibmer et al.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 virus in the B.1.351 variant discovered in South Africa can evade neutralization by most antibodies when expressed, but does not affect binding by convalescent plasma. This suggests the potential for reinfection with antigenically distinct variants and predicts reduced efficacy of spike-based vaccines.

SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine BNT162b2 triggers a consistent cross-variant humoral and cellular response

D. Mileto et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that administration of two doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine can elicit a robust SARS-CoV-2-specific immune response up to 3 months after full vaccination, but no correlation was observed between the quantity of antibodies detected by immunoassays and their neutralizing activity. Most subjects developed a specific T-cell response, and partial immune evasion was consistent in Beta and Delta variants among vaccinated healthcare workers.
