The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 as a global health threat has called for population-wide vaccination to curb COVID-19. Hence, the World Health Organization (WHO) has approved several platforms of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines for emergency use. Therefore, a… Read more

These antibodies can block the binding of the virus onto the surface of human cells, preventing infection of the human cells. In addition, the study investigates how broadly neutralising antibodies acquire their ability to neutralise… Read more

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibody tests have had limited recommended clinical application during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. To inform clinical practice, an understanding is needed of current perspectives of United… Read more

The Omicron variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) began spreading rapidly in the community in November 2021, becoming the dominant variant in the Republic of Korea in 2022. Although its pathogenesis in… Read more

Multiple studies of vaccinated and convalescent cohorts have demonstrated that serum neutralizing antibody (nAb) titers correlate with protection against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the induction of multiple layers of immunity after severe acute respiratory… Read more

Understanding the quality of immune repertoire triggered during natural infection can provide vital clues that form the basis for development of a humoral immune response in some individuals capable of broadly neutralizing pan-SARS-CoV-2 variants. In… Read more

We investigated the persistence of SARS-CoV-2-specific neutralizing antibodies in serum (CoV-2-SNAb) against the "WH-Human 1" coronavirus in 57 convalescent persons from January 2020 to January 2021. The CoV-2-SNAb response against authentic "WH-Human 1" showed a… Read more
