Neutralization assays constitute the definitive means to quantify the functional capacity of antibodies to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 entry into host cells. By assessing how serum or monoclonal antibodies ...

An easily implementable serological assay to accurately detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) neutralizing antibodies is urgently needed to better track herd immunity, ...

Biomedical research faces a ubiquitous and fundamental challenge: Because the goal of the research is to improve human health, the human body is logically the best place to perform experiments.

Mutations of virus and illnesses caused by new variants are still to be expected even in a SARS-CoV-2 situation that has now become endemic. Although the population has developed specific immune ...

These data further support the cross-neutralization ability of the omicron-containing bivalent booster vaccine against emerging omicron subvariants that are not contained in the vaccine. Real-world ...

In a recent study posted to bioRxiv*, researchers evaluated how angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expression in target cells impacts neutralization. Study: Receptor binding domain (RBD) ...
