Recovered COVID-19 patients may be protected, but they could still transmit the virus
According to a Public Health England study, prior SARS-CoV-2 infection provides 83 percent protection against reinfection but may not stop individuals spreading COVID-19.
news
Novel nanobody combinations protect cells from SARS-CoV-2 in vitro
By combining nanobodies targeting different regions of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein, researchers were able to protect cells from infection.
news
Nanoparticle vaccine could protect against multiple coronaviruses
A new protein-based nanoparticle vaccine protected mice against a variety of coronaviruses, researchers have shown.
news
Immune cells discovered in lungs improve flu defence, study shows
A team has found immune cells in the lungs after infection from the flu, which protected mice against reinfection from a different strain.

Webinar: Novel flow cytometry ACE-2 blocking assay
This webinar from Bio-Techne demonstrates how to use a novel in vitro flow cytometry-based assay to monitor SARS-CoV-2 binding to ACE-2.
article
A single approach to creating effective cancer and autoimmune disease therapeutics
Dr H. Michael Shepard, CEO and CSO of Enosi Life Sciences, discusses the similarities between cancer and autoimmune diseases, highlighting how this knowledge could be used to enhance treatments.
news
Exploration of autoimmune disease target tissues reveals novel drug targets
Researchers suggest that identifying new treatments for autoimmune diseases requires studying the immune system AND target tissues together.
news
Analysis finds COVID-19 infection may provide protective immunity
A new analysis suggests SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies remain relatively stable for eight months and Spike protein-specific memory B cells increase in number over time.

RNA sequencing provides insights into why every SARS-CoV-2 infection is different
Associate Professor Pandurangan Vijayanand from La Jolla Institute for Immunology discusses his study into the body’s immune response to SARS-CoV-2 and why this can vary.
news
Biomarkers for predicting COVID-19 disease severity
Scientists have created a prognostic classification model which uses biomarkers to help predict an individual’s risk of developing severe COVID-19 symptoms.
news
Protein identified as potential target for leishmaniasis vaccines
New research has demonstrated in mouse models that the SHP-1 protein limits the capacity of dendritic cells, making it a target for a leishmaniasis vaccine.
