How is immunity to SARS-CoV-2 induced and subsequently controlled?
A new study has uncovered an important role for #complement in the induction of innate and adaptive immunity to SARS-CoV-2. 1/

Complement rapidly opsonized SARS-CoV-2 via lectin pathway. Complement-opsonized SARS2 efficiently interacted w/ dendritic cells (DCs), inducing Type I IFN & pro-inflammatory cytokine responses, which were inhibited by antibodies against complement receptors (CR)3 and CR4. 2/ 
These findings suggest that complement is important in inducing immunity via DCs in the acute phase against SARS-CoV-2. 3/
[#BreakingNews] L'#eolien et le #solaire en 2021/22, ce sont 14,4 Mds€ de revenus en plus pour l'Etat ! Une nouvelle ressource bienvenue pour financer la limitation des prix de l’électricité à 4% et protéger le #pouvoirdachat des 🇫🇷.

Une taxe existe pour soutenir les #EnR en fonction des prix du marché ➡️ #CSPE. Avec la crise de l'#énergie les prix ne cessent de grimper. Les taxes sont en même temps revues à la baisse par @CRE_energie. Pourquoi à la baisse ? Parce que les #EnR auj. rapportent à l'Etat (2/7)
En France il existe un mécanisme #GagnantGagnant pour l'#éolien et l'Etat : le complément de rémunération. Il permet un soutien public vers les #EnR en 🇫🇷 et fixe un prix cible lors des appels d'offres. Voici comment cela fonctionne ⬇️ (3/7)

2/ In this #tweetorial, we'll answer 3Qs that help us assess a #kidneytransplant recipient's immunological risk:
1. Does this recipient have #DSA* (against HLA-antigens) ?
2. Can the antibodies bind?
3. Can the antibodies activate complement?
*DSA: donor specific antibodies

National DNA Day:
🧬April 25
🧬Commemorates the day in 1953 when Watson, Crick, Wilkins, Franklin and colleagues published papers in the journal @nature on the structure of DNA
🧬Also commemorates the completion of the Human Genome Project in April 2003, took 13 years

DNA Double Helix:
🧬The two #DNA strands are reverse-complements
🧬Reading one strand in #reverse order and exchanging each base with its #complement gives the other strand
🧬A and T are complements, C and G are complements
DNA Sequence: AGTAGCAT
Reverse-Complement: ATGCTACT
