2) This field study followed 30 households with COVID-19 index cases and contacts. 9 contacts became infected. kinetics of viral RNA, antigen, infectious virus in nasal/saliva samples and antibodies were measured. Image
3) RNA detected earlier in saliva than nasal samples in 6/9 infected contacts. Antigen correlated better with infectious virus. Antibodies rose by week 3. Higher RNA levels in samples yielding infectious virus. Image
4) This provides data on biomarker dynamics and performance of different diagnostic tests over the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Thanks for reading 🙏 Image

2) IgG antibodies play a crucial role in the immune response to the infection. These antibodies are produced by B cells in response to exposure to the virus.
The main role of IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 is to neutralize the virus. They bind to specific proteins ...
3) ...on the virus surface, such as the spike protein, preventing the virus from entering and infecting human cells. This neutralization can help in reducing the severity of the infection and preventing the virus from spreading further within the body. Image

2) This study examines patterns of within-host evolution of SARS-CoV-2 by analyzing viral genomic sequence data from 9 cases of prolonged/chronic infection.
A novel statistical method is developed to infer the number and evolutionary rates of distinct viral subpopulations. Image
3) Analysis of the data finds evidence of non-trivial population structure in 4 out of the 9 cases.
Rates of evolution inferred for some subpopulations were significantly faster or slower than estimates for the global SARS-CoV-2 population Image

2) This study, that we posted in 2023, was finally published in 2024.
Researchers studied 43 individuals who had cleared SARS-CoV-2 infection (recovered, R group) and individuals experiencing persistent symptoms at least 8 months after infection (long COVID, LC group). Image
3) Multi-omics analyses including CyTOF, flow cytometry, RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq and serology were performed on blood samples from these individuals. 
The LC group showed systemic inflammation and immune dysregulation. T cell subset distribution was perturbed ... Image

2) Researchers generated double-transgenic mice expressing both human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) and human transmembrane protease serine 2 (hTMPRSS2) to increase their susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Image
3) In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that co-expression of hACE2 and hTMPRSS2 enhanced SARS-CoV-2 infectivity and entry.
The double-transgenic mice exhibited significant weight loss, clinical symptoms, lung injury, inflammation and lethality when infected with SARS-CoV-2. Image
