Sci Rep 2021 11 (1) 12330 SARS-CoV-2 emerged in late 2019 and has since spread around the world, causing a pandemic of the respiratory disease COVID-19. Detecting antibodies against the virus is an essential tool for tracking infections and developing vaccines. Such tests, primarily utilizing the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) principle, can be either qualitative (reporting positive/negative results) or quantitative (reporting a value representing the quantity of specific antibodies). Quantitation is vital for determining stability or decline of antibody titers in convalescence, efficacy of different vaccination regimens, and detection of asymptomatic infections. Quantitation typically requires two-step ELISA testing, in which samples are first screened in a qualitative assay and positive samples are subsequently analyzed as a dilution series. To overcome the throughput limitations of this approach, we developed a simpler and faster system that is highly automatable and achieves quantitation in a single-dilution screening format with sensitivity and specificity comparable to those of ELISA. |
COVID-19 Vaccine Breakthrough Infections Reported to CDC - United States, January 1-April 30, 2021.
CDC COVID-19 Vaccine Breakthrough Case Investigations Team , Birhane Meseret , Bressler Sara , Chang Gregory , Clark Thomas , Dorough Layne , Fischer Marc , Watkins Louise Francois , Goldstein Jason M , Kugeler Kiersten , Langley Gayle , Lecy Kristin , Martin Stacey , Medalla Felicita , Mitruka Kiren , Nolen Leisha , Sadigh Katrin , Spratling Robin , Thompson Gail , Trujillo Alma . MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2021 70 (21) 792-793 COVID-19 vaccines are a critical tool for controlling the ongoing global pandemic. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued Emergency Use Authorizations for three COVID-19 vaccines for use in the United States.* In large, randomized-controlled trials, each vaccine was found to be safe and efficacious in preventing symptomatic, laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 (1-3). Despite the high level of vaccine efficacy, a small percentage of fully vaccinated persons (i.e. received all recommended doses of an FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine) will develop symptomatic or asymptomatic infections with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 (2-8). |
Rapid development of neutralizing and diagnostic SARS-COV-2 mouse monoclonal antibodies.
Chapman AP , Tang X , Lee JR , Chida A , Mercer K , Wharton RE , Kainulainen M , Harcourt JL , Martines RB , Schroeder M , Zhao L , Bryksin A , Zhou B , Bergeron E , Bollweg BC , Tamin A , Thornburg N , Wentworth DE , Petway D , Bagarozzi DA Jr , Finn MG , Goldstein JM . Sci Rep 2021 11 (1) 9682 The need for high-affinity, SARS-CoV-2-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is critical in the face of the global COVID-19 pandemic, as such reagents can have important diagnostic, research, and therapeutic applications. Of greatest interest is the ~ 300 amino acid receptor binding domain (RBD) within the S1 subunit of the spike protein because of its key interaction with the human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) receptor present on many cell types, especially lung epithelial cells. We report here the development and functional characterization of 29 nM-affinity mouse SARS-CoV-2 mAbs created by an accelerated immunization and hybridoma screening process. Differing functions, including binding of diverse protein epitopes, viral neutralization, impact on RBD-hACE2 binding, and immunohistochemical staining of infected lung tissue, were correlated with variable gene usage and sequence. |
