news
Blood test could identify those most at risk from COVID-19
Collaborative research has revealed two hallmarks of COVID-19 infection associated with more severe symptoms that can be identified by a blood test.
news
White blood cells as a novel early indicator of vaccine efficacy
Researchers demonstrate that a subpopulation of circulating white blood cells can act as an early indicator of vaccine efficacy, with potential implications for COVID-19 drug development.
news
Protective immunity to SARS-CoV-2 shown in non-human primates
Macaques were protected against SARS-CoV-2 infection both after an initial infection and vaccination with a prototype vaccine, researchers suggest humans could respond similarly.
news
Analysis of immune response to SARS-CoV-2 gives hope for COVID-19 vaccines
A detailed analysis of the body's immune response to COVID-19 has revealed that it can recognise SARS-CoV-2 in many ways, meaning vaccines can be used to stop the spread of the virus.
news
Study finds coronaviruses do not readily induce cross-protective antibody responses
Researchers have found that antibodies produced in response to SARS and COVID-19 are cross-reactive, but not cross protective in cells and mice.
news
Lipid mediators suggested as potential COVID-19 inflammation treatment
A new article has outlined the body's inflammatory response to COVID-19 infection, saying that lipid mediators derived from omega-3 fatty acids could prevent life-threatening inflammation.
news
Adding RPL6 protein to vaccine prevents malaria in mice, find researchers
Researchers have shown that adding the RPL6 protein to malaria vaccines was successful at protecting mice against the condition.
news
Oxford University and NIH COVID-19 vaccine shows success in rhesus macaques
A vaccine currently in Phase I clinical trials was effective at inducing immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 in mice and rhesus macaques.
news
Combination of two neutralising antibodies suggested as COVID-19 treatment
Two antibodies named B38 and H4 could work as a COVID-19 therapeutic by neutralising the virus, say researchers in China.
article
Utilising an interleukin-12 plasmid: a novel COVID-19 vaccine
Dr Bernard Fox from Providence Cancer Institute explains how OncoSec’s CORVax12 vaccine works to potentially combat COVID-19.
news
New class of antigen-presenting immune cell identified by researchers
A new kind of dendritic cell has been discovered by researchers and could play a role presenting antigens to other immune cells during respiratory virus infections.
news
Researchers develop promising MERS vaccine, with potential for COVID-19
A MERS vaccine, which uses RNA-based adjuvants, has demonstrated efficacy in non-human primates and is now being developed as a prophylactic for COVID-19.
news
Researchers identify monoclonal antibody to neutralise COVID-19
An antibody that neutralises both SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 in cell cultures has been discovered by researchers and could be used to treat COVID-19.
article
Intravenous immunoglobulins, hyperimmunes and pandemic viruses
David Johnson of GigaGen discusses how recombinant forms of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) could overtake current IVIG therapies and be used in the treatment of COVID-19.
