A person's immune response to variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, depends on their previous exposure - and differences in the focus of immune responses will help scientists ...

LONDON – The SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern that caused a wave of infection in Manaus, Brazil, in December and January has been found to be both more transmissible and to evade immunity conferred by ...

Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna and the Medical University of Innsbruck discovered that SARS-CoV-2 hijacks three important host proteins that dampen the activity of the complement ...

Researchers have discovered that SARS-CoV-2 hijacks three important host proteins that dampen the activity of the complement system, a key component of early antiviral immunity. This significantly ...

Conceptual illustration representing interactions between the immune system and SARS-CoV-2. The image reflects broader processes involved in antibody responses and viral adaptation during infection.

Although the general population now has at least some immunity against COVID-19, the consequences of severe disease are frequently overlooked for certain patient populations, such as those with ...

Some COVID-19 patients are testing positive after recovering in Asia, but experts say the presence of antibodies should guarantee short-term immunity ...
