Antibodies testing, Immunity and immunity passport in Covid-19
The global outbreak of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has affected most countries in the world. Our knowledge of diagnostic tests for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is evolving, and it is important to have a clear understanding of the nature of the tests and the interpretation of their findings. In this paper, the purpose is to interpret the results of two typ...
متن کاملNatural antibodies bridge innate and adaptive immunity.
Natural Abs, belonging to isotypes IgM, IgG3, and IgA, were discovered nearly half a century ago. Despite knowledge about the role of the polyreactive natural IgM in pathogen elimination, B cell survival and homeostasis, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmunity, there is a lack of clarity about the physiological role of natural IgG and natural IgA because they appear incapable of recognizing Ags...
متن کاملHLA-KIR Interactions and Immunity to Viral Infections
Host genetic factors play a central role in determining the clinical phenotype of human diseases. Association between two polymorphic loci in human genome, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs), and genetically complex infectious disease, particularly those of viral etiology, have been historically elusive. Hence, defining the influence of genetic di...
متن کاملSelf-reactive antibodies (natural autoantibodies) in healthy individuals.
Antibodies that are present in the serum of healthy individuals in the absence of deliberate immunization with any antigen, are refered to as natural antibodies. A vast majority of natural antibodies react with one or more self antigens and are termed as natural autoantibodies. The importance of natural autoantibodies in immune regulation has long been neglected, since tolerance to self was tho...
متن کاملUsing glycan microarrays to understand immunity.
Host immunity represents a complex array of factors that evolved to provide protection against potential pathogens. While many factors regulate host immunity, glycan binding proteins (GBPs) appear to play a fundamental role in orchestrating this process. In addition, GBPs also reside at the key interface between host and pathogen. While early studies sought to understand GBP glycan binding spec...
