An additional panel has been included containing epitopes of high genetic homology to endemic human coronaviruses (HCoV).

Key Points: 
  • An additional panel has been included containing epitopes of high genetic homology to endemic human coronaviruses (HCoV).
  • This panel will facilitate research into the role HCoV play in the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
  • A recent report on health care workers in the US demonstrated cross-reactive T cell responses between HCoV and SARS-CoV-2 infections1.
  • T-SPOT, T-Cell Xtend, the Oxford Immunotec logo, and T-SPOT Discovery are trademarks of Oxford Immunotec Limited.

BioVaxys SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Candidate BVX-0320 Stimulates Neutralizing Antibodies To Live COVID-19 Virus

Tuesday, February 2, 2021

It's worth noting that OSU is one of the few institutions that has the laboratory capability to study live SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Key Points: 
  • It's worth noting that OSU is one of the few institutions that has the laboratory capability to study live SARS-CoV-2 virus.
  • Plaques are produced by infection of cultured human cells by a live SARS-CoV-2 virus.
  • For greater certainty, BioVaxys is not making any express or implied claims that it has the ability to treat the SAR-CoV-2 virus at this time.
  • BioVaxys has two issued US patents and two patent applications related to its cancer vaccine, and pending patent applications for its SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) vaccine and diagnostic technologies.

QIAGEN Confirms Effectiveness of Its SARS-CoV-2 PCR Tests in the Face of Mutations of the Coronavirus

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, January 20, 2021

QIAGEN has successfully assessed its SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests against genetic mutations of the virus uploaded to the GISAID and GenBank public databases since May 2020.

Key Points: 
  • QIAGEN has successfully assessed its SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests against genetic mutations of the virus uploaded to the GISAID and GenBank public databases since May 2020.
  • A latest round of assessments conducted in January 2021 again confirmed that no recorded mutations affected the sensitivity of QIAGEN assays for detection of SARS-CoV-2.
  • As a virus encoded by RNA nucleotides, SARS-CoV-2 frequently mutates due to erroneous or ineffective replication of the virus genome.
  • These mutations can sometimes produce viruses with altered properties or even entirely new strains.

Studies Reveal Potential Weaknesses in SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Thursday, December 10, 2020

Published in the journal Cell online Dec. 9, the studies revealed that TMEM41B was essential for SARS-CoV-2 to replicate.

Key Points: 
  • Published in the journal Cell online Dec. 9, the studies revealed that TMEM41B was essential for SARS-CoV-2 to replicate.
  • They also compared how it reproduces in infected cells to three other seasonal coronaviruses known to cause the common cold.
  • "Together, our studies represent the first evidence of transmembrane protein 41 B as a critical factor for infection by flaviviruses and, remarkably, for coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, as well," says the studies' co-senior investigator John T. Poirier, PhD.
  • "Comparing a newly discovered virus to other known viruses can reveal shared liabilities, which we hope serve as a catalogue of potential vulnerabilities for future outbreaks."

CEL-SCI’s LEAPS Peptides Demonstrate Clear Survival Benefit as a Treatment for COVID-19 in Preclinical Studies

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, December 1, 2020

The animals were therapeutically treated with CEL-SCIs LEAPS COV-19 peptides one day after infection with a lethal dose of SARS-CoV-2.

Key Points: 
  • The animals were therapeutically treated with CEL-SCIs LEAPS COV-19 peptides one day after infection with a lethal dose of SARS-CoV-2.
  • We are highly encouraged by these results, which clearly show our LEAPS COV-19 peptides produced a survival benefit in a very credible animal model, which mimics the virus effects in humans.
  • A critical benefit of LEAPSs mechanism of action is its focus on highly conserved portions within the nucleoprotein of the virus.
  • Our next step is to leverage the findings from these two animal studies into future studies that will optimize treatment dosing and test additional LEAPS peptides as a therapy.

Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University researcher: COVID-19 coronavirus may have been pre-adapted to infect humans

Bats' physiology is relatively unlike that of humans, so scientists have considered a direct jump, or "zoonotic leap" unlikely generally an animal virus needs to adapt to a human's body before infecting humans.

Key Points: 
  • Bats' physiology is relatively unlike that of humans, so scientists have considered a direct jump, or "zoonotic leap" unlikely generally an animal virus needs to adapt to a human's body before infecting humans.
  • Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) likely used civet cats in its path between bats and humans; Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) likely came from bats through camels to us.
  • However, a recent study implies the ancestors of the virus that causes COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, may be predisposed to infect humans.
  • "'Nearly direct' means there is minimum evolution required for a SARS-CoV-2-like bat virus to jump to humans, which also implies the virus may be pre-adapted in bats to infect humans," he said.
