Puzzled about re-infection, re-activation, or recurrence of PCR-positivity after revovery from #COVID19? Look how PCR toggles between positive and negative toward the end of courses. Yellow=throat swab; red=sputum; grey=stool. Dotted line=detection limit. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Well done! Looking forward to reading the paper!

Data on the N501Y mutation in pseudotyped virus bearing SARS-CoV-2 Spike, with and without delta69/70. The 501 appears to reduce infectivity of particles that is rescued by 69/70 addition. Caveats: this is a simplified virus system with over expression of receptors for the virus.

We are looking for an enthusiastic student to join our group @NIBSC_MHRA to better understand the use of pseudotyped viruses for emerging viruses. Have look at our review on the subject doi.org/10.3390/v13020…

Well done everyone!

Long time collaborator, first time co-authors! Great effort pulling all this together Dalan and grateful to have had the chance to be involved. 100% agree with your comments about the amazing work by Nazia Thakur and Fig 1

How durable are 3rd/booster shot-induced neutralizing antibodies vs Omicron in elderly people? 81% of individuals, median age 82, maintained detectable activity at 4.5 months👍 2 shots: nearly absent medrxiv.org/content/10.110… by kanika vanshylla and colleagues Universität zu Köln

Quick explainer on some of the key findings in our recent paper. nature.com/articles/s4158…. We find Omicron spike binds ACE2 better than Delta. Both variants replicate similarly in nasal cell cultures, but in airway cells high in TMPRSS2 there was significant impairment for Omicron

Great opportunity to join our collaboration between UCLBiochemEng and @NIBSC_MHRA atsv7.wcn.co.uk/search_engine/…

Farewell lunch for the Emerging viruses group as we know it. We are all still in the same office but different groups. Emma Bentley Mark Hassall @EVGPAGE Thank you for being such a great team!
