Anti SARS-CoV 2 IgG antibody response in fully vaccinated Covishield (AZD1222) and Covaxin (BBV-152) recipients: a study done in southern part of West Bengal, India
Background and Objectives: Vaccination being the only way to reduce mortality from the dreaded COVID-19 disease, the vaccine was introduced in India as per the advice of the National Expert Group on January 16, 2021.Duration of immune response elicited by the vaccines has always been a matter of content.With new variants emerging every other day, t
Screening for potential targets to reduce stenosis in bioprosthetic heart valves
Abstract Progressive stenosis is one of the main factors that limit the lifetime of bioprosthetic valved conduits.To improve long-term performance we aimed to identify targets that inhibit pannus formation on conduit walls.From 11 explanted, obstructed, RNAlater presevered pulmonary valved conduits, we dissected the thickened conduit wall and the t
Antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 infection in humans: A systematic review.
BackgroundProgress in characterising the humoral immune response to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been rapid but areas of uncertainty persist.Assessment of the full range of evidence generated to date to understand the characteristics of the antibody response, its dynamics over time, its determinants and the immunity it confe
