Abstract Monitoring the burden and spread of infection with new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, whether within small communities or in large geographical settings, is paramount importance for public health purposes. Serology, which detects host antibody response to infection, most appropriate tool this task, since virus-derived markers are reliably detected during acute phase infection. Here we show that our ELISA protocol, based on binding Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) S1 subunit viral Spike...
Breastfeeding supplies nutrition, immunity, and hormonal cues to infants. Feeding expressed breast milk may result in de-phased production feeding times, which distort the real-time circadian carried by milk. We hypothesized that providing alters microbiotas of both infant's gut. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed microbiota serial infant fecal samples obtained from 14 mother-infant dyads who were lactating, half Infant showed lower α-diversity than microbiota. Bacterial amplicon sequence...
