To fully decipher the immunogenicity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Spike protein, it is essential to assess which part highly immunogenic in a systematic way. We generate linear epitope landscape protein by analyzing serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) response 1,051 disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with peptide microarray. reveal two regions rich epitopes, i.e., C-terminal domain (CTD) and region close S2′ cleavage site fusion peptide. Unexpectedly, we find that...

Abstract Background The missing asymptomatic COVID‐19 infections have been overlooked because of the imperfect sensitivity nucleic acid testing (NAT). Globally understanding humoral immunity in carriers will provide scientific knowledge for developing serological tests, improving early identification, and implementing more rational control strategies against pandemic. Measure Utilizing both NAT commercial kits serum IgM IgG antibodies, we extensively screened 11 766 epidemiologically...

Abstract Serological tests play an essential role in monitoring and combating the COVID-19 pandemic. Recombinant spike protein (S protein), especially S1 protein, is one of major reagents used for serological tests. However, high cost S production possible cross-reactivity with other human coronaviruses pose unavoidable challenges. By taking advantage a peptide microarray full coverage, we analyzed 2,434 sera from 858 patients, 63 asymptomatic patients 610 controls collected multiple...

The immunogenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 proteome is largely unknown, especially for non-structural proteins and accessory proteins. In this study, we collect 2,360 COVID-19 sera 601 control sera. We analyze these on a protein microarray with 20 SARS-CoV-2, building an antibody response landscape immunoglobulin (Ig)G IgM. Non-structural NSP1, NSP7, NSP8, RdRp, ORF3b, ORF9b elicit prevalent IgG responses. patterns dynamics non-structural/accessory are different from those S N responses against...

The Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, currently the sole authorized vaccine against tuberculosis (TB), demonstrates limited effectiveness in safeguarding adolescents and adults from active TB, even when administered as a booster with either BCG itself or heterologous candidates. To effectively control persistent epidemic of adult it is imperative to investigate mechanisms responsible for suboptimal efficacy prime-boosting strategy primary Mycobacterium (M.tb) infection. C57BL/6J mice...

Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is an attenuated live vaccine that provides insufficient protection against tuberculosis (TB), the underlying mechanisms for which remain unknown. Assuming BCG inherits immune evasive strategies from virulent parent M. strains, we aimed to identify associated genes and assess their effects on efficacy.Three genes, BCG_3174, BCG_1782, BCG_2432c, with evasion were first identified via bioinformatics analysis then confirmed in genome of 12...
