Abstract Evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in immunocompromised hosts may result novel variants with changed properties. While escape from humoral immunity certainly contributes to intra-host evolution, cellular is poorly understood. Here, we report a case long-term COVID-19 an patient non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma who received treatment rituximab and lacked neutralizing antibodies. Over the 318 days disease, genome gained total 40 changes, 34 which were present by end study period. Among acquired mutations,...
This study is a successor of our previous work concerning changes in the chemokine profile infection that are associated with different SARS-CoV-2 genetic variants. The goal was to take into account both virus and host immune system by assessing concentrations cytokines patients infected variants (ancestral Wuhan strain, Alpha, Delta Omicron). Our performed on 340 biological samples taken from COVID-19 healthy donors timespan between May 2020 April 2022. We genotyping nasopharyngeal swabs,...
The adaptive antiviral immune response requires interaction between CD8+ T cells, dendritic and Th1 cells for controlling SARS-CoV-2 infection, but the data regarding role of in acute phase COVID-19 post-COVID-19 syndrome are still limited.. Peripheral blood samples collected from patients with (n = 71), convalescent subjects bearing serum N-protein-specific IgG antibodies 51), healthy volunteers no detectable to any proteins (HC, n 46) were analyzed using 10-color flow cytometry.Patients...
IgG is the most prominent marker of post-COVID-19 immunity. Not only does this subtype mark late stages infection, but it also stays in body for a timespan at least 6 months. However, different subclasses have properties, and their roles specific anti-COVID-19 responses yet to be determined. We assessed concentrations IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4 against SARS-CoV-2 antigens (N protein, S protein RBD) using specifically designed method samples from 348 COVID-19 patients. noted statistically...
Infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 mostly affects the upper and lower respiratory tracts causes symptoms ranging from common cold to pneumonia with acute distress syndrome. Chemokines are deeply involved in chemoattraction, proliferation, activation of immune cells within inflammation. It is crucial consider that mutations virion can potentially affect clinical course infection because disease severity manifestation vary depending on genetic variant. Our objective was measure assess different...
COVID-19, an infection caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, is associated with a number of pathophysiological mechanisms, mobilizing wide spectrum biomolecules, mainly, cytokines. The purpose this study was to evaluate levels multiple cytokines in blood plasma from patients COVID-19 during acute phase disease, and upon complete recovery. Samples peripheral 56 69 convalescents 10 healthy individuals were examined. Concentrations 46 molecules, such as IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5,...

Abstract Evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in immunocompromised hosts may result novel variants with changed properties, but the mode selection underlying this process remains unclear. While escape from humoral immunity certainly plays a role intra-host evolution, cellular is poorly understood. Here, we report case long-term COVID-19 an patient non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma who received treatment rituximab and lacked neutralizing antibodies. Over 318 days disease, genome gained total 40 changes, 34 which...
Summary Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), as any other medical procedure, requires standardization of results, approaches, monitoring its dynamics and engraftment evaluation. The aim the present study was to compare efficiency results PCR 16S RNA-based sequencing in order trace composition after FMT. Patients methods prospective, single-center included 27 patients with acute intestinal chronic (overlap syndrome) graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) developed allogeneic hematopoietic stem...
Abstract Background Several anti-cytokine therapies were tested in the randomized trials hospitalized patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection (COVID-19). Previously, dexamethasone demonstrated a reduction of case-fatality rate failure. In this matched control study we compared to Janus kinase inhibitor, ruxolitinib. Methods The cohort included 146 COVID-19 and oxygen support requirement. group was selected 1:1 from 1355 dexamethasone-treated by main clinical...
Abstract Background Studies of mRNA and vector-based vaccines used in different countries report acceptable levels effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 infection caused by the Delta variants SARS-CoV-2. No studies estimated vaccine (VE) Gam-COVID-Vac other Russia symptomatic with variant. In this population-based case-control study, we aimed to estimate Russian COVID-19 during recent outbreak VOC October 2021 St. Petersburg, Russia. Methods Cases were patients confirmed (using polymerase chain...
