Article Abstract

Neutralizing antibody titers are an important measurement of the effectiveness of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. Our laboratory has set out to further verify the functionality of these antibodies by measuring the neutralization capacity of patient samples against infectious SARS-CoV-2. Samples from patients from Western New York who had been vaccinated with the original Moderna and Pfizer vaccines (two doses) were tested for neutralization of both Delta (B.1.617.2) and Omicron (BA.5). Strong correlations between antibody levels and neutralization of the delta variant were attained; however, antibodies from the first two doses of the vaccines did not have good neutralization coverage of the subvariant omicron BA.5. Further studies are ongoing with local patient samples to determine correlation following updated booster administration.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of tocilizumab, a interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor blocker, for the treatment of acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE).

Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science were searched for systematic review based on PRISMA guidelines. ANE patients treated with and without tocilizumab were included.

Over 60 % of kidney transplant candidates are non-sensitised while remaining 40 % are sensitised because of previous exposure to human alloantigens during previous transplants, blood transfusions, and pregnancy in women. Pre-transplant compatibility testing is mandatory prior to renal transplantation for detecting the presence of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs), which are associated with early hyperacute/acute and later chronic rejections. Initially, complement-dependent cytotoxicity crossmatch (CDCXM) was used as a traditional method for detecting preformed DSAs.

A comprehensive analysis was performed on all consecutive biopsy-proven Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA) complicating kidney transplantation in the post C5 inhibitor era (from 2009) to identify pathological profiles, determine causes and establish risk factor associated with death-censored graft survival, in two French center. Pathological criteria were assessed according to the TMA Banff Working Group, followed by an unbiased analysis to identify distinct subgroups. 119 cases were identified, 8(6.

PD-L1 expression in locally advanced cervical cancer: A pilot cross clone comparison study.

Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys

Department of Radiation Oncology, Advanced Centre for Treatment Research and Education in Cancer, Tata Memorial Centre, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai, India. Electronic address:

Purpose: Recent immunotherapy trials in locally advanced cervical cancer report high PD-L1 positivity rates whereas academic multicentric initiatives report a lower PD-L1 positivity. These observations necessitate cross-clone comparison to understand the observed differences.

Methods: Two different clones used in previous multicentric international studies SP142 (BIOEMBRACE) and 22C3 (KEYNOTE-A18) were used to test PD-L1 positivity in a pilot cohort of FIGO 2018 stage III cervical cancer patients recruited in a phase III trial.

Sea perch is one of the most important fish species farmed in China. However, the frequent outbreak of viral diseases induced by sea perch iridovirus (SPIV) always caused high mortality and heavy economic losses in sea perch aquaculture. Up to now, no effective countermeasures against SPIV infection have been established.
