Article Abstract

Our study demonstrates that IVIG lots manufactured in 2023-2024 contain neutralizing antibodies against circulating Omicron variants, including KP.3 and XEC. These variants are resistant to all convalescent plasma and IVIG preparations produced prior to 2023. Therefore, recent IVIG lots may provide some protection against COVID-19 caused by circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Background: Between November 2023 and March 2024, coastal Kenya experienced another wave of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections detected through our continued genomic surveillance. Herein, we report the clinical and genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 infections from 179 individuals (a total of 185 positive samples) residing in the Kilifi Health and Demographic Surveillance System (KHDSS) area (~ 900 km).

Methods: We analyzed genetic, clinical, and epidemiological data from SARS-CoV-2 positive cases across pediatric inpatient, health facility outpatient, and homestead community surveillance platforms.

Colloidal gold technology in viral diagnostics: Recent innovations, clinical applications, and future perspectives.

Virology

September 2025

Xinjiang Key Laboratory of Biological Resources and Genetic Engineering, College of Life Science and Technology, Xinjiang University, Urumqi, Xinjiang, China. Electronic address:

Colloidal gold technology has revolutionized viral diagnostics through its rapid, cost-effective, and user-friendly applications, particularly in point-of-care testing (POCT). This review synthesizes recent advancements, focusing on its role in detecting respiratory viruses, hepatitis viruses, and emerging pathogens. The technology leverages the unique optical and physicochemical properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), including localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and high surface-to-volume ratios, to achieve rapid antigen-antibody recognition with visual readouts within 15 min.

Assessment of serum Ninj1 as a potential biomarker for predicting severity in patients with COVID-19.

Clin Chim Acta

September 2025

Department of Clinical Laboratory, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China. Electronic address:

Infection with SARS-CoV-2 elevates the expression of cytokines, resulting in a cytokine storm that serves as the primary factor for severe illness and mortality; however, effective markers for predicting disease severity and preventing are lacking. Thus, we investigated the association between serum levels of nerve injury-induced protein 1 (Ninj1), a mediator of plasma membrane rupture, and the extent of lung damage in COVID-19 patients was examined to anticipate the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This study included 62 healthy participants and 264 patients with COVID-19.

B cell dysregulation during acute COVID-19 is transient.

Immunol Lett

September 2025

Department of Bacteriology and Immunology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland; Translational Immunology Research Program, Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland; HUS Diagnostic Center, Clinical Microbiology, Helsinki University Hospital, Helsinki,

Background: COVID-19 is still a significant health concern worldwide. B cell responses to COVID-19 have been extensively studied in acute severe disease, but less so during extended follow-up or mild disease. Persisting immunological changes together with herpesvirus reactivations during acute COVID-19 have been suggested as contributing factors for post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC).
