HIV skews the SARS-CoV-2 B cell response toward an extrafollicular maturation pathway

R. Krause, COMMIT-KZN Team, J. Snyman, S.-H. Hwa, D. Muema, F. Karim, Y. Ganga, A. Ngoepe, Y. Zungu, I. Gazy, M. Bernstein, K. Khan, M. Mazibuko, N. Mthabela, D. Ramjit, , A. Leslie

This study shows that HIV infection shifts the SARS-CoV-2 B cell response toward an extrafollicular pathway, leading to lower affinity antibodies and reduced vaccine efficacy in people living with HIV.

SARS-CoV-2 cell-to-cell spread occurs rapidly and is insensitive to antibody neutralization

L. Jackson, H. Rodel, S.-H. Hwa, S. Cele, Y. Ganga, H. Tegally, M. Bernstein, J. Giandhari, COMMIT-KZN Team, B. I. Gosnell, K. Khan, W. Hanekom, F. Karim, T. de Oliveira, M.-Y. S. Moosa, A. Sigal

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 spreads rapidly between cells via fusion and is resistant to antibody neutralization, unlike cell-free virus.
