CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are required to prevent SARS-CoV-2 persistence in the nasal compartment

This study shows that CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are necessary to prevent SARS-CoV-2 persistence in the nasal compartment but not in the lungs.

Metal Coordinating Inhibitors of Rift Valley Fever virus Replication

This study identifies 31 novel RVFV replication inhibitors with selective indexes and effective concentrations, primarily -Hydroxytropolones and N-Hydroxypyridinediones, validated in human cells and tested against related Bunyaviruses.

The receptor binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 spike is the key target of neutralizing antibody in human polyclonal sera.

This study identifies the receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 spike as the primary target of neutralizing antibodies in human polyclonal sera.

Characterization of cells susceptible to SARS-COV-2 and methods for detection of neutralizing antibody by focus forming assay

The paper characterizes SARS-CoV-2 susceptible cells and develops a focus forming assay to detect and quantify neutralizing antibodies in sera samples.

mRNA induced expression of human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 in mice for the study of the adaptive immune response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2

This study uses mRNA to express human ACE2 in mice to study SARS-CoV-2 adaptive immune responses, finding enhanced T cell responses but no antibody enhancement.
