Evolution of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG Antibody and IgG Avidity Post Pfizer and Moderna mRNA Vaccinations

Messenger RNA (mRNA) based vaccines (Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna) are highly effective at providing immunity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, there is uncertainty about the duration of immunity, evolution of IgG antibody levels and IgG avidity (an index of antibody-antigen binding strength), and differences in the immune responses between vaccines.

A New Saliva-Based Lateral-Flow SARS-CoV-2 IgG Antibody Test for mRNA Vaccination

Sensitive detection of IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 is important to assessing immune responses to viral infection or vaccination and immunity duration. Antibody assays using non-invasive body fluids such as saliva could facilitate mass testing including young children, elderly and those who resist blood draws, and easily allowing longitudinal testing/monitoring of antibodies over time.

Comparison of Anti-Dengue and Anti-Zika IgG on a Plasmonic Gold Platform with Neutralization Testing

Antibody cross-reactivity confounds testing for dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV). We evaluated anti-DENV and anti-ZIKV IgG detection using a multiplex serological platform (the pGOLD assay) in patients from the Asunción metropolitan area in Paraguay, which experiences annual DENV outbreaks but has reported few autochthonous ZIKV infections.
