The Omicron, or Pango lineage B.1.1.529, variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) carries multiple spike mutations with high transmissibility and …

Individuals with potential exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
do not necessarily develop PCR or antibody positivity, suggesting that some …

Understanding the nature of immunity following mild/asymptomatic infection with SARS-CoV-2
is crucial to controlling the pandemic. We analyzed T cell and neutralizing antibody …

Nucleic acid sample storage is of paramount importance in biotechnology and forensic
sciences. Very recently, hydrated ionic liquids (ILs) have been identified as ideal media for long-…

Background We hypothesised that host-response biomarkers of viral infections might
contribute to early identification of individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2, which is critical to …

Effective control of SARS-CoV-2 infection on primary exposure may reveal correlates of
protective immunity to future variants, but we lack insights into immune responses before or at …

Background Haematopoietic stem cells expressing the CD34 surface marker have been
posited as a niche for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacilli during latent tuberculosis …

Downregulation of host gene expression is one of the many strategies employed by
intracellular pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) to survive inside the …

We isolated an 8 kDa mycobacterial hypothetical protein, Rv3423.1, from the chromatin of
human macrophages infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. Bioinformatics …

Host immune responses at the site of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection can mediate
pathogenesis of tuberculosis (TB) and onward transmission of infection. We hypothesized that …
