UNRAVELLING ANTIGENIC CROSS-REACTIONS TOWARD THE WORLD OF CORONAVIRUSES: EXTENT OF THE STABILITY OF SHARED EPITOPES AND SARS-COV-2 ANTI-SPIKE CROSS-NEUTRALIZING ANTIBODIES

Unravelling Antigenic Cross-Reactions toward the World of Coronaviruses: Extent of the Stability of Shared Epitopes and SARS-CoV-2 Anti-Spike Cross-Neutralizing Antibodies

The human immune repertoire retains the molecular memory of a very great diversity of target antigens (epitopes) and can recall this upon a second encounter with epitopes against which it has previously been primed.Although genetically diverse, proteins of coronaviruses exhibit sufficient conservation to lead to antigenic cross-reactions.In this re

Rhinovirus and Innate Immune Function of Airway Epithelium

Airway epithelial cells, which lines the respiratory mucosa is in direct contact with the environment.Airway epithelial cells are the primary target for rhinovirus and other inhaled pathogens.In response to rhinovirus infection, airway epithelial cells mount both pro-inflammatory responses and antiviral innate immune responses to Cord clear the vir
