ABO blood group is involved in the quality of the specific immune response

S. Gil-Manso, I. Miguens Blanco, B. Motyka, A. Halpin, R. Lopez-Estaban, V. A. Perez-Fernandez, D. Carbonell-Munoz, L. A. Lopez-Fernandez, L. J. west, R. Correa-Rocha, M. Pion

The study shows that ABO blood group and age affect the persistence of SARS-CoV-2-specific immune responses, with A-group individuals showing higher CD4+ T-cell responses against M-protein but slower viral clearance.

Sialic acid-Dependent Binding and Viral Entry of SARS-CoV-2

L. Nguyen, K. A. McCord, D. T. Bui, K. A. Bouwman, E. N. Kitova, D. Kumawat, G. C. Daskan, I. Tomris, L. Han, P. Chopra, T.-J. Yang, S. D. Williows, T. L. Lowary, L. J. West, S.-T. D. Hsu, , J. S. Klassen

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 RBD binds sialylated glycans, particularly gangliosides, and that reducing cell surface sialic acid decreases viral entry.
