Use of the particle agglutination/particle agglutination-inhibition test for antigenic analysis of SARS-CoV-2

J. Kobayashi, S. Matsuyama, M. Shirakura, T. Arita, Y. Suzuki, H. Asanuma, S. Watanabe, H. Hasegawa, K. Nakamura

This study develops a PA/PAI test to rapidly assess SARS-CoV-2 antigenicity using hACE2-bound latex beads, showing it can detect antigenic differences between variants.

Impact of reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants in previously infected hamsters

N. Shiwa-Sudo, Y. Sakai, N. Iwata-Yoshikawa, S. Watanabe, S. Yamada, Y. Kuroda, T. Yamamoto, M. Shirakura, S. Fujisaki, K. Miyazaki, H. Miura, S. Nagata, S. Fukushi, K. Maeda, H. Hasegawa, , N. Nagata

This study investigates reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants in previously infected hamsters, finding that immunity prevents pneumonia but allows viral replication in the upper airways with increased mutation diversity.

The peripheral T cell population is associated with pneumonia severity in cynomolgus monkeys experimentally infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2

N. Nagata, N. Iwata-Yoshikawa, K. Sano, A. Ainai, N. Shiwa, M. Shirakura, N. Kishida, T. Arita, Y. Suzuki, T. Harada, Y. Kawai, Y. Ami, S. Iida, H. Katano, S. Fujisaki, , H. Hasegawa

This study shows that cynomolgus monkeys with lower peripheral T cell counts experience more severe pneumonia after SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to those with higher T cell counts.
