The paper shows that IgA plasma cells co-secrete monomeric and dimeric IgA, challenging the idea that distinct subsets produce only one form.

The paper compares glycosylation patterns of IgA1 and IgA2, finding subclass-specific differences despite similar glycosylation enzyme expression.

This study investigates the virological traits of the SARS-CoV-2 BA.2.87.1 lineage, finding it efficiently enters human cells but is more sensitive to antibody neutralization than JN.1.

This study identifies an ACE2-independent pathway for sarbecovirus entry in human cells, mediated by TMPRSS2-related proteases and linked to reduced antibody neutralization.

This study shows that the B.1.617.2 variant of SARS-CoV-2 evades antibodies from infection and vaccination, increases lung cell entry, and enhances cell fusion.

The paper shows that SARS-CoV-2 mutations from mink reduce antibody neutralization, suggesting potential risks for human infections.
