SARS‐CoV‐2 infection triggers more potent antibody‐dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) responses than mRNA‐, vector‐, and inactivated virus‐based COVID‐19 vaccines by Hadeel T. Zedan (12535521)

“…We analyzed ADCC activity targeting SARS‐CoV‐2 spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) proteins in convalescent sera following WT SARS‐CoV‐2‐infection (<i>n</i> = 91), including symptomatic and asymptomatic infections, omicron‐infection (<i>n</i> = 8), COVID‐19 vaccination with messenger RNA‐ (mRNA)‐ (BNT162b2 or mRNA‐1273, <i>n</i> = 77), adenovirus vector‐ (<i>n</i> = 41), and inactivated virus‐ (<i>n</i> = 46) based vaccines, as well as post‐mRNA vaccination BTI caused by omicron (<i>n</i> = 28). …”

A 28 nm CMOS 10 bit 100 MS/s Asynchronous SAR ADC with Low-Power Switching Procedure and Timing-Protection Scheme by Fang Tang (116243)

“…A single-side-fixed technique is utilized to reduce the number of capacitors; a parallel split capacitor array in combination with a partially thermometer coded technique can minimize the switching energy, improve speed, and decrease differential non-linearity (DNL). In addition, a compact timing-protection scheme is proposed to ensure the stability of the asynchronous SAR ADC. …”

Follow up and comparative assessment of IgG, IgA, and neutralizing antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 between mRNA-vaccinated naïve and unvaccinated naturally infected individuals ov... by Salma, Younes

“…We measured the levels of neutralizing total antibodies (NtAbs), anti-S-RBD IgG, and anti-S1 IgA titers among VN and NI up to ∼10 months from administration of the first dose, and up to ∼7 months from SARS-CoV-2 infection, respectively. To explore the relationship between the antibody responses and time, Spearman's correlation coefficient was computed. …”
