Observed Kinetics of Enterovirus Inactivation by Disinfectants Differ among the Host Cells Used for Enumeration

Tamar Kohn, Shannon Christa David, Shotaro Torii, Odile Marie Clotilde Hervás de Nalda-Larivé, Federica Cariti

The virus inactivation efficacy of disinfectants is typically assessed by infectivity assay utilizing a single type of host cell. Enteroviruses infect multiple host cells via different entry routes, and each entry route may be impaired differently by a giv ...

Microfluidic characterisation reveals broad range of SARS-CoV-2 antibody affinity in human plasma

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Marc Emmenegger

The clinical outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infections, which can range from asymptomatic to lethal, is crucially shaped by the concentration of antiviral antibodies and by their affinity to their targets. However, the affinity of polyclonal antibody responses in p ...
