Effectiveness and evolution of anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein titers after three doses of COVID-19 vaccination in people with HIV
CONCLUSIONS: PWH receiving different types of the third dose of COVID-19 vaccine showed similar vaccine effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 infection. An additional dose with 100-μg mRNA-1273 could generate a higher antibody response than with 50-μg mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2 vaccine.PMID:38429206 | DOI:10.1016/j.jmii.2024.02.004 (Source: Journal of Microbiology, Immunology, and Infection)

The core exosome proteome of Trichomonas vaginalis
CONCLUSIONS: Our study highlighted the importance of using supernatant fraction from exosomal extract as a control to eliminate 'non-core exosomal proteins'. We compiled a reference core exosome proteome of T. vaginalis, which is essential for developing a fundamental understanding of exosome-mediated cell communication and host-parasite interaction.PMID:38383245 | DOI:10.1016/j.jmii.2024.02.003 (Source: Journal of Microbiology, Immunology, and Infection)
