"Few children with COVID-19 have had to be hospitalized," the group says. "However, severe illness has been reported in children, most often in infants less than a year." Doctors believe there's growing evidence that arare, mysterious illnessappearing in childrenmay be linked to the virus....
the RiboMABs were tested in xenografts mice models with large ovarian tumors. A 3 weekly treatment with RiboMAB completely eliminated the cancer, comparable with the effectiveness of the corresponding recombinant bispecific antibody, albeit the latter had to be administered three times as often to ach...
The FDA has not yet approved an RSV vaccine for pregnant people. The FDA approved RSV vaccines by Pfizer and GSK for adults 60 and older and is considering the Pfizer vaccine for pregnant people, which would activate antibodies that would be passed on to the infants to protect them in their...
RSV is nearly ubiquitous, and most children are born with some protective immunity conveyed bymaternal antibodies. As the maternal antibodies wane over time, infants become susceptible, and are often infected for the first time between nine months and two years of age. ...
