P values were adjusted for multiple testing using a false discovery rate using the Benjamini–Hochberg method50. Data were analysed both jointly and within each treatment compared to naive controls. Differential expression of outliers was assessed and found to be insignificant in overall effect. ...
Recently, several fast-growing XBB lineages, such as the variant of interest XBB.1.16, have acquired RBD mutations on K478. However, the K478 mutation did not emerge in our prediction of evolutionary trends for XBB.1.5 RBD. This contradiction may be attributed to the fact that our mutational...
Can the authors also comment on whether these four studies (three with sample size less than 25) provide a reliable estimate of the secondary attack rate from asymptomatic individuals?Stephen Friedman, MD, MPH CONFLICT OF INTEREST: None Reported February 17, 2021 Comment from the authors Zachary ...

An overall discordance rate between two systems was found 11.1%. The difference may be due to the limit of detection, variation in the sequences of the primer design or may be due to other factors depicting the importance of comparing the two platforms used in the testing for SARS-CoV-2....
To assess our criteria for separating positive and negative samples, we used the same threshold calculations with a random subset of negative samples (50%, N = 35) resulted in a false positive rate of 0.03 and a false negative rate of zero (N = 100 trials). A small proportion ...
The available data indicate that at its peak in New York state in late February 2020, the effective reproduction rate, or number of people who became infected by an infectious person, reached 4.17, but as of October 24, 2020, this number is estimated to be 1.02 [6]. Rates of antibody-...
The phase 4 study begins on 8 February 2021 and the estimated end date of the study is December 31 2024; the safety and efficacy of the vaccine against COVID-19 will be evaluated. Enrolled subjects are over 18 years of age and will be followed up 2 years after the administration of ...

As a result, lipid rafts act as plasma membrane "chambers" that facilitate protein interactions on the plasma membrane, promote the rate of molecule collisions, and consequently improve the efficacy of membrane reactions. Fig. 3 Lipid rafts play a role in viral infection by providing appropriate ...
