Jean-Laurent Casanova1,2,3,4,5 and Mark S. Anderson6,7, Published February 1, 2023 – More infoView PDF Abstract Since 2003, rare inborn errors of human type I IFN immunity have been discovered, each underlying a few severe viral illnesses. Autoantibodies neutralizing type I IFNs due to rare inborn errors of autoimmune regulator (AIRE)–driven T cell tolerance were discovered in 2006, but not […]
Lorenza Bellusci, Hana Golding, and Surender Khurana Journal of Clinical Investigation Published 2023 – More infoView PDF Convalescent plasma (CP) and hyperimmune intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs) are routinely used to treat patients with COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants continue to evolve, generating multiple sublineages with increased transmissibility and antibody-escape mutations (1, 2). Several Omicron lineages that are currently circulating (BA.4, BA.5, […]
