Despite the vast increase in research activity in the coronavirus field over the past two years, researchers are still heavily reliant on non-human cells, for example Vero E6, highly heterogeneous or not fully differentiated cells, such as Calu-3, or not naturally susceptible cell lines overexpressing receptor ACE2 and other accessory factors, such as TMPRSS2. Complex cell models, such as primary cell-derived air-liquid interface epithelial models are highly representative of human tissues but are expensive and time-consuming to develop and maintain and have limited suitability for high-throughput analysis. In vitro investigations of host-pathogen interactions of viruses is highly reliant on suitable cell and tissue culture models and results are only as good as the model they have been validated in. Here, we show the use of a highly characterized human kidney cell line, Caki-1, for infection with three human coronaviruses: Betacoronaviruses severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and Alphacoronavirus human coronavirus 229E (hCoV-229E). Caki-1 cells show equal or superior susceptibility to all three coronaviruses when compared to other commonly used cells lines for the cultivation of the respective virus. Furthermore, we used a panel of antibodies generated against 21 SARS-CoV-2-encoded proteins to identify their location in the infected Caki-1 cells using immunocytochemistry. Most importantly, Caki-1 cells are also susceptible to two other respiratory viruses, Influenza A virus and RSV, making them an ideal model for cross-comparison of not only a broad range of coronaviruses but respiratory viruses in general.

Coronaviruses, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), encode a proofreading exonuclease, nonstructural protein 14 (nsp14), that helps ensure replication competence at a low evolutionary rate compared with other RNA viruses. In the current pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 has accumulated diverse genomic mutations including in nsp14. Here, to clarify whether amino acid substitutions in nsp14 affect the genomic diversity and evolution of SARS-CoV-2, we searched for amino acid substitutions in nature that may interfere with nsp14 function. We found that viruses carrying a proline-to-leucine change at position 203 (P203L) have a high evolutionary rate and that a recombinant SARS-CoV-2 virus with the P203 mutation acquired more diverse genomic mutations than wild-type virus during its replication in hamsters. Our findings suggest that substitutions, such as P203L, in nsp14 may accelerate the genomic diversity of SARS-CoV-2, contributing to virus evolution during the pandemic.

The use of wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) for early detection of virus circulation and response during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic increased interest in and use of virus concentration protocols that are quick, scalable, and efficient. One such protocol involves sample clarification by size fractionation using either low-speed centrifugation to produce a clarified supernatant or membrane filtration to produce an initial filtrate depleted of solids, eukaryotes and bacterial present in wastewater (WW), followed by concentration of virus particles by ultrafiltration of the above. While this approach has been successful in identifying viruses from WW, it assumes that majority of the viruses of interest should be present in the fraction obtained by ultrafiltration of the initial filtrate, with negligible loss of viral particles and viral diversity. We used WW samples collected in a population of ~700,000 in southwest USA between October 2019 and March 2021, targeting three non-enveloped viruses (enteroviruses [EV], canine picornaviruses [CanPV], and human adenovirus 41 [Ad41]), to evaluate whether size fractionation of WW prior to ultrafiltration leads to appreciable differences in the virus presence and diversity determined. We showed that virus presence or absence in WW samples in both portions (filter trapped solids [FTS] and filtrate) are not consistent with each other. We also found that in cases where virus was detected in both fractions, virus diversity (or types) captured either in FTS or filtrate were not consistent with each other. Hence, preferring one fraction of WW over the other can undermine the capacity of WBE to function as an early warning system and negatively impact the accurate representation of virus presence and diversity in a population.

<li><strong>Immunogenicity of the BA.5 Bivalent mRNA Vaccine Boosters</strong> -
|

<div>
|

|
|
Waning immunity following mRNA vaccination and the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants has led to reduced mRNA vaccine efficacy against both symptomatic infection and severe disease. Bivalent mRNA boosters expressing the Omicron BA.5 and ancestral WA1/2020 Spike proteins have been developed and approved, because BA.5 is currently the dominant SARS-CoV-2 variant and substantially evades neutralizing antibodies (NAbs). Our data show that BA.5 NAb titers were comparable following monovalent and bivalent mRNA boosters.

Fever is a typical symptom of most infectious diseases. While prolonged fever may be clinically undesirable, mild reversible fever (< 39, 312K) can potentiate the immune responses against pathogens. Here, using molecular dynamics, we investigated the effect of febrile temperatures (38 to 40, 311K to 313K) on the immune complexes formed by the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with two neutralizing antibodies. We found that, at mild fever temperatures (311-312K), the binding affinities of the two antibodies improve when compared to the physiological body temperature (37, 310K). Furthermore, only at 312K, antibodies exert distinct mechanical effects on the receptor binding domains of the spike protein that may hinder SARS-CoV-2 infectivity. Enhanced antibody binding affinity may thus be obtained using appropriate temperature conditions.

<li><strong>Adaptive trends of sequence compositional complexity over pandemic time in the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus</strong> -
|

<div>
|

|
|
During the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus underwent mutation and recombination events that altered its genome compositional structure, thus providing an unprecedented opportunity to check an evolutionary process in real time. The mutation rate is known to be lower than expected for neutral evolution, suggesting purifying selection and convergent evolution. We begin by summarizing the compositional heterogeneity of each viral genome by computing its Sequence Compositional Complexity (SCC). To analyze the full range of SCC diversity, we select random samples of high quality coronavirus genomes covering the full span of the pandemic. We then search for evolutionary trends that could inform us on the adaptive process of the virus to its human host by computing the phylogenetic ridge regression of SCC against time (i.e., the collection date of each viral isolate). In early samples, we find no statistical support for any trend in SCC values, although the viral genome appears to evolve faster than Brownian Motion (BM) expectation. However, in samples taken after the emergence of high fitness variants, and despite the brief time span elapsed, a driven decreasing trend for SCC and an increasing one for its absolute evolutionary rate are detected, pointing to a role for purifying selection in the evolution of SCC in the coronavirus. The higher fitness of variant genomes leads to adaptive trends of SCC over pandemic time in the coronavirus.

Efforts to track and model SARS-CoV-2 infection dynamics in the population have been complicated by certain aspects of the transmission characteristics, which include a pre-symptomatic infectious phase as well as asymptomatic infectious individuals. Another problem is that many models focus on case count, as there there has been (and is) limited data regarding infection status of members of the population, which is the most important aspect for constructing transmission models. This paper describes and explain the parameterization, calibration, and revision of the NC-COVID model, a compartmental model to estimate SARS-CoV-2 infection dynamics for the state of North Carolina, US. The model was developed early in the pandemic to provide rapid, up-to-date state-level estimates of the number of people who were currently infected, were immune from a prior infection, and remained susceptible to infection. As a post modeling exercise, we assessed the veracity of the model by comparing its output to SARS-CoV-2 viral particle concentrations detected in wastewater data and to estimates of people infected using COVID-19 deaths. The NC-COVID model was highly correlated with these independently derived estimates, suggesting that it produced accurate estimates of SARS-CoV-2 infection dynamics in North Carolina.

Background. We aimed to develop objective criteria for cognitive dysfunction associated with the post-COVID syndrome. Methods. Four hundred and four patients with post-COVID syndrome from two centers were evaluated with comprehensive neuropsychological batteries. The International Classification for Cognitive Disorders in Epilepsy (IC-CoDE) framework was adapted and implemented. A complementary data-driven approach based on unsupervised machine-learning clustering algorithms was also used to evaluate the optimal classification and cutoff points. Results. According to the developed criteria, 41.2% and 17.3% of the sample were classified as having at least one cognitive domain impaired using -1 and -1.5 standard deviations as cutoff points. Attention/processing speed was the most frequently impaired domain. There were no differences in base rates of cognitive impairment between the two centers. Clustering analysis revealed two clusters according to the severity of cognitive impairment, but there was no difference in cognitive profiles. Cognitive impairment was associated with younger age and lower education levels, but not hospitalization. Conclusions. We propose a harmonization of the criteria to define and classify cognitive impairment in the post-COVID syndrome. These criteria may be extrapolated to other neuropsychological batteries and settings, contributing to the diagnosis of cognitive deficits after COVID-19 and facilitating multicenter studies to guide biomarker investigation and therapies.

Objectives: The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants raised questions over the extent to which vaccines designed in 2020 have remained effective. We aimed to assess whether vaccine status was associated with the severity of Omicron SARS-CoV-2 infection in hospitalised patients. Methods: We conducted an international, multicentric, retrospective study in 14 centres (Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Turkey). We collected data on patients hospitalised ≥24 hours between 01/12/2021 and 03/03/2022, with PCR-confirmed infection at a time of exclusive Omicron circulation, with hospitalisation related or not to the infection. Patients who had received prophylaxis by monoclonal antibodies were excluded. Patients were considered fully vaccinated if they had received at least 2 injections of either mRNA and/or ChAdOx1-S, or 1 injection of Ad26.CoV2-S vaccines. Results: Among the 1215 patients (median [IQR] age 73.0 [57.0; 84.0]; 51.3% males), 746 (61.4%) were fully vaccinated. In multivariate analysis, being vaccinated was associated with lower 28-day mortality (RR=0.50 [0.32-0.77]), ICU admission (R=0.40 [0.26-0.62], and oxygen requirement (RR=0.34 [0.25-0.46]), independently of age and comorbidities. When co-analysing these Omicron patients with 948 Delta patients from a study we recently conducted, Omicron infection was associated with lower 28-day mortality (RR=0.53 [0.37-0.76]), ICU admission (R=0.19 [0.12-0.28], and oxygen requirements (RR=0.50 [0.38-0.67]), independently of age, comorbidities and vaccination status. Conclusions: mRNA- and adenovirus-based vaccines have remained effective on severity of Omicron SARS-CoV-2 infection. Omicron is associated with a lower risk of severe forms, independently of vaccination and patient characteristics.

Background We previously reported inborn errors of TLR3- and TLR7-dependent type I interferon (IFN) immunity in 1-5% of unvaccinated patients with life-threatening COVID-19, and autoantibodies against type I IFN in another 15-20% of cases. Methods We report here a genome-wide rare variant burden association analysis in 3,269 unvaccinated patients with life-threatening COVID-19 (1,301 previously reported and 1,968 new patients), and 1,373 unvaccinated SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals without pneumonia. A quarter of the patients tested had antibodies against type I IFN (234 of 928) and were excluded from the analysis. Results No gene reached genome-wide significance. Under a recessive model, the most significant gene with at-risk variants was TLR7, with an OR of 27.68 (95%CI:1.5-528.7, P=1.1x10-4), in analyses restricted to biochemically loss-of-function (bLOF) variants. We replicated the enrichment in rare predicted LOF (pLOF) variants at 13 influenza susceptibility loci involved in TLR3-dependent type I IFN immunity (OR=3.70 [95%CI:1.3-8.2], P=2.1x10-4). Adding the recently reported TYK2 COVID-19 locus strengthened this enrichment, particularly under a recessive model (OR=19.65 [95%CI:2.1-2635.4]; P=3.4x10-3). When these 14 loci and TLR7 were considered, all individuals hemizygous (n=20) or homozygous (n=5) for pLOF or bLOF variants were patients (OR=39.19 [95%CI:5.2-5037.0], P=4.7x10-7), who also showed an enrichment in heterozygous variants (OR=2.36 [95%CI:1.0-5.9], P=0.02). Finally, the patients 13 with pLOF or bLOF variants at these 15 loci were significantly younger (mean age [SD]=43.3 [20.3] years) than the other patients (56.0 [17.3] years; P=1.68x10-5). Conclusions Rare variants of TLR3- and TLR7-dependent type I IFN immunity genes can underlie lifethreatening COVID-19, particularly with recessive inheritance, in patients under 60 years old.

Given the magnitude of Venezuelan displacement in Latin America, there is a need to assess how migrants were, and will continue to be, addressed in COVID-19 vaccination policies. To explore migration status as a dimension of vaccine equity in Latin America and in relation to international human rights, we assessed national vaccination plans, peer-reviewed, and gray literature published between January 2020 and June 2021. Three key rights-related concerns were found to restrict the health rights of migrants in the region: 1) lack of prioritization of migrants in vaccine distribution; 2) onerous documentation requirements to be eligible for COVID-19 vaccination; and (3) how pervasive anti-migrant discrimination limited equitable health care access. While international human rights law prohibits against discrimination based on migration status, few countries analyzed realized their obligations to provide equal access to COVID-19 vaccines to non-citizens, including displaced Venezuelans. Especially for migrants and displaced people, effective and sustainable vaccination strategies for COVID-19 and future pandemics in Latin America must be guided not only by epidemiological risk but also seek to align with human rights obligations. To achieve this, States must also take special measures to facilitate vaccine access for communities facing systemic discrimination, exclusion, and marginalization.

<b>Background:</b> Medical-grade oxygen is an essential component of modern healthcare, with a wide variety of applications ranging from supplemental use in surgery and trauma patients to the primary medication in oxygen therapy. This is the most effective treatment for any respiratory illness. Despite the importance of medicinal oxygen for public health and its demand as a life-saving drug, research on the subject is limited, with the majority of studies conducted following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the lack of empirical studies, we aimed to compile the recent research efforts with the current state of the field to guide the new researchers around the topic. <b>Methods:</b> We have performed a systematic review targeting the medical oxygen ecosystem, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P). For the study, we have limited our scope to healthcare facilities and domiciliary applications of medical oxygen and considered the articles published in the last thirty years. <b>Results:</b> Our systematic search resulted in forty-three scientific articles, with three more miscellaneous articles appended for painting a complete picture. Based on the selected articles, the complete oxygen ecosystem was categorized into five main fields. <b>Conclusion:</b> We have presented an in-depth analysis of the research works found through the systematic search, and a brief discussion on the current scenario of the subject referencing these studies. We hope to benefit researchers approaching this area through this study, and guide them around the topic.

We present a deterministic, calibrated Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered-Dead + Vaccinated (SEIRD+V) model that simulates the spread and containment of COVID-19. We use the model to compare the effectiveness of vaccination vs. social distancing on death prevention and total and peak infection reduction. We find that vaccination drastically reduces total deaths from COVID-19, as well as total and peak infections with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We find that social distancing plays a role in reducing total COVID-19 deaths, but its impact is less pronounced when vaccine efficacy and vaccination fraction are both high. Social distancing also plays a role in reducing total and peak infections, which is attenuated in the presence of vaccination. We employed a thresholding methodology to assess the requirements of vaccine efficacy and the vaccination fraction to limit total COVID-19 deaths and peak infections to a 5% threshold. Our thresholding results quantify the impact of social distancing on total COVID-19 deaths and peak infections and are significant in their ability to inform public health policy for future outbreaks, as well as for SARS-CoV-2 itself as it continues to mutate and alter its transmissibility.

Retrospective epidemiological models are powerful tools to understand its transmission dynamics and to assess the efficacy of different control measures. This study summarises key epidemiological parameters of COVID-19 for retrospective mathematical and clinical modeling. A review of scientific papers and preprints published in English between 1 January and 15 April 2020 in PubMed, MedRxiv and BioRxiv was performed to obtain epidemiological parameters of the initial stage of COVID-19 pandemic in Asia. After excluding articles with unacceptable risks of bias and those that remained as preprints as of 15 November 2021, meta-analyses were performed to derive summary effect estimates from the data collected using the statistical software R. Out of 4,893 articles identified, 88 provided data for 22 parameters for the overall population and 7 specifically for children. Meta-analyses were conducted considering time period as a categorical moderator when it was statistically significant. The results obtained are essential for building more reliable models to help clinicians and policymakers improve their knowledge on COVID-19 and apply it in future decisions.

<li><strong>Integrating T-cell receptor and transcriptome for large-scale single-cell immune profiling analysis</strong> -

Recent advancements in single-cell immune profiling that enable the measurement of the transcriptome and T-cell receptor (TCR) sequences simultaneously have emerged as a promising approach to study immune responses at cellular resolution. Yet, combining these different types of information from multiple datasets into a joint representation is complicated by the unique characteristics of each modality and the technical effects between datasets. Here, we present mvTCR, a multimodal generative model to learn a unified representation across modalities and datasets for joint analysis of single-cell immune profiling data. We show that mvTCR allows the construction of large-scale and multimodal T-cell atlases by distilling modality-specific properties into a shared view, enabling unique and improved data analysis. Specifically, we demonstrated mvTCR’s potential by revealing and separating SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell clusters from bystanders that would have been missed in individual unimodal data analysis. Finally, mvTCR can enable automated analysis of new datasets when combined with transfer-learning approaches. Overall, mvTCR provides a principled solution for standard analysis tasks such as multimodal integration, clustering, specificity analysis, and batch correction for single-cell immune profiling data.
