The basic concept of vaccination has been based on engendering an adaptive immune response armed with effective immune cells, memory cells, and cytokines. These elements cooperate to mount either a humoral or a cell-mediated response. Coronavirus disease-2019 vaccines, although diversified, adapted the same objective with the previous vaccines prepared since Edward Jenner's work. The spike surface protein (S) and the receptor binding domain constituted the main antigenic determinants for which the binding antibodies as well as the neutralizing antibodies were secreted. The unprecedented use of mRNA vaccines represented an unmatched breakthrough, which paved the road for a new era of vaccine generation. They showed a substantial ability to elicit antibody secretion with a moderate helper T cell response just after inoculation of the first dose. Besides, the adenoviruses-shuttled vaccines were able to engender a spectrum of polyclonal antibodies including neutralizing antibodies apt to drive a multitude of antibodies-mediated functions and activate T cell immune responses. In either case, the antibody titers as well as lymphocytes-mediated responses were significantly intensified. Deciphering the mechanisms of immune response activation by the inoculated vaccines in addition to the elaboration of innate elements involvement should open the door for a better decryption of the induced immune protection and pave the road for the formulation of a more effective vaccine that surmounts the incessant mutational variation of the viral antigenic attributes.

Objective: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 continues across the world. Some patients with COVID-19 develop cytokine storm secondary to virally driven hyper-inflammation. This study aimed to assess the relationship of interleukin-6 (IL-6), procalsitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels with the severity of the disease in patients with COVID-19. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 63 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 from January 2020 to March 2021. Data on demographic characteristics and clinical characteristics with the levels of IL-6, CRP, and PCT on admission were collected. ROC analysis was performed to determine whether interleukin-6 had a diagnostic value in predicting mortality. IL-6, CRP and procalcitonin values were evaluated by the Spearman correlation analysis. Results: In the ROC analysis performed in terms of predicting mortality, it was observed that IL-6 level predicted mortality at a statistically significant level (area under the curve: 0.708, p=0.004, 95% confidence interval: 0.583-0.833). A value of >358.3 pg/mL for IL-6 showed prognostic significance on mortality. In the Spearman correlation analysis performed between IL-6, CRP and procalcitonin values, a positive correlation was observed between CRP and procalcitonin (r=0.474, p=0.001). Conclusion: The serum levels of IL-6 and CRP can effectively assess disease severity in patients with COVID-19. (English) [ FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The effect of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) infection on autoimmunity in both disease and post-disease stages has not been fully explained. There is not enough information about the evaluation of autoimmune antibodies in convalescent SARS-CoV-2 patients. This study aimed to investigate the presence and types of autoantibodies in post-illness coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients and to compare them with indirect immunofluorescence assay (IIF)-antinuclear antibody (ANA) results before SARS-CoV-2 infection. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four COVID-19 patients with known and reported ANA test results prior to SARS-CoV-2 infection were included in this study. Patients' IIF-ANA, extractable nuclear antigen blot and anti-dsDNA tests were studied three and nine months after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Results: Three months after SARS-CoV-2 infection, 41.66% of patients had a positive IIF-ANA test. When we compared these results with pre-infection ANA results, 3 patients (12.5%) were variable. The first case was chromosomal granular positive before infection and was found to be homogeneous, and cytoplasm was speckled positive after infection. Additionally, Scl-70, DFS70, and anti-dsDNA were found to be positive. We think that lupus symptoms were triggered after COVID-19. The second case had negative ANA before infection, while the ANA was antinuclear membrane positive (2+) three months after infection. Also, anti-RNP/Sm was detected as positive. The third case had negative ANA before infection, and was detected to have speckled weakly positive ANA three months after infection. However, autoantibody positivity was not detected. Conclusion: As a result, these data support the idea that SARS-CoV-2 infection may trigger autoimmunity and be associated with the development of autoantibodies. (English) [ FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is a potentially fatal respiratory disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, which has occurred in a human pandemic. This study aims to assess the responses of IgM and IgG antibodies to the virus after 7-14 days following the onset of illness. Materials and Methods: A total of 95 cases, including 67 patients with COVID-19 (24 male and 43 female) and 28 healthy individuals without COVID-19 as the control group (7 male and 21 female), were selected in the present study. IgM and IgG antibodies for COVID-19 were evaluated using rapid chromatographic immunoassay (RCI). Results: RCI demonstrated that IgM antibody was found as positive in 67 patients (100%) after 7-14 days, whereas IgG antibody was found as positive in 56 patients (83.6%) after 7 days and 67 patients (100%) were positive after 14 days.
