Our SARS-CoV-2 preprint is online https://t.co/9aH77PF9bA. We show new insight into attachment, entry and budding of virions in human airway epithelium. I’m very grateful to those that have contributed to this work @Cellfie3@joncbrown90@wendybarclay11 @AranSinga @drAnand_Shah_
More research to do, but it’s a start! Many thanks to everyone who worked on this study @FinolaMRyan @ImperialMed @ImperialInfect https://t.co/MVNqbBDQ1Y
NEW #BMJresearch evaluated the performance of new lateral flow immunoassays for use in national covid-19 seroprevalence surveys.
One new LFIA was found to be suitable, but none of the LFIAs tested meet the criteria for individual use https://t.co/ijoT6DAVA0
Latest results of REACT-2 study out today (preprint, not peer reviewed). Antibody self-testing in 150,000 adults in England 26 Jan - 8 Feb 2021

NEW Correspondence reports early findings from study suggesting individuals with previous #COVID19 infection generate stronger immune response to first dose of BNT162b2 #vaccine compared with previously uninfected individuals. Responses weaker in over 50s. https://t.co/dZGxmp0cM2
Study on vaccine responses in healthcare workers (mostly renal!). Results will enable us to understand/compare how kidney and immunosuppressed transplant patients will respond. https://t.co/4ws53J6YMA . Results to follow very soon! @Maria_Prend @clclarke227@stephenmcadoo
SARS-CoV-2 variants continue to emerge. Some spread while others die out. So what virological traits might give a variant an advantage over the crowd? Here are our preliminary efforts in the Barclay lab to characterise the B.1.1.7 UK variant
