Immunoglobulin G follow-up and immune response longevity analysis in SARS-CoV-2 convalescent patients and vaccinated individuals: A longitudinal analysis.

Background: Although the detection of immunoglobulin G (IgG) molecules has long been considered to be crucial for successful humoral immune defence against infections and harmful metabolites, it has become increasingly important in relation to SARS-CoV-2 research.

Objective: To compare longitudinal changes in IgG titres in post-infection and post-vaccination Iraqi participants, and to estimate the protective benefits of the two principal vaccines used in Iraq.

Methods: This quantitative study used samples from SARS-CoV-2 recovered patients (n= 75), those vaccinated with two doses of Pfizer or Sinopharm vaccine (n= 75), and healthy unvaccinated individuals (n= 50) who formed a control group.

Study of some immunological signatures and their association with COVID-19 in a sample of recovered Iraqi patients.

Since its emergence about two years ago, the novel coronavirus has continued to be a challenge and threat to public health, struck most parts of the world, leaving more than half a billion cases of infection and more than five million deaths. Immune response abnormalities post-infection with SARS-CoV-2 have been reported, and the mechanisms that lead to them are still ambiguous. This study was conducted to evaluate some immunological markers in the serum samples of COVID-19 convalescent patients and investigate the association of these immunological signatures with their age and sex.
