  • A study in Bangladesh evaluated the IgG response to SARS-CoV-2 among vaccinated individuals, finding an overall IgG positivity of about 82% among 3,034 participants, which increased over time.
  • The results showed a clear trend where younger individuals had higher IgG positivity and index scores compared to older age groups, emphasizing the effect of age on immune response.
  • Additionally, those vaccinated who previously had COVID-19 exhibited the highest IgG levels, highlighting the importance of continuous monitoring of immunity status over time.

Cellulase is a biocatalyst that hydrolyzes cellulosic biomass and is considered a major group of industrial enzymes for its applications. Extensive work has been done on microbial cellulase but fungi are considered a novel strain for their maximum cellulase production. Production cost and novel microbial strains are major challenges for its improvement where cheap agro wastes can be essential sources of cellulose as substrates.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) immunoglobulin G (IgG) detection can be an effective complementary tool to the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test in estimating the true burden of coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) and can serve as baseline data, especially after the roll-out of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we aim to determine the seropositivity of SARS-CoV-2 IgG among people in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Volunteers, mostly asymptomatic people from Dhaka, were enrolled between October 2020 and February 2021.
