Antibody titers of individuals vaccinated for COVID-19: A systematic review.

An important preventive measure to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic is vaccine implementation. In creating vaccines, evoking neutralizing antibody (NAb) production is the main objective. This review determines and compares the NAb titers produced by COVID-19 vaccine recipients based on the vaccine type and the manner of administration.

Metal organic framework encapsulated tamavidin-Gluc reporter: application in COVID-19 spike antigen bioluminescent immunoassay.

Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is one of the most utilized serological methods to diagnose and identify etiologic agents of many infectious diseases and other physiologically important analytes. ELISA can be used either alone or adjunct to other diagnostic methods such as molecular arrays, and other serological techniques. Most ELISA assays utilize reagents that are proteinaceous in nature, which are not very stable and require cold-chain transport systems.

An Intact Cell Bioluminescence-Based Assay for the Simple and Rapid Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Infection.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections, accounting for a substantial portion of outpatient hospital and clinic visits. Standard diagnosis of UTI by culture and sensitivity can take at least 48 h, and improper diagnosis can lead to an increase in antibiotic resistance following therapy. To address these shortcomings, rapid bioluminescence assays were developed and evaluated for the detection of UTI using intact, viable cells of USTCMS 1132 or previously lyophilized cells of ATCC 33981™.
