Use of immunology in news and YouTube videos in the context of COVID-19: politicisation and information bubbles.
Front Public Health
March 2024
Brighton and Sussex Medical School, Brighton, United Kingdom.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic propelled immunology into global news and social media, resulting in the potential for misinterpreting and misusing complex scientific concepts.
Objective: To study the extent to which immunology is discussed in news articles and YouTube videos in English and Italian, and if related scientific concepts are used to support specific political or ideological narratives in the context of COVID-19.
Methods: In English and Italian we searched the period 11/09/2019 to 11/09/2022 on YouTube, using the software Mozdeh, for videos mentioning COVID-19 and one of nine immunological concepts: antibody-dependent enhancement, anergy, cytokine storm, herd immunity, hygiene hypothesis, immunity debt, original antigenic sin, oxidative stress and viral interference.

Article Synopsis
- German cockroach proteins Vg and Vn are linked to allergies like rhinitis and asthma, and this study successfully purified these proteins for further research on their allergenic properties.
- The purification process involved immunizing rabbits, creating specific IgG antibodies, and using advanced techniques to analyze the proteins for contamination and purity.
- Results showed that most allergic individuals (80%) had IgE antibodies specific to Vg/Vn, indicating these proteins play a significant role in GCr-related allergies.

Introduction: Heat shock protein (Hsp) 90 is one of the most abundant proteins in unstressed cells and regulates stability and functional maintenance of client proteins. In ocular tissue, Hsp90 is widely expressed in the cornea and retina and has multiple roles in these tissues. The expression of HSPs was induced in the retinas of glaucomatous patients and laser-induced glaucoma in monkey while their mechanisms remain to be elucidated.
