The role of the mucosal pulmonary antibody response in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-
19) outcome remains unclear. Here, we found that in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples …

Despite multiple research efforts to characterize coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in
humans, there is no clear data on the specific role of mucosal immunity on COVID-19 …

Humoral immune responses are typically characterized by primary IgM antibody responses
followed by secondary antibody responses associated with immune memory and composed …

Mucosal immunity plays a key role in prevention of SARS-CoV-2 virus spread to the lungs. In
this study, we evaluated systemic and mucosal immune signatures in asymptomatic SARS …

Background Most studies of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 focus on circulating antibody, giving
limited insights into mucosal defences that prevent viral replication and onward …

While the antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 has been extensively studied in blood,
relatively little is known about the mucosal immune response and its relationship to systemic …

Understanding the presence and durability of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in the
airways is required to provide insights into the ability of individuals to neutralize the virus …

Background Mucosal antibodies play a key role in the protection against SARS-CoV-2
infection in the upper respiratory tract, and potentially in limiting virus replication and …

Background Whereas severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-
specific antibody tests are increasingly being used to estimate the prevalence of SARS-CoV …

Patients diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) become critically ill primarily
around the time of activation of the adaptive immune response. Here, we provide evidence …
