  • Aberrant innate immune profile associated with COVID-19 mortality in Pretoria, South Africa 
    Van der Mescht, Mieke Adri; De Beer, Zelda; Steel, Helen C.; Anderson, Ronald; Masenge, Andries; Moore, Penny L.; Bastard, Paul; Casanova, Jean-Laurent; Abdullah, Fareed; Ueckermann, Veronica; Rossouw, Theresa M. (Elsevier, 2024-09)
    The African continent reported the least number of COVID-19 cases and deaths of all the continents, although the exact reasons for this are still unclear. In addition, little is known about the immunological profiles ...
  • Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sub-lineages is reduced in convalescent sera regardless of infecting variant 
    Richardson, Simone I.; Kgagudi, Prudence; Manamela, Nelia P.; Kaldine, Haajira; Venter, Elizabeth M.; Pillay, Thanusha; Lambson, Bronwen E.; Van der Mescht, Mieke Adri; Hermanus, Tandile; Balla, Sashkia R.; De Beer, Zelda; De Villiers, Talita R.; Bodenstein, Annie; Van den Berg, Gretha; Du Pisanie, Marizane; Burgers, Wendy A.; Ntusi, Ntobeko A.B.; Abdullah, Fareed; Ueckermann, Veronica; Rossouw, Theresa; Boswell, Michael T.; Moore, Penny L. (Cell Press, 2023-01)
    The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 variants caused major waves of infections. Here, we assess the sensitivity of BA.4 to binding, neutralization, and antibodydependent cellular ...
  • Comparison of platelet-and endothelial-associated biomarkers of disease activity in people hospitalized with Covid-19 with and without HIV co-infection 
    Van der Mescht, Mieke Adri; Steel, Helen C.; De Beer, Zelda; Abdullah, Fareed; Ueckermann, Veronica; Anderson, Ronald; Rossouw, Theresa (Frontiers Media, 2023-08-14)
    INTRODUCTION : SARS-CoV-2 elicits a hyper-inflammatory response that contributes to increased morbidity and mortality in patients with COVID-19. In the case of HIV infection, despite effective anti-retroviral therapy, ...
  • Despite delayed kinetics, people living with HIV achieve equivalent antibody function after SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination 
    Motsoeneng, Boitumelo M.; Manamela, Nelia; Kaldine, Haajira; Kgagudi, Prudence; Hermanus, Tandile; Ayres, Frances; Makhado, Zanele; Moyo-Gwete, Thandeka; Van der Mescht, Mieke Adri; Abdullah, Fareed; Boswell, Michael; Ueckermann, Veronica; Rossouw, Theresa; Madhi, Shabir A.; Moore, Penny L.; Richardson, Simone I. (Frontiers Media, 2023-08-03)
    The kinetics of Fc-mediated functions following SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination in people living with HIV (PLWH) are not known. We compared SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific Fc functions, binding, and neutralization in ...
