A recent study has demonstrated substantial differences in SARS-CoV-2 immunity after Omicron infection in triple-COVID-19-vaccinated and antigen-naïve individuals, which may influence cross-protection against future variants. The study was performed as part of a collaboration between the Hannover Medical School, Germany and EUROIMMUN. Omicron variants are B-cell immune escape variants of SARS-CoV-2 that elude the defence […]

Deep neural networks incorporating segmentation provide highly accurate classification of immunofluorescence patterns on the tissue substrates esophagus and salt-split skin for detection of autoimmune bullous dermatoses (AIBD). A recently published study in collaboration with researchers at the Department of Dermatology and Lübeck Institute of Experimental Dermatology of the University of Lübeck, Germany describes the development

EUROIMMUN ELISAs based on recombinant antigens p52 (IgM) and glycoprotein B (IgG) from cytomegalovirus (CMV) provided a higher rate of conclusive results in first-line testing of samples from pregnant women than lysate-based assays. A recombinant testing strategy could thus help to reduce the number of analyses required for routine CMV screening during pregnancy. These are

EUROIMMUN ELISAs for detection of antibodies against Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) reliably identify acute CCHF cases and are suitable for laboratories involved in on-site outbreak support. This was demonstrated in a recently published study in collaboration with scientists at a national reference laboratory in Turkey. Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a life-threatening tick-borne disease
