TL;DR: In this paper, the authors select plasma from a cohort of convalescent patients with COVID-19 and selectively deplete immunoglobulin A, M or G before testing the remaining neutralizing capacity of the depleted plasma.

Major role of IgM in the neutralizing activity of convalescent plasma against SARS-CoV-2
Romain Gasser,Marc Cloutier,Jérémie Prévost,Corby Fink,Corby Fink,Éric Ducas,Shilei Ding,Nathalie Dussault,Patricia Landry,Tony Tremblay,Audrey Laforce-Lavoie,Antoine Lewin,Antoine Lewin,Guillaume Beaudoin-Bussières,Annemarie Laumaea,Halima Medjahed,Catherine Larochelle,Jonathan Richard,Gregory A.

TL;DR: It is found that depletion of immunoglobulin M was associated with the most substantial loss of virus neutralization, followed by immunoglOBulin G, which may help design efficient antibody-based COVID-19 therapies and may also explain the increased susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 of autoimmune patients receiving therapies that impair the production of IgM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a flow standard to enable highly reproducible measurements of deformability of stored red blood cells in a microfluidic device
Jonathan Robidoux,Audrey Laforce-Lavoie,Steve J. Charette,Sergey S. Shevkoplyas,Tatsuro Yoshida,Antoine Lewin,Danny Brouard +6 more
TL;DR: A new method to standardize and improve reproducibility of the RBC deformability measurements using one of a number of microfluidic devices with capillary‐like microchannels is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of cord blood unit sterility testing: impact of dilution, analysis delay, and inhibitory substances
Mélissa Girard,Audrey Laforce-Lavoie,Marie Joëlle de Grandmont,Marie-Pierre Cayer,Diane Fournier,Gilles Delage,Louis Thibault +6 more
TL;DR: This work has compared the method used to prepare samples for sterility testing by diluting the final product in RPMI‐1640 medium with different approaches to verify whether optimization should be sought.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison and Efficacy of Breast Pump Cleaning Techniques for Bioburden Reduction.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the efficacy of cleaning and disinfecting breast pumps using either a microwave or boiling water and found that using boiling water was more effective than using cold water.
