Case Study: Prolonged Infectious SARS-CoV-2 Shedding from an Asymptomatic Immunocompromised Individual with Cancer.

Chats0
TLDR
The data indicate that certain immunocompromised patients may shed infectious virus for longer durations than previously recognized, and detection of subgenomic RNA is recommended in persistently SARS-CoV-2 positive individuals as a proxy for shedding of infectious virus.

A Short Series of Case Reports of COVID-19 in Immunocompromised Patients

TL;DR: The data suggest that fatal SARS-CoV-2 infections may occur in immunocompromised individuals even with high titers of NAb post-vaccination, and may lead to the emergence of newer variants with additional mutations favoring the survival and fitness of the pathogen that include deletions in NAb binding sites in the Sars-Cov-2 surface glycoprotein.

Heterogeneity of SARS-CoV-2 virus produced in cell culture revealed by shotgun proteomics and supported by genome sequencing.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the heterogeneity of purified SARS-CoV-2 virus obtained after culturing in the Vero E6 cell line and found that cell culture induces significant changes that are translated at the protein level, such changes being detectable by tandem mass spectrometry.
