Pleased to share our report of a hook effect (ie, falsely low readout in setting of high analyte concentration) with use of a common #sarscov2 binding antibody test. This is akin to the prozone effect seen in assays such as the RPR for syphilis. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ct…

Our study of seasonal coronavirus antibodies and SARS-CoV-2 vaccine response in transplant recipients is now available online @CIDJournal! doi.org/10.1093/cid/ci…. 🧵

👏Congrats to my co-fellow @jonathanmitch_ published in @TransplantJrnl describing antibody response to #CovidVaccine D4 in SOTRs. Read it here! journals.lww.com/transplantjour… @JakeDowonKim @aurateles @jgaronzikwang @Dorry_Segev @HIV_TID

Our incredible covid study team sending out 300 Tap II kits to participants today!! ⁦@JakeDowonKim⁩ ⁦@MayanTeles⁩ ⁦@JenLAlejo⁩ ⁦@jonathanmitch_⁩ ⁦@jgaronzikwang⁩ ⁦@HIV_TID⁩ ⁦@ERGOT_JH⁩

We will be live in 10 minutes with our Transplant 🏥Vaccine💉Observational study participants, providing a research update and expert panel. Over 1K will be joining us today! Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Very exciting new publication showing that SOTRs with suboptimal responses to 4 SARS-CoV-2 doses may benefit from a 5th dose!
