Abstract
-
Since the advent of SARS-CoV-2 in Dec. 2019, the global endeavor
to identify the pathogenic mechanism of COVID-19
has been ongoing. Although humoral immunity including
neutralizing activity play an important role in protection from
the viral pathogen, dysregulated antibody responses may be
associated with the pathogenic progression of COVID-19,
especially in high-risk individuals. In addition, SARS-CoV-2
spike-specific antibodies acquired by prior infection or vaccination
act as immune pressure, driving continuous population
turnover by selecting for antibody-escaping mutations.
Here, we review accumulating knowledge on the potential
role of humoral immune responses in COVID-19, primarily
focusing on their beneficial and pathogenic properties. Understanding
the multifaceted regulatory mechanisms of humoral
responses during SARS-CoV-2 infection can help us to develop
more effective therapeutics, as well as protective measures
against the ongoing pandemic.

Abstract
-
A Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain, RRLJ 04, and a Bacillus cereus strain, BS 03, were tested both individually and in combination with a Rhizobium strain, RH 2, for their ability to enhance plant growth and nodulation in pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.) under gnotobiotic, greenhouse and field conditions. Both of the rhizobacterial strains exhibited a positive effect on growth in terms of shoot height, root length, fresh and dry weight, nodulation and yield over the non-treated control. Co-inoculation of seeds with these strains and Rhizobium RH 2 also reduced the number of wilted plants, when grown in soil infested with Fusarium udum. Gnotobiotic studies confirmed that the suppression of wilt disease was due to the presence of the respective PGPR strains. Seed bacterization with drug-marked mutants of RRLJ 04 and BS 03 confirmed their ability to colonize and multiply along the roots. The results suggest that co-inoculation of these strains with Rhizobium strain RH 2 can be further exploited for enhanced growth, nodulation and yield in addition to control of fusarial wilt in pigeon pea.
