Converting monoclonal antibody-based immunotherapies from passive to active: bringing immune complexes into play.

abstract：:Human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43) is commonly associated with respiratory tract infections in humans, with five genetically distinct genotypes (A to E) described so far. In this study, we obtained the full-length genomes of HCoV-OC43 strains from two previously unrecognized lineages identified among patients presenti...
