Immune response to SARS-CoV-2 may be limited by a set of genes
Neutralizing antibodies develop within two weeks of a SARS-CoV-2 infection, but their durability and intensity can vary by individual, prompting concerns about the prospects of long-lasting immunity and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.
In a PLOS ONE paper, published online February 11, 2021, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine report that individual immune response to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, may be limited by the major histocompatibility complex or MHC, a set of variable genes that code for cell surface proteins essential for the adaptive immune system.

Specifically, senior authors Maurizio Zanetti, MD, professor of medicine, Hannah Carter, PhD, associate professor of medicine and colleagues examined how the MHC interacts with two kinds of lymphocytes or immune cells called T and B.
V Taller creates fragmented layout for Casa Duraznos in Jalisco
Mexican firm V Taller drew upon hacienda architecture while designing a stucco-clad house filled with lush gardens and unexpected encounters at every turn.
Casa Duraznos is located in Zapopan, a city near Guadalajara in the state of Jalisco. The home – which has two storeys and a basement – was built on an irregularly shaped site.
The house sits on an irregular site
While designing the residence, local firm V Taller was influenced by the clients interest in haciendas found in the Yucatán, a coastal region with tropical forests.
Haciendas often feature stucco walls, courtyards and archways, along with various types of spaces.
