Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Fucosylation of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies defined as percentage of fucose-containing glycans attached to N297 in the IgG-Fc. Focus will be on the main subclass generated (IgG1 and IgG3). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We compare the anti-CoV antibody response and interaction with immune receptors between cases and controls by: - Anti-CoV antibody levels, (sub)class and antigen specificity (ELISA) - Anti-CoV antibody glycosylation - Interaction of serum-derived patient anti-CoV antibodies with a biosensor equipped with all human Fc-gamma receptors - Inflammatory markers of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (see UCAN CAN-DU protocol) -To study gene expression profiles to distinguish between inflammatory and infectious causes of fever. | — |
