Identification and structure of a multidonor class of head-directed influenza-neutralizing antibodies reveal the mechanism for its recurrent elicitation

Sao-Fong Cheung, Crystal ; Fruehwirth, Alexander ; Paparoditis, Philipp Carl Georg ; Shen, Chen-Hsiang ; Foglierini, Mathilde ; Joyce, M. Gordon ; Leung, Kwanyee ; Piccoli, Luca ; Rawi, Reda ; Silacci-Fregni, Chiara ; Tsybovsky, Yaroslav ; Verardi, Raffaello ; Wang, Lingshu ; Wang, Shuishu ; Yang, Eun Sung ; Zhang, Baoshan ; Zhang, Yi ; Chuang, Gwo-Yu ; Corti, Davide ; Mascola, John R. ; Shapiro, Lawrence ; Kwong, Peter D. ; Lanzavecchia, Antonio ; Zhou, Tongqing

Multidonor antibodies are of interest for vaccine design because they can in principle be elicited in the general population by a common set of immunogens. For influenza, multidonor antibodies have been observed against the hemagglutinin (HA) stem, but not the immunodominant HA head. Here, we identify and characterize a multidonor antibody class (LPAF-a class) targeting the HA head. This class...

The effect of maternal immunisation during pregnancy on infant vaccine responses

Immunisation during pregnancy to protect infants against tetanus, pertussis and influenza is recommended in many countries. However, maternal antibodies can interfere with infant vaccine responses. We investigated the effect of antenatal diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (dTpa) and trivalent inactivated influenza (TIV) immunisation on specific and heterologous antibody responses to...

Adjuvants and the vaccine response to the DS-Cav1-stabilized fusion glycoprotein of respiratory syncytial virus

Sastry, Mallika ; Zhang, Baoshan ; Chen, Man ; Joyce, M. Gordon ; Kong, Wing-Pui ; Chuang, Gwo-Yu ; Ko, Kiyoon ; Kumar, Azad ; Silacci, Chiara ; Thom, Michelle ; Salazar, Andres M. ; Corti, Davide ; Lanzavecchia, Antonio ; Taylor, Geraldine ; Mascola, John R. ; Graham, Barney S. ; Kwong, Peter D.

Appropriate adjuvant selection may be essential to optimize the potency and to tailor the immune response of subunit vaccines. To induce protective responses against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)—a highly prevalent childhood pathogen without a licensed vaccine—we previously engineered a pre-fusion-stabilized trimeric RSV F (pre-F) “DS-Cav1” immunogen, which induced high titer...

Influenza vaccination induces NK-cell-mediated type-II IFN response that regulates humoral immunity in an IL-6-dependent manner

Farsakoglu, Yagmur ; Palomino-Segura, Miguel ; Latino, Irene ; Zanaga, Silvia ; Chatziandreou, Nikolaos ; Pizzagalli, Diego Ulisse ; Rinaldi, Andrea ; Bolis, Marco ; Sallusto, Federica ; Stein, Jens V. ; Gonzalez, Santiago F.

The role of natural killer (NK) cells in the immune response against vaccines is not fully understood. Here, we examine the function of infiltrated NK cells in the initiation of the inflammatory response triggered by inactivated influenza virus vaccine in the draining lymph node (LN). We observed that, following vaccination, NK cells are recruited to the interfollicular and medullary areas of...

Can Routine Offering of Influenza Vaccination in Office-Based Settings Reduce Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Adult Influenza Vaccination?

Antarctica eye study: a prospective study of the effects of overwintering on ocular parameters and visual function

Stahl, Matthew H. ; Kumar, Alexander ; Lambert, Robert ; Stroud, Michael ; Macleod, David ; Bastawrous, Andrew ; Peto, Tunde ; Burton, Matthew J.

In: BMC Ophthalmology, 2018, vol. 18, no. 1, p. 149

In 2013 five polar explorers attempted to complete the first Trans-Antarctic Winter Traverse (TAWT). This study presents the ophthalmological findings for this group, who overwintered in Antarctica as part of the White Mars Human Science Protocol. Antarctic crews are exposed to extreme cold, chronic hypoxia and altered day-night cycles. Previous studies of Antarctic explorers have focused on...
