Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how one or two doses of inactivated adjuvanted influenza vaccines affect immune responses, specifically focusing on the expression of endosomal Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID).
  • Six CVID patients received one vaccine dose followed by nine patients who received two doses; flow cytometry was used to analyze immune cell populations and TLR expression.
  • Findings show that while key lymphocyte populations remained stable post-vaccination, patients receiving two doses exhibited increased TLR3 and TLR9 expression, indicating that two-dose vaccine regimens may enhance immune responses in CVID patients.

Background: for the first time, the effect of one and two doses of adjuvanted influenza vaccines on toll-like receptors (TLRs) in patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) was studied and compared (primary vaccination with one vs. two doses, primary vs. repeated vaccination).

Background: Influenza prophylaxis with the use of quadrivalent vaccines (QIV) is increasingly being introduced into healthcare practice.

Methods: In total, 32 healthy adults and 6 patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) received adjuvant QIV during 2018-2019 influenza season. Depending on initial antibody titers, healthy volunteers were divided into seronegative (≤1:20) and seropositive (≥1:40).

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a fundamental process regulating immune homeostasis. During acute viral infections PCD of lymphocytes by apoptosis is necessary for removing the excess of activated antigen-reactive T cells and down-regulation of the immune response. On the other hand, apoptosis is the key mechanism of elimination of viral-infected cells.
