Background: Repeated antigen exposure can result in a shifting antibody repertoire. The mechanisms by which this occurs and consequences for cross-variant protection against evolving pathogens remain incompletely understood, particularly in the context of immunosuppressive treatments used in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID).
Methods: To investigate this, we characterised longitudinal changes in the anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody repertoire over the course of three SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccinations in patients with IMIDs treated with methotrexate (MTX) and/or tumour necrosis factor-inhibitors (TNFi), anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, no systemic therapy, and healthy controls (total N = 878).
Article Synopsis
- The study explores how patients on immunosuppressants (ISPs) respond to SARS-CoV-2 infections compared to healthy controls, particularly looking at antibody levels post-infection.
- Patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) on different ISP therapies showed variable antibody responses, with those on anti-CD20 and sphingosine-1 phosphate therapies having lower antibody levels.
- Despite lower antibody titers, the breakthrough infections in these patients were mostly mild, indicating that ISPs may not severely impede the overall immune response to SARS-CoV-2.
IgG antibodies are important mediators of vaccine-induced immunity through complement- and Fc receptor-dependent effector functions. Both are influenced by the composition of the conserved -linked glycan located in the IgG Fc domain. Here, we compared the anti-Spike (S) IgG1 Fc glycosylation profiles in response to mRNA, adenoviral, and protein-based COVID-19 vaccines by mass spectrometry (MS).

We aimed to investigate long-term humoral immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 and increased disease activity after a primary SARS-CoV-2 infection in unvaccinated IMID patients on ISPs.
Methods: IMID patients on active treatment with ISPs and controls (i.
For patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), concerns exist about increased disease activity after vaccination. We aimed to assess changes in disease activity after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in patients with IMIDs, and determine risk factors for increased disease activity. In this substudy of a prospective observational cohort study (Target-to-B!), we included patients with IMIDs who received a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

Methods: Data were used from an ongoing national prospective multicentre cohort study on SARS-CoV-2 vaccination responses in patients with IMID in the Netherlands (Target-to-B! (T2B!) study). Patients wih IMID on immunosuppressants and controls (patients with IMID not on immunosuppressants and healthy controls) who completed primary immunisation were included.
Background: Concerns have been raised regarding the risks of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections in vaccinated patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases treated with immunosuppressants, but clinical data on breakthrough infections are still scarce. The primary objective of this study was to compare the incidence and severity of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections between patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases using immunosuppressants, and controls (patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases not taking immunosuppressants and healthy controls) who had received full COVID-19 vaccinations. The secondary objective was to explore determinants of breakthrough infections of the delta (B.

Methods: Adult patients with rheumatic IMIDs from the Amsterdam Rheumatology and Immunology Center, Amsterdam were invited to participate. All patients were asked to recruit their own sex-matched and age-matched control subject.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how specific immunosuppressive therapies affect the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory disorders, focusing on the humoral immune response.
- - Conducted in the Netherlands with over 3,200 participants, the research compares the immune responses of patients on immunosuppressants to controls, including healthy individuals and those without systemic immunosuppressants.
- - Findings indicate that certain immunosuppressive treatments, like anti-CD20 therapy and S1P modulators, result in lower chances of achieving adequate immunity post-vaccination, regardless of the type of immune disorder present.
Background: Data are scarce on immunogenicity of COVID-19 vaccines in patients with autoimmune diseases, who are often treated with immunosuppressive drugs. We aimed to investigate the effect of different immunosuppressive drugs on antibody development after COVID-19 vaccination in patients with autoimmune diseases.
Methods: In this study, we used serum samples collected from patients with autoimmune diseases and healthy controls who were included in two ongoing prospective cohort studies in the Netherlands.
Sponge-associated fungi are attractive targets for the isolation of bioactive natural products with different pharmaceutical purposes. In this investigation, 20 fungi were isolated from 10 different sponge specimens. One isolate, the fungus strain WK-P9, showed activity against JH642 when cultivated in malt extract medium.
