Dengue-virus-induced humoral immunity can increase the risk of severe disease, but the factors influencing this response are poorly understood. Here, we investigate the contribution of CD4 T cells to B cell responses in human dengue infection. We identify a dominant peripheral PD-1 T cell subset that accumulates in severe patients and could induce B cell differentiation via interleukin-21 (IL-21)-related pathway.

Background: To generate COVID-19 vaccine safety data in Nigeria, passive reporting was supplemented with cohort event monitoring (CEM), an active surveillance system. We described reactogenicity within 7 days and adverse events up to 3 months after each AstraZeneca or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine dose while assessing the feasibility of implementing CEM in a low- to middle-income country (LMIC) during a mass vaccination campaign.

Methods: Participants were aged ≥18 years with access to mobile phones who received the first dose of an authorized COVID-19 vaccine from participating health facilities in 6 states of Nigeria during September and October 2021.

Immune memory is crucial for preventing hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection. Our study aims to investigate immunological memory characteristics and differences between vaccination and natural HEV infection, taking into account that both can induce immune memory. We recruited 60 HEV-infected patients, 58 contingency HEV-vaccinated individuals and 4 controls from an outbreak of hepatitis E in a nursing home between June and August 2023.

Mucosal immunity is crucial for preventing the infection and transmission of respiratory viruses. Nasal antibody is inversely correlated with a lower risk of infection with respiratory viruses. However, the current reference standard for nasal antibody assessment is serum-based, mainly consisting of monomeric IgG and IgA.

Unlabelled: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) isolates share a restricted cellular tropism. Marc-145 cells derived from African green monkey are one of the few cell lines supporting PRRSV propagation and are commonly used for PRRS vaccine development. However, currently prevalent PRRSV isolates display different Marc-145 cell tropism while the exact determinant is not clarified yet.
