AI Article Synopsis

  • The PHiD-CV/PCV10 and PCV13 vaccines protect against invasive pneumococcal disease (VT IPD) but some vaccinated children still experience breakthrough infections, referred to as vaccine failures.
  • A systematic review analyzed studies published from 2008 to 2019, focusing on children aged 5 and under, revealing low rates of vaccine failure (8.4%) and breakthrough (9.3%) cases in vaccinated children.
  • Key serotypes linked to these vaccine failures and breakthroughs for PCV13 include 19A, 3, and 19F, while PCV10 is associated with serotypes 14, 6B, and vaccine-related 19A and

Article Abstract

Introduction: The pneumococcal non-typeable protein D-conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV/PCV10) and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) protect against vaccine-serotype invasive pneumococcal disease (VT IPD). However, VT IPD can still occur in fully or partially vaccinated children (vaccine failure or breakthrough). We performed a systematic review of vaccine failures and breakthrough IPD with PCV10 and PCV13 in ≤5-year-olds.

Areas Covered: We searched Scopus/Medline/EMBASE to retrieve articles/abstracts published between 1/2008-7/2019. We excluded reports only including data from ≥6-year-olds, exclusively assessing PCV7-vaccinated children or children with comorbidities. Twenty-six reports (20 PCV13, 1 PCV10, 5 both), covering studies with various designs in six continents, using different schedules, were included. Collectively, they reported 469 VT IPD cases classified as vaccine failures and 403 as breakthrough. Vaccine failure and breakthrough rates were low: 8.4% and 9.3%, respectively, of all IPD in vaccinated children, consistent with the vaccines' high effectiveness. The main serotypes associated with vaccine failure/breakthrough were 19A, 3 and 19F for PCV13 and 14, 6B and vaccine-related 19A and 6A for PCV10.

Expert Opinion: As we move to vaccines with more serotypes, it is not only important to consider which serotypes are added, but also monitor and address incomplete protection against specific serotypes.

The "a" determinant, a highly conformational region within the hepatitis B virus large surface protein (LHBs), is crucial for antibody neutralization and diagnostic assays. Mutations in this area can lead to conformational changes, resulting in vaccination failure, diagnostic evasion, and disease progression. The "a" determinant of LHBs contains a conserved N-linked glycosylation site at N320, but the mechanisms of glycosylation in LHBs remain unclear.

Barriers to influenza vaccination during pregnancy in France: A national population-based study.

Vaccine

January 2025

Maternité Port-Royal, Groupe hospitalier Paris Centre, AP-HP, FHU Prema, 75014 Paris, France; Université Paris Cité, Paris, France; INSERM UMR 1153, Obstetrical, Perinatal and Pediatric Epidemiology Research Team (Epopé), Center for Epidemiology and Statistics, Université de Paris-Cité, Paris, France.

Background: Despite French national recommendations since 2012 that all pregnant women be vaccinated against influenza, in 2021 this vaccine coverage is low - around 30 % - in France.

Objectives: To identify barriers to influenza vaccination during pregnancy by assessing how often women were offered this vaccination and how often they accepted it.

Study Design: We used data from the French national perinatal survey (ENP), which covered all births during one week in March 2021 (N = 12,614).

PD-L1 expression in high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is not a biomarker of response to BCG.

World J Urol

January 2025

Department of Urology, Erasmus University Medical Center, Erasmus MC Cancer Institute, Dr. Molewaterplein 40, Room Be-304, 3015 GD, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Purpose: Up to 50% of high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC) patients fail Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment, resulting in a high risk of progression and poor clinical outcomes. Biomarkers that predict outcomes after BCG are lacking. The antitumor effects of BCG are driven by a cytotoxic T cell response, which may be controlled by immune checkpoint proteins like Programmed Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1).

Ebola and Marburg viruses, biosafety level 4 pathogens, cause severe hemorrhaging and organ failure with high mortality. Although some FDA-approved vaccines or therapeutics like Ervebo for Zaire Ebola virus exist, still there is a lack of effective therapeutics that cover all filoviruses, including both Ebola and Marburg viruses. Therefore, some anti-filovirus drugs such as Pinocembrin, Favipiravir, Remdesivir and others are used to manage infections.

Donor MHC-specific thymus vaccination allows for immunocompatible allotransplantation.

Organ transplantation is the last-resort option to treat organ failure. However, less than 10% of patients benefit from this only option due to lack of major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-matched donor organs and 25%-80% of donated organs could not find MHC-matched recipients. T cell allorecognition is the principal mechanism for allogeneic graft rejection.
