In a clinical trial of Bangladeshi infants who received three doses of RotaTeq (ages 6, 10, and 14 weeks), we did a head-to-head assessment of two vaccine virus strains to measure rotavirus IgA in sera. Serum samples collected at pre-dose 1 (age 6 weeks) and post-dose 3 (age 22 weeks) were tested for rotavirus IgA by EIA by using the matching vaccine strain (RotaTeq) and a different vaccine strain (Rotarix) as antigens. Overall, rotavirus IgA seropositivity and titers with each antigen were compared. At age 22 weeks (N = 531), the proportion of infants who tested rotavirus IgA seropositive was similar when measured using the RotaTeq (412/531 [78%]) or the Rotarix antigen (403/531 [76%]) in the EIA. However, the IgA geometric mean titer was higher when measured using the RotaTeq antigen as compared to that measured using the Rotarix antigen [218 (95%CI: 176-270) vs. 93 (77-111), < .0001]. We have compared two globally licensed vaccines, the human monovalent, and the pentavalent reassortant, as antigens on a RotaTeq cohort, resulting in higher estimations of IgA antibodies in the same sample when measured using the RotaTeq antigen. Our findings support matching vaccine antigens in EIA for the most desired immunogenicity testing of the RotaTeq vaccine.

Breast milk delivery of an engineered dimeric IgA protects neonates against rotavirus.

Dimeric IgA (dIgA) is the dominant antibody in many mucosal tissues. It is actively transported onto mucosal surfaces as secretory IgA (sIgA) which plays an integral role in protection against enteric pathogens, particularly in young children. Therapeutic strategies that deliver engineered, potently neutralizing antibodies directly into the infant intestine through breast milk could provide enhanced antimicrobial protection for neonates.

Article Synopsis
- Rotavirus infection in preschool-aged Nigerian children increases intestinal health issues and affects immune responses, which can reduce the effectiveness of the rotavirus vaccine.
- A study measured immune markers such as rotavirus-specific IgA and various cytokines before and after vaccination in children with rotavirus infection compared to children without helminth infections.
- Results showed that infected children had lower levels of certain cytokines post-vaccination and diminished RV-IgA levels, indicating that the infection negatively impacts vaccine response.

Article Synopsis
- Newborns have an underdeveloped immune system, making them vulnerable to infections like rotavirus (RV), which is a major cause of child mortality, especially in developing countries.
- Maternal immunity plays a crucial role in providing protection against RV through pregnancy and breastfeeding, and this study investigates how enhancing maternal diet can boost newborn immunity.
- Pregnant rats receiving a specific synbiotic showed pups with reduced RV infection severity and elevated levels of immune-related antibodies, indicating that this dietary intervention improves the pups' ability to fight off infections.
Associations between Histo-Blood Group Antigen Status in Mother-Infant Dyads and Infant Oral Rotavirus Vaccine Immunogenicity in rural Zimbabwe.

Introduction: Histo-blood group antigen (HBGA) phenotypes may contribute to poor oral rotavirus vaccine (RVV) immunogenicity, since rotavirus binds intestinal epithelial HBGA glycans, while maternal HBGA status shapes breastmilk composition, which influences the composition of the infant microbiome. We investigated associations between maternal/infant HBGA phenotypes and RVV immunogenicity in rural Zimbabwe.
Methods: We undertook salivary FUT2/FUT3 phenotyping in mother-infant pairs.

Article Synopsis
- - Enteric viruses are a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis globally, particularly affecting children and the elderly, and can also lead to severe neurological diseases like poliomyelitis.
- - Understanding of immune responses to these viruses is primarily derived from animal studies, although vaccines (like those for poliovirus and rotavirus) have advanced our knowledge, particularly regarding protective immunity.
- - Research on Inborn Errors of Immunity highlights the importance of antibodies, showing that individuals with inadequate antibody production are more susceptible to prolonged enteric viral infections and related neurological issues due to the role of B cells and immunoglobulins in viral control.
