Linking Immune Evasion Mechanisms to Staphylococcal Vaccine Failures.

Published: April 2024

Vaccination arguably remains the only long-term strategy to limit the spread of infections and its related antibiotic resistance. To date, however, all staphylococcal vaccines tested in clinical trials have failed. In this review, we propose that the failure of vaccines is intricately linked to prior host exposure to and the pathogen's capacity to evade adaptive immune defenses. We suggest that non-protective immune imprints created by previous exposure to are preferentially recalled by SA vaccines, and IL-10 induced by S. aureus plays a unique role in shaping these non-protective anti-staphylococcal immune responses. We discuss how modifies the host immune landscape, which thereby necessitates alternative approaches to develop successful staphylococcal vaccines.

Developing intranasal vaccines against pandemics and devastating airborne infectious diseases is imperative. The superiority of intranasal vaccines over injectable systemic vaccines is evident, but developing effective intranasal vaccines presents significant challenges. Fusing a protein antigen with the catalytic domain of cholera toxin (CTA1) and the two-domain D of staphylococcal protein A (DD) has significant potential for intranasal vaccines.

Pathobionts have evolved many strategies to coexist with the host, but how immune evasion mechanisms contribute to the difficulty of developing vaccines against pathobionts is unclear. Meanwhile, Staphylococcus aureus (SA) has resisted human vaccine development to date. Here we show that prior SA exposure induces non-protective CD4 T cell imprints, leading to the blunting of protective IsdB vaccine responses.

Despite many attempts, there is currently no approved vaccine to prevent Staphylococcus aureus infections. Preclinical vaccination models have failed to predict vaccine efficacy in humans as S. aureus exposure in humans imprints an immune response that is lacking in naive animals.

Pathobiont-driven antibody sialylation through IL-10 undermines vaccination.

The pathobiont Staphylococcus aureus (Sa) induces nonprotective antibody imprints that underlie ineffective staphylococcal vaccination. However, the mechanism by which Sa modifies antibody activity is not clear. Herein, we demonstrate that IL-10 is the decisive factor that abrogates antibody protection in mice.
