Background: Antibody-mediated protection can depend on mechanisms varying from neutralization to Fc-dependent innate immune-cell recruitment. Adjuvanted vaccine development relies on a holistic understanding of how adjuvants modulate the quantity/titer and quality of the antibody response.
Methods: A Phase 2 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00805389) evaluated hepatitis B vaccines formulated with licensed adjuvants (AS01, AS01, AS03, AS04 or Alum) in antigen-naïve adults. The trial investigated the role of adjuvants in shaping antibody-effector functions, and identified an innate transcriptional response shared by AS01, AS01 and AS03. We integrated previously reported data on the innate response (gene expression, cytokine/C-reactive protein levels) and on quantitative/qualitative features of the mature antibody response (Fc-related parameters, immunoglobulin titers, avidity). Associations between the innate and humoral parameters were explored using systems vaccinology and a machine-learning framework.
Results: A dichotomy in responses between AS01/AS03 and AS04/Alum (with the former two contributing most to the association with the humoral response) was observed across all timepoints of this longitudinal study. The consistent patterns over time suggested a similarity in the impacts of the two-dose immunization regimen, year-long interval, and non-adjuvanted antigenic challenge given one year later. An innate signature characterized by interferon pathway-related gene expression and secreted interferon-γ-induced protein 10 and C-reactive protein, which was shared by AS01 and AS03, consistently predicted both the qualitative antibody response features and the titers. The signature also predicted from the antibody response quality, the group of adjuvants from which the administered vaccine was derived.
Conclusion: An innate signature induced by AS01- or AS03-adjuvanted vaccines predicts the antibody response magnitude and quality consistently over time.

Introduction: We sought to explore the variability of antibody responses to multiple vaccines during early life in individual children, assess the trajectory of each child longitudinally, determine the associations of demographic variables and antibiotic exposures with vaccine-induced immunity, and link vaccine responsiveness to infection proneness.
Methods: In 357 prospectively-recruited children, age six through 36 months, antibody levels to 13 routine vaccine antigens were measured in sera at multiple time points and normalized to their respective protective thresholds to categorize children into four groups: very low, low, normal, and high vaccine responder. Demographic variables and frequency of antibiotic exposure data were collected.

Inhibitors of the PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint have revolutionized cancer treatment. However, the clinical response remains limited, with only 20% of patients benefiting from treatment and approximately 60% of PD-L1-positive patients exhibiting resistance. One key factor contributing to resistance is the externalization of phosphatidylserine (PS) on the surface of cancer cells, which suppresses immune responses and promotes PD-L1 expression, further hindering the efficacy of PD-L1 blockade therapies.

Patients diagnosed with metastatic basal cell carcinoma (BCC) have a poor prognosis. The current standard of care for adults with locally advanced or metastatic BCC who are not candidates for surgery or radiation therapy is treatment with hedgehog pathway inhibitors (HHIs). For patients who progress while on this therapy, further treatment options are limited.

Due to their lipophilicity and low content, the major sesame oleosin allergens, Ses i 4 and Ses i 5, are challenging to identify using conventional techniques. Then, a novel unlabeled electrochemical immunosensor was developed to detect the potential allergic activity of sesame oleosins. The voltammetric immunosensor was constructed using a composite of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), polyethyleneimine (PEI), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), which was synthesized in a one-pot process and modified onto a glass carbon electrode to enhance the catalytic current of the oxygen reduction reaction.
