Normal responses of rubella-specific IgG and IgM antibody were assessed in eight patient by immunofluorescence. A prolonged rubella-specific IgM response was shown in three patients with complications of rubella infection. Two patients had thrombocytopenic purpura and one had carpal-tunnel compression.

Replication-incompetent VSV-based vaccine elicits protective responses against SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and influenza viruses lead to severe respiratory illnesses and death in humans, exacerbated in individuals with underlying health conditions, remaining substantial global public health concerns. Here, we developed a bivalent replication-incompetent single-cycle pseudotyped vesicular stomatitis virus vaccine that incorporates both a prefusion-stabilized SARS-CoV-2 spike protein lacking a furin cleavage site and a full-length influenza A virus neuraminidase protein. Vaccination of K18-hACE2 or C57BL/6J mouse models generated durable levels of neutralizing antibodies, T cell responses, and protection from morbidity and mortality upon challenge with either virus.

Background: Scrub typhus, a disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, triggers systemic vasculitis and is prevalent in Eastern and Southern Asia. This study aimed to uncover the relationship between scrub typhus and autoimmune responses, focusing on antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) and the implications of elevated ANA titers during infection.
Method: Data from a total of 139 patients diagnosed with scrub typhus and 30 healthy controls were retrospectively analyzed through serum samples to assess the levels of ANAs and related autoantibodies.

Background: To develop an effective vaccine against Plasmodium vivax, the most widely dispersed human malaria parasite, it is critical to understand how coinfections with other pathogens could impact malaria-specific immune response. A recent conceptual study proposed that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a highly prevalent human herpesvirus that establishes lifelong persistent infection, may influence P. vivax antibody responses.

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an acquired immune-mediated bleeding disorder characterized by isolated low platelet (PLT) counts. Immune thrombocytopenic purpura pathogenesis involves multiple immune mechanisms causing PLT destruction and inadequate production. Owing to impaired immune homeostasis, ITP patients can develop other than anti-PLT autoantibodies even in the absence of clinical signs of autoimmune disease, such as anti-thyroglobulin (TG) and anti-thyroperoxidase (TPO) antibodies.

Background: Immunoglobulin A (IgA) plays a crucial role in the maturation the neonatal mucosal barrier. The accumulation of IgA antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) in the lactating mammary gland facilitates the secretion of IgA antibodies into milk, which are then passively to the suckling newborn, providing transient immune protection against gastrointestinal pathogens. Physiologically, full-term infants are unable to produce IgA, required for mucosal barrier maturation for at least 10 days after birth.
