This study on 284 allo-HCT recipients aimed to analyze the impact of FQ on pre-engraftment BSI. A total of 154 patients were colonized with resistant gram-negative bacteria, and 130 patients were not.

Novel Potential Mechanisms of Regulatory B Cell-Mediated Immunosuppression.

B lymphocytes play an important role in the regulation of immune response in both normal and pathological conditions. Traditionally, the main functions of B cells were considered to be antibody production and antigen presentation, but in recent decades there have been discovered several subpopulations of regulatory B lymphocytes (Bregs), which maintain immunological tolerance and prevent overactivation of the immune system. Memory (mBregs, CD19CD24CD27) and transitional (tBregs, CD19CD24CD38) subpopulations of Bregs are usually considered in the context of studying the role of these B cells in various human pathologies.

Architecture of the SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell repertoire.

The T cell response plays an indispensable role in the early control and successful clearance of SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, several important questions remain about the role of cellular immunity in COVID-19, including the shape and composition of disease-specific T cell repertoires across convalescent patients and vaccinated individuals, and how pre-existing T cell responses to other pathogens-in particular, common cold coronaviruses-impact susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection and the subsequent course of disease. This review focuses on how the repertoire of T cell receptors (TCR) is shaped by natural infection and vaccination over time.

Role of Genetic Thrombophilia Markers in Thrombosis Events in Elderly Patients with COVID-19.

Thrombosis is an extremely dangerous complication in elderly patients with COVID-19. Since the first months of the pandemic, anticoagulants have been mandatory in treatment protocols for patients with COVID-19, unless there are serious contraindications. We set out to discover if genetic thrombophilia factors continue to play a triggering role in the occurrence of thrombosis in patients with COVID-19 with prophylactic or therapeutic anticoagulants.

Accumulation of STR-Loci Aberrations in Subclones of Jurkat Cell Line as a Model of Tumor Clonal Evolution.

Many genetic markers are known to distinguish tumor cells from normal. Genetic lesions found at disease onset often belong to a predominant tumor clone, and further observation makes it possible to assess the fate of this clone during therapy. However, minor clones escape monitoring and become unidentified, leading to relapses.

Immunogenicity and safety of a recombinant adenovirus type-5 COVID-19 vaccine in adults: Data from a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose, phase 3 trial in Russia.

Hemophilia A (HA) is one of the most widespread, X-linked, inherited bleeding disorders, which results from defects in the gene. Nowadays, more than 3500 different pathogenic variants leading to HA have been described. Mutation analysis in HA is essential for accurate genetic counseling of patients and their relatives.

Use of thrombopoietin receptor agonists in adults with immune thrombocytopenia: a systematic review and Central European expert consensus.

There are currently three thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs) approved in Europe for treating patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP): romiplostim (Nplate®), eltrombopag (Revolade®), and avatrombopag (Doptelet®). However, comparative clinical data between these TPO-RAs are limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to perform a literature review and seek expert opinion on the relevance and strength of the evidence concerning the use of TPO-RAs in adults with ITP.

Structural insights into protection against a SARS-CoV-2 spike variant by T cell receptor diversity.

T cells play a crucial role in combatting SARS-CoV-2 and forming long-term memory responses to this coronavirus. The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants that can evade T cell immunity has raised concerns about vaccine efficacy and the risk of reinfection. Some SARS-CoV-2 T cell epitopes elicit clonally restricted CD8 T cell responses characterized by T cell receptors (TCRs) that lack structural diversity.

Coronavirus-Specific Antibody and T Cell Responses Developed after Sputnik V Vaccination in Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

The clinical course of the new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has shown that patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are characterized by a high mortality rate, poor response to standard treatment, and low virus-specific antibody response after recovery and/or vaccination. To date, there are no data on the safety and efficacy of the combined vector vaccine Sputnik V in patients with CLL. Here, we analyzed and compared the magnitudes of the antibody and T cell responses after vaccination with the Sputnik V vaccine among healthy donors and individuals with CLL with different statuses of preexposure to coronavirus.

Immunophenotype of Measurable Residual Blast Cells as an Additional Prognostic Factor in Adults with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Measurable residual disease (MRD) is a well-known independent prognostic factor in acute leukemias, and multicolor flow cytometry (MFC) is widely used to detect MRD. MFC is able not only to enumerate MRD accurately but also to describe an antigen expression profile of residual blast cells. However, the relationship between MRD immunophenotype and patient survival probability has not yet been studied.
