RESUMO
The highly conserved and essential Plasmodium falciparum reticulocyte-binding protein homolog 5 (PfRH5) has emerged as the leading target for vaccines against the disease-causing blood stage of malaria. However, the features of the human vaccine-induced antibody response that confer highly potent inhibition of malaria parasite invasion into red blood cells are not well defined. Here, we characterize 236 human IgG monoclonal antibodies, derived from 15 donors, induced by the most advanced PfRH5 vaccine. We define the antigenic landscape of this molecule and establish that epitope specificity, antibody association rate, and intra-PfRH5 antibody interactions are key determinants of functional anti-parasitic potency. In addition, we identify a germline IgG gene combination that results in an exceptionally potent class of antibody and demonstrate its prophylactic potential to protect against P. falciparum parasite challenge in vivo. This comprehensive dataset provides a framework to guide rational design of next-generation vaccines and prophylactic antibodies to protect against blood-stage malaria.
RESUMO
Background: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is associated with significant neonatal and infant morbidity and mortality. Maternal bivalent RSVpreF RSV vaccination to protect neonates and infants was approved in September 2023 for administration between 32+0 and 36+6 weeks to protect neonates and infants. This approved timeframe is narrower than the 24-36 week window evaluated in the clinical trial, due to the possible association between preterm birth and vaccine administration. Currently, data are lacking on how maternal vaccine timing within the approved window affects the transfer of antibodies from mother to fetus, critical information that could influence clinical practice. Objectives: We sought to examine how gestational age at vaccination and time elapsed from maternal RSV vaccination to delivery impacted transfer of maternal antibodies measured in the umbilical cord at delivery and in peripheral blood of 2-month infants. We also examined differences in maternal and cord RSV antibody levels achieved by vaccination versus natural RSV infection. Study Design: A prospective cohort study was conducted at two academic medical centers between September 20, 2023 and March 21, 2024, enrolling 124 individuals who received the RSV vaccine during pregnancy. Infant capillary blood was collected at 2 months of age from 29 of the infants. Maternal and cord IgG levels achieved by RSV vaccination were compared to those associated with maternal natural RSV infection, using banked blood from 20 maternal:cord dyads collected prior to the availability of the maternal RSV vaccine. Levels of IgG against RSV strain A2 and B fusion (F) and attachment (G) proteins and against pertussis toxin (as a comparator antigen from a vaccine routinely administered earlier in pregnancy) were measured using a Binding Antibody Multiplex Assay. Differences in titers between vaccination and natural infection were examined using Wilcoxon rank sum test. Differences in cord:maternal transfer ratios and 2-month infant antibody levels by timing of maternal vaccination were evaluated by Kruskal-Wallis testing. Results: Maternal RSV vaccination resulted in significantly higher maternal and cord anti-F RSV antibody levels than natural infection (5.72 vs 4.82 log 10 MFI, p < 0.0001 maternal; 5.81 vs 5.03 log 10 MFI, p < 0.0001 cord). Maternal vaccination 2-3 weeks and 3-4 weeks prior to delivery was associated with significantly lower cord:maternal transfer ratios than were observed when vaccination occurred > 5 weeks prior to delivery (p = 0.03 for 2-3 weeks, p = 0.007 for 3-4 weeks), and significantly lower transfer ratios than observed for pertussis vaccination administered prior to 30 weeks' gestation (p = 0.008 for 2-3 weeks, p = 0.03 for 3-4 weeks, similar at > 4 weeks). Conclusions: Vaccine administration earlier in the approved 32-36 week window (at least 5 weeks prior to delivery) results in the highest transplacental transfer of maternal antibodies to the neonate. These results should inform the counseling of pregnant individuals on optimal vaccination timing.
RESUMO
The anti-tumor function of engineered T cells expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) is dependent on signals transduced through intracellular signaling domains (ICDs). Different ICDs are known to drive distinct phenotypes, but systematic investigations into how ICD architectures direct T cell function-particularly at the molecular level-are lacking. Here, we use single-cell sequencing to map diverse signaling inputs to transcriptional outputs, focusing on a defined library of clinically relevant ICD architectures. Informed by these observations, we functionally characterize transcriptionally distinct ICD variants across various contexts to build comprehensive maps from ICD composition to phenotypic output. We identify a unique tonic signaling signature associated with a subset of ICD architectures that drives durable in vivo persistence and efficacy in liquid, but not solid, tumors. Our findings work toward decoding CAR signaling design principles, with implications for the rational design of next-generation ICD architectures optimized for in vivo function.
RESUMO
Chimeric antigen receptor therapies have demonstrated potent efficacy in treating B cell malignancies, but have yet to meaningfully translate to solid tumors. Here, we utilize our pooled screening platform, CARPOOL, to expedite the discovery of CARs with anti-tumor functions necessary for solid tumor efficacy. We performed selections in primary human T cells expressing a library of 1.3×10 6 3 rd generation CARs targeting IL13Rα2, a cancer testis antigen commonly expressed in glioblastoma. Selections were performed for cytotoxicity, proliferation, memory formation, and persistence upon repeated antigen challenge. Each enriched CAR robustly produced the phenotype for which it was selected, and one enriched CAR triggered potent cytotoxicity and long-term proliferation upon in vitro tumor rechallenge. It also showed significantly improved persistence and comparable antigen-specific tumor control in a microphysiological human in vitro model and a xenograft model of human glioblastoma. Taken together, this work demonstrates the utility of extending CARPOOL to diseases beyond hematological malignancies and represents the largest exploration of signaling combinations in human primary cells to date.
RESUMO
Antibody features vary with tuberculosis (TB) disease state. Whether clinical variables, such as age or sex, influence associations between Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific antibody responses and disease state is not well explored. Here we profiled Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific antibody responses in 140 TB-exposed South African individuals from the Adolescent Cohort Study. We identified distinct response features in individuals progressing to active TB from non-progressing, matched controls. A multivariate antibody score differentially associated with progression (SeroScore) identified progressors up to 2 years before TB diagnosis, earlier than that achieved with the RISK6 transcriptional signature of progression. We validated these antibody response features in the Grand Challenges 6-74 cohort. Both the SeroScore and RISK6 correlated better with risk of TB progression in adolescents compared with adults, and in males compared with females. This suggests that age and sex are important, underappreciated modifiers of antibody responses associated with TB progression.

Many diseases emerge from dysregulated cellular signaling, and drugs are often designed to target specific signaling proteins. Off-target effects are, however, common and may ultimately result in failed clinical trials. Here we develop a computer model of the cell's transcriptional response to drugs for improved understanding of their mechanisms of action. The model is based on ensembles of artificial neural networks and simultaneously infers drug-target interactions and their downstream effects on intracellular signaling. With this, it predicts transcription factors' activities, while recovering known drug-target interactions and inferring many new ones, which we validate with an independent dataset. As a case study, we analyze the effects of the drug Lestaurtinib on downstream signaling. Alongside its intended target, FLT3, the model predicts an inhibition of CDK2 that enhances the downregulation of the cell cycle-critical transcription factor FOXM1. Our approach can therefore enhance our understanding of drug signaling for therapeutic design.
RESUMO
Completion of a COVID-19 vaccination series during pregnancy effectively reduces COVID-19 hospitalization among infants less than 6 months of age. The dynamics of transplacental transfer of maternal vaccine-induced antibodies, and their persistence in infants at 2, 6, 9, and 12 months, have implications for new vaccine development and optimal timing of vaccine administration in pregnancy. We evaluated anti-COVID antibody IgG subclass, Fc-receptor binding profile, and activity against wild-type Spike and RBD plus five variants of concern (VOCs) in 153 serum samples from 100 infants. Maternal IgG1 and IgG3 responses persisted in 2- and 6-month infants to a greater extent than the other IgG subclasses, with high persistence of antibodies binding placental neonatal Fc-receptor and FcγR3A. Lowest persistence was observed against the Omicron RBD-specific region. Maternal vaccine timing, placental Fc-receptor binding capabilities, antibody subclass, fetal sex, and VOC all impact the persistence of antibodies in infants through 12 months of age.
RESUMO
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), remains a global health burden. While Mtb is primarily a respiratory pathogen, it can spread to other organs, including the brain and meninges, causing TB meningitis (TBM). However, little is known about the immunological mechanisms that leads to differential disease across organs. Attention has focused on differences in T cell responses in the control of Mtb in the lungs, but emerging data point to a role for antibodies, as both biomarkers of disease control and as antimicrobial molecules. Given an increasing appreciation for compartmentalized antibody responses across the blood brain barrier, here we characterized the antibody profiles across the blood and brain compartments during TBM, and determined whether Mtb-specific humoral immune responses differed between Mtb infection of the lung (pulmonary TB) and TBM. Using a high throughput systems serology approach, we deeply profiled the antibody responses against 10 different Mtb antigens, including lipoarabinomannan (LAM) and purified protein derivative (PPD), in HIV-negative adults with pulmonary TB (n=10) vs TBM (n=60). Antibody studies included analysis of immunoglobulin isotypes (IgG, IgM, IgA) and subclass levels (IgG1-4), the capacity of Mtb-specific antibodies to bind to Fc receptors or C1q, and to activate innate immune effectors functions (complement and NK cells activation, monocyte or neutrophil phagocytosis). Machine learning methods were applied to characterize serum and CSF responses in TBM, identify prognostic factors associated with disease severity, and define the key antibody features that distinguish TBM from pulmonary TB. In individuals with TBM, we identified CSF-specific antibody profiles that marked a unique and compartmentalized humoral response against Mtb, characterized by an enrichment of Mtb-specific antibodies able to robustly activate complement and drive phagocytosis by monocytes and neutrophils, all of which were associated with milder TBM severity at presentation. Moreover, individuals with TBM exhibited Mtb-specific antibodies in the serum with an increased capacity to activate phagocytosis by monocytes, compared to individuals with pulmonary TB, despite having lower IgG titers and Fcγ receptors (FcγR)-binding capacity. Collectively, these data point to functionally divergent humoral responses depending on the site of infection (i.e. lungs vs brain), and demonstrate a highly compartmentalized Mtb-specific antibody response within the CSF during TBM. Moreover, our results suggest that phagocytosis- and complement-mediating antibodies may promote attenuated neuropathology and milder TBM disease.
RESUMO
Lyme arthritis, caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, is the most common feature of late disseminated Lyme disease in the United States. While most Lyme arthritis resolves with antibiotics, termed "antibiotic-responsive", some individuals develop progressive synovitis despite antibiotic therapy, called "antibiotic-refractory" Lyme arthritis (LA). The primary drivers behind antibiotic-refractory arthritis remain incompletely understood. We performed a matched, cross-compartmental comparison of antibody profiles from blood and joint fluid of individuals with antibiotic-responsive (n = 11) or antibiotic-refractory LA (n = 31). While serum antibody profiles poorly discriminated responsive from refractory patients, a discrete profile of B.burgdorferi-specific antibodies in joint fluid discriminated antibiotic-responsive from refractory LA. Cross-compartmental comparison of antibody glycosylation, IgA1, and antibody-dependent complement deposition (ADCD) revealed more poorly coordinated humoral responses and increased ADCD in refractory disease. These data reveal B.burgdorferi-specific serological markers that may support early stratification and clinical management, and point to antibody-dependent complement activation as a key mechanism underlying persistent disease.
RESUMO
Although young children generally experience mild symptoms following infection with SARS-CoV-2, severe acute and long-term complications can occur. SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines elicit robust immunoglobulin profiles in children ages 5 years and older, and in adults, corresponding with substantial protection against hospitalizations and severe disease. Whether similar immune responses and humoral protection can be observed in vaccinated infants and young children, who have a developing and vulnerable immune system, remains poorly understood. To study the impact of mRNA vaccination on the humoral immunity of infant, we use a system serology approach to comprehensively profile antibody responses in a cohort of children ages 6 months to 5 years who were vaccinated with the mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine (25 µg). Responses are compared with vaccinated adults (100 µg), in addition to naturally infected toddlers and young children. Despite their lower vaccine dose, vaccinated toddlers elicit a functional antibody response as strong as adults, with higher antibody-dependent phagocytosis compared to adults, without report of side effects. Moreover, mRNA vaccination is associated with a higher IgG3-dependent humoral profile against SARS-CoV-2 compared to natural infection, supporting that mRNA vaccination is effective at eliciting a robust antibody response in toddlers and young children.

The development of therapeutics and vaccines for human diseases requires a systematic understanding of human biology. Although animal and in vitro culture models can elucidate some disease mechanisms, they typically fail to adequately recapitulate human biology as evidenced by the predominant likelihood of clinical trial failure. To address this problem, we developed AutoTransOP, a neural network autoencoder framework, to map omics profiles from designated species or cellular contexts into a global latent space, from which germane information for different contexts can be identified without the typically imposed requirement of matched orthologues. This approach was found in general to perform at least as well as current alternative methods in identifying animal/culture-specific molecular features predictive of other contexts-most importantly without requiring homology matching. For an especially challenging test case, we successfully applied our framework to a set of inter-species vaccine serology studies, where 1-to-1 mapping between human and non-human primate features does not exist.

The reduced effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines due to the emergence of variants of concern (VOCs) necessitated the use of vaccine boosters to bolster protection against disease. However, it remains unclear how boosting expands protective breadth when primary vaccine platforms are distinct and how boosters containing VOC spike(s) broaden humoral responses. Here, we report that boosters composed of recombinant spike antigens of ancestral (prototype) and Beta VOCs elicit a robust, pan-VOC, and multi-functional humoral response in non-human primates largely independent of the primary vaccine series platform. Interestingly, Beta-spike-containing boosters stimulate immunoglobulin A (IgA) with a greater breadth of recognition in protein-primed recipients when administered with adjuvant system 03 (AS03). Our results highlight the utility of a component-based booster strategy for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) for broad humoral recognition, independent of primary vaccine series. This is of high global health importance given the heterogeneity of primary vaccination platforms distributed.

A common strategy for exploring single-cell 'omics data is visualizing 2D nonlinear projections that aim to preserve high-dimensional data properties such as neighborhoods. Alternatively, mathematical theory and other computational tools can directly describe data geometry, while also showing that neighborhoods and other properties cannot be well-preserved in any 2D projection.
RESUMO
Beyond the acute illness caused by severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, about one-fifth of infections result in long-term persistence of symptoms despite the apparent clearance of infection. Insights into the mechanisms that underlie postacute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) will be critical for the prevention and clinical management of long-term complications of COVID-19. Several hypotheses have been proposed that may account for the development of PASC, including persistence of virus and dysregulation of immune responses. Among the immunological changes noted in PASC, alterations in humoral immunity have been observed in some patient subsets. To begin to determine whether SARS-CoV-2- or other pathogen-specific humoral immune responses evolve uniquely in PASC, we performed comprehensive antibody profiling against SARS-CoV-2, a panel of endemic pathogens, and a panel of routine vaccine antigens using systems serology in two cohorts of patients with preexisting systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease (SARD) who either developed or did not develop PASC. A distinct qualitative shift observed in Fcγ receptor (FcγR) binding was observed in individuals with PASC. Specifically, individuals with PASC harbored weaker FcγR-binding anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and stronger FcγR-binding antibody responses against the endemic coronavirus OC43. Individuals with PASC developed an OC43 S2-specific antibody response with stronger FcγR binding, linked to cross-reactivity across SARS-CoV-2 and common coronaviruses. These findings identify previous coronavirus imprinting as a potential marker for the development of PASC in individuals with SARDs.

Altering the route of Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunization from low-dose intradermal vaccination to high-dose intravenous (IV) vaccination resulted in a high level of protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ) infection, providing an opportunity to uncover immune correlates and mechanisms of protection. In addition to strong T cell immunity, IV BCG vaccination was associated with a robust expansion of humoral immune responses that tracked with bacterial control. However, given the near complete protection afforded by high-dose IV BCG immunization, a precise correlate of immune protection was difficult to define. Here we leveraged plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) from a cohort of rhesus macaques that received decreasing doses of IV BCG and aimed to define the correlates of immunity across macaques that experienced immune protection or breakthrough infection following Mtb challenge. We show an IV BCG dose-dependent induction of mycobacterial-specific humoral immune responses, both in the plasma and in the airways. Moreover, antibody responses at peak immunogenicity significantly predicted bacterial control following challenge. Multivariate analyses revealed antibody-mediated complement and NK cell activating humoral networks as key functional signatures associated with protective immunity. Collectively, this work extends our understanding of humoral biomarkers and potential mechanisms of IV BCG mediated protection against Mtb .
RESUMO
Genotoxic stress in mammalian cells, including those caused by anti-cancer chemotherapy, can induce temporary cell-cycle arrest, DNA damage-induced senescence (DDIS), or apoptotic cell death. Despite obvious clinical importance, it is unclear how the signals emerging from DNA damage are integrated together with other cellular signaling pathways monitoring the cell's environment and/or internal state to control different cell fates. Using single-cell-based signaling measurements combined with tensor partial least square regression (t-PLSR)/principal component analysis (PCA) analysis, we show that JNK and Erk MAPK signaling regulates the initiation of cell senescence through the transcription factor AP-1 at early times after doxorubicin-induced DNA damage and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) at late times after damage. These results identify temporally distinct roles for signaling pathways beyond the classic DNA damage response (DDR) that control the cell senescence decision and modulate the tumor microenvironment and reveal fundamental similarities between signaling pathways responsible for oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) and senescence caused by topoisomerase II inhibition. A record of this paper's transparent peer review process is included in the supplemental information.

Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG), the only approved Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) vaccine, provides limited durable protection when administered intradermally. However, recent work revealed that intravenous (i.v.) BCG administration yielded greater protection in macaques. Here, we perform a dose-ranging study of i.v. BCG vaccination in macaques to generate a range of immune responses and define correlates of protection. Seventeen of 34 macaques had no detectable infection after Mtb challenge. Multivariate analysis incorporating longitudinal cellular and humoral immune parameters uncovered an extensive and highly coordinated immune response from the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). A minimal signature predicting protection contained four BAL immune features, of which three remained significant after dose correction: frequency of CD4 T cells producing TNF with interferon γ (IFNγ), frequency of those producing TNF with IL-17, and the number of NK cells. Blood immune features were less predictive of protection. We conclude that CD4 T cell immunity and NK cells in the airway correlate with protection following i.v. BCG.

Despite the success of COVID-19 vaccines, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of concern have emerged that can cause breakthrough infections. Although protection against severe disease has been largely preserved, the immunological mediators of protection in humans remain undefined. We performed a substudy on the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AZD1222) vaccinees enrolled in a South African clinical trial. At peak immunogenicity, before infection, no differences were observed in immunoglobulin (Ig)G1-binding antibody titers; however, the vaccine induced different Fc-receptor-binding antibodies across groups. Vaccinees who resisted COVID-19 exclusively mounted FcγR3B-binding antibodies. In contrast, enhanced IgA and IgG3, linked to enriched FcγR2B binding, was observed in individuals who experienced breakthrough. Antibodies unable to bind to FcγR3B led to immune complex clearance and resulted in inflammatory cascades. Differential antibody binding to FcγR3B was linked to Fc-glycosylation differences in SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies. These data potentially point to specific FcγR3B-mediated antibody functional profiles as critical markers of immunity against COVID-19.

Despite the successes of current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines, waning immunity, the emergence of variants of concern, and breakthrough infections among vaccinees have begun to highlight opportunities to improve vaccine platforms. Real-world vaccine efficacy studies have highlighted the reduced risk of breakthrough infections and diseases among individuals infected and vaccinated, referred to as hybrid immunity. Thus, we sought to define whether hybrid immunity shapes the humoral immune response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) following Pfizer/BNT162b2, Moderna mRNA-1273, ChadOx1/AZD1222, and Ad26.COV2.S vaccination. Each vaccine exhibits a unique functional humoral profile in vaccination only or hybrid immunity. However, hybrid immunity shows a unique augmentation of S2-domain-specific functional immunity that was poorly induced for the vaccination only. These data highlight the importance of natural infection in breaking the immunodominance away from the evolutionarily unstable S1 domain and potentially affording enhanced cross-variant protection by targeting the more highly conserved S2 domain of SARS-CoV-2.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), remains a global public health emergency. Although SARS-CoV-2 is primarily a respiratory pathogen, extra-respiratory organs, including the CNS, can also be affected. Neurologic symptoms have been observed not only during acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, but also at distance from respiratory disease, also known as long-COVID or neurological post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (neuroPASC). The pathogenesis of neuroPASC is not well understood, but hypotheses include SARS-CoV-2-induced immune dysfunctions, hormonal dysregulations and persistence of SARS-CoV-2 reservoirs. In this prospective cohort study, we used a high throughput systems serology approach to dissect the humoral response to SARS-CoV-2 (and other common coronaviruses: 229E, HKU1, NL63 and OC43) in the serum and CSF from 112 infected individuals who developed (n = 18) or did not develop (n = 94) neuroPASC. Unique SARS-CoV-2 humoral profiles were observed in the CSF of neuroPASC compared with serum responses. All antibody isotypes (IgG, IgM, IgA) and subclasses (IgA1-2, IgG1-4) were detected in serum, whereas CSF was characterized by focused IgG1 (and absence of IgM). These data argue in favour of compartmentalized brain-specific responses against SARS-CoV-2 through selective transfer of antibodies from the serum to the CSF across the blood-brain barrier, rather than intrathecal synthesis, where more diversity in antibody classes/subclasses would be expected. Compared to individuals who did not develop post-acute complications following infection, individuals with neuroPASC had similar demographic features (median age 65 versus 66.5 years, respectively, P = 0.55; females 33% versus 44%, P = 0.52) but exhibited attenuated systemic antibody responses against SARS-CoV-2, characterized by decreased capacity to activate antibody-dependent complement deposition (ADCD), NK cell activation (ADNKA) and to bind Fcγ receptors. However, surprisingly, neuroPASC individuals showed significantly expanded antibody responses to other common coronaviruses, including 229E, HKU1, NL63 and OC43. This biased humoral activation across coronaviruses was particularly enriched in neuroPASC individuals with poor outcome, suggesting an 'original antigenic sin' (or immunologic imprinting), where pre-existing immune responses against related viruses shape the response to the current infection, as a key prognostic marker of neuroPASC disease. Overall, these findings point to a pathogenic role for compromised anti-SARS-CoV-2 responses in the CSF, likely resulting in incomplete virus clearance from the brain and persistent neuroinflammation, in the development of post-acute neurologic complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
