Mashup Score: 11Immune responses to mRNA vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory rheumatic diseases - 2 year(s) ago
Background Patients with immune-mediated rheumatic diseases (IMRDs) are commonly treated with immunosuppressors and prone to infections. Recently introduced mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have demonstrated extraordinary efficacy across all ages. Immunosuppressed patients were excluded from phase III trials with SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. Aims To fully characterise B-cell and T-cell immune responses…

Mashup Score: 0Safety, infectivity and immunogenicity of a genetically attenuated blood-stage malaria vaccine - BMC Medicine - 2 year(s) ago
Background There is a clear need for novel approaches to malaria vaccine development. We aimed to develop a genetically attenuated blood-stage vaccine and test its safety, infectivity, and immunogenicity in healthy volunteers. Our approach was to target the gene encoding the knob-associated histidine-rich protein (KAHRP), which is responsible for the assembly of knob structures at the infected…

Mashup Score: 5Impact of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs on vaccine immunogenicity in patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases - 3 year(s) ago
Patients with rheumatic diseases are at increased risk of infectious complications; vaccinations are a critical component of their care. Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs may reduce the immunogenicity of common vaccines. We will review here available data regarding the effect of these medications on influenza, pneumococcal, herpes zoster, SARS-CoV-2, hepatitis B, human papilloma virus and…

Mashup Score: 6Weak immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in patients with hematologic malignancies - Blood Cancer Journal - 3 year(s) ago
This study evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of BNT162b2 vaccine in patients with hematological malignancies. Antibodies blocking spike binding to immobilized ACE-2 (NAb) correlated with anti-Spike (S) IgG d42 titers (Spearman r = 0.865, p < 0.0001), and an anti-S IgG d42 level ≥3100 UA/mL was predictive of NAb ≥ 30%, the positivity cutoff for NAb (p < 0.0001). Only 47% of the patients...

Mashup Score: 0An AAV-based, room-temperature stable, single dose COVID-19 vaccine provides durable immunogenicity and protection in non-human primates - 3 year(s) ago
Zabaleta and colleagues report AAVCOVID, an experimental preventative vaccine for COVID-19. AAVCOVID is a vaccine that delivers the SARS-CoV-2 Spike antigen as a gene via an adeno-associated vector. Results demonstrate protection from viral challenge in NHPs, durable immunogenicity, cross-reactivity with emerging variants, scaled production, and room-temperature stability for 1 month.

Mashup Score: 1Interferon-armed RBD dimer enhances the immunogenicity of RBD for sterilizing immunity against SARS-CoV-2 - Cell Research - 3 year(s) ago
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a global crisis, urgently necessitating the development of safe, efficacious, convenient-to-store, and low-cost vaccine options. A major challenge is that the receptor-binding domain (RBD)-only vaccine fails to trigger long-lasting protective immunity if used alone for vaccination. To enhance antigen processing and…

Mashup Score: 1
The inactivated vaccine against COVID-19 was well tolerated and immunogenic in both younger and older adults. The two-dose schedule of 5 µg on days 0 and 21/28 and three-dose schedules on days 0, 28, and 56 could be further evaluated for long-term safety and efficacy in the phase 3 trials.
