    Vaccine-Induced T Cell Responses Control Orthoflavivirus Challenge Infection without Neutralizing Antibodies in Humans

    Investigators conducted a double-blind, randomized controlled trial involving vaccination and challenge in 33 adult human volunteers, using the live–attenuated yellow fever and chimeric Japanese encephalitis–YF17D vaccines.

    Sequential Intranasal Booster Triggers Class Switching from Intramuscularly Primed IgG to Mucosal IgA against SARS-CoV-2

    A sequential intramuscular+intranasal vaccination strategy significantly enhanced both upper respiratory and systemic antiviral immunity in a mouse model, characterized by the rapid increase in systemic and mucosal T and B cell responses, particularly the mucosal IgA antibody response.

    Vaccination Prior to SARS-CoV-2 Infection Does Not Affect the Neurologic Manifestations of Long COVID

    Scientists investigated whether vaccination prior to infection altered the subsequent neurologic post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

    Tumor Vaccine Exploiting Membranes with Influenza Virus-Induced Immunogenic Cell Death to Decorate Polylactic Coglycolic Acid Nanoparticles

    Investigators introduced a promising strategy for developing cell-based and personalized tumor vaccines by fully taking advantage of the immune stimulation mechanisms of immunogenic cell death occurrence in tumor cells, influenza virus modification, and nanoscale delivery.

    Brucella abortus Impairs T Lymphocyte Responsiveness by Mobilizing IL-1RA-Secreting Omental Neutrophils

    Researchers found that the omentum, a reservoir for B. abortus, promoted bacterial persistence, and caused CD4+ and CD8+ T cell immunosuppression by IL-1RA secreted by PD-L1+Sca-1+ neutrophils.

    SHMT2 Regulates CD8+ T Cell Senescence via the Reactive Oxygen Species Axis in HIV-1 Infected Patients on Antiretroviral Therapy

    Investigators revealed that CD8+ T cells in HIV-infected subjects were inclined towards senescence, and they identified that serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2 (SHMT2), a key enzyme in serine metabolism, played a role in CD8+ T cell senescence.

    Prior Influenza Virus Infection Alleviates an Arbovirus Encephalitis by Reducing Viral Titer, Inflammation, and Cellular Infiltrates in the Central Nervous System

    Scientists defined the impact of influenza virus infection on a subsequent virus encephalitis. They used a model system in which mice were given influenza A virus infection 8 days prior to Semliki Forest virus infection.

    Chlamydia trachomatis Impairs T Cell Priming by Inducing Dendritic Cell Death

    Using a mouse model of infection, scientists found that C. trachomatis uptake reduced the viability of Classical dendritic cells 1s (cDC1s) and cDC2s both in vitro and in vivo, with cDC1s experiencing more death.

    The Prognosis for Delayed Immune Recovery in HIV-Infected Children Might Be Associated with Pre-cART CD4+ T Cell Count Irrespective of Co-Infection with Tuberculosis

    Baseline CD4+ T cell count at the onset of treatment served as a reliable predictor of immunological reconstitution in HIV-infected children with or without tuberculosis co-infection.
