Compromised SARS-CoV-2-specific placental antibody transfer

Caroline Atyeo et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 infection causes more severe disease in pregnant women compared to age-matched non-pregnant women. Transfer of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies across the placenta is significantly reduced compared to other infectious diseases like influenza and pertussis, but can be partially rescued by infection-induced increases in IgG and increased FCGR3A placental expression. These findings provide insights for maternal vaccine design to boost immunity in neonates.

Antibody potency, effector function, and combinations in protection and therapy for SARS-CoV-2 infection in vivo

Summary: The study shows that combined use of hu-mAbs is effective for prevention and therapy of SARS-CoV-2 infection, but in vivo protection is influenced by intact effector function.

Higher severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection rate in pregnant patients

Erica M. Lokken et al.

Summary: This study found that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection rate in pregnant individuals was 70% higher than similarly aged adults in Washington State, especially among those from minority racial and ethnic groups and non-English language users in medical care. Pregnant women were not protected from infection in the early months of the pandemic, suggesting they should be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccine allocation.

COVID-19 Vaccination in Pregnant and Lactating Women

Emily H. Adhikari et al.

Summary: Shared decision-making is crucial when counseling pregnant and nursing women about the unstudied benefits and risks of COVID-19 vaccination. Rigorously designed studies with real-time, proactive data collection are needed to establish evidence quickly about the safety of coronavirus vaccines in mothers and their infants.

Maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection elicits sexually dimorphic placental immune responses

Evan A. Bordt et al.

Summary: There is a persistent bias toward higher prevalence and increased severity of COVID-19 in males. After infection with SARS-CoV-2, pregnant women with male fetuses show altered placental antibody transfer, interferon responses, and protein expression patterns. This study demonstrates a fetal sex-specific immune response to SARS-CoV-2 in pregnant women.

Assessment of Maternal and Neonatal Cord Blood SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies and Placental Transfer Ratios

Dustin D. Flannery et al.

Summary: Efficient transplacental transfer of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies supports the potential for maternally derived antibodies to provide neonatal protection from SARS-CoV-2 infection. This cohort study assesses the association between maternal and neonatal severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific antibody concentrations.

Coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine response in pregnant and lactating women: a cohort study

Kathryn J. Gray et al.

Summary: The study found that pregnant and lactating women had equivalent antibody titers after receiving the coronavirus disease 2019 mRNA vaccine compared to nonpregnant women, and these titers were higher than those induced by natural infection. Vaccine-induced antibodies were present in umbilical cord blood and breastmilk samples, transferring immunity to neonates through placenta and breastmilk.

The multifaceted roles of breast milk antibodies

Caroline Atyeo et al.

Summary: Neonates rely on maternal antibodies transferred via the placenta and breast milk for protection, with breast milk antibodies playing important roles in preventing infections, supporting the selection of commensals, and promoting tolerizing immunity.

Immunogenicity of COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines in Pregnant and Lactating Women

Ai-ris Y. Collier et al.

Summary: This study assessed the immunogenicity of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in pregnant and lactating women, as well as the responses against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. The results showed that pregnant, lactating, and nonpregnant women developed antibody and T-cell responses following vaccination, with antibodies transferred to infant cord blood and breast milk. While antibody titers against the B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 variants were reduced, T-cell responses remained against the viral variants.
