Vaccine Protection Through Placenta and Breastfeeding: The Unmet Topic in COVID-19 Pandemic

Ariane Laguila Altoe et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant challenges to the healthcare of pregnant women. Increasing evidence suggests that pregnant women are at higher risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19, as well as the potential risk to the fetus. Vaccination during pregnancy is crucial in protecting both the mother and the newborn, as maternal antibodies can be transmitted through the placenta and breastfeeding. However, many questions regarding the immunity transfer, duration, and optimal timing of vaccination in pregnancy remain unanswered.

Seroprevalence Survey of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies in a Population of Emilia-Romagna Region, Northern Italy

Stefania Paduano et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the prevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in a population in the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy. The findings showed higher seroprevalence among self-referred individuals and workers in direct contact with customers. Additionally, women and older age groups had higher prevalence rates. Healthcare professionals and sports sector workers were identified as high-risk groups for exposure to SARS-CoV-2.

Utility of Newborn Dried Blood Spots to Ascertain Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies Among Individuals Giving Birth in New York State, November 2019 to November 2021

Amanda Damjanovic et al.

Summary: This study examined the SARS-CoV-2 antibody prevalence in pregnant individuals in New York State and identified associations between antibody status and maternal and infant characteristics. The results demonstrated the utility of using newborn DBS testing to estimate SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in pregnant individuals.

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.

Giovanni Tripepi et al.

Summary: Italy's experience with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic highlights the importance of early implementation of 'red zones' to limit people's movement. The study found that including cities within 92 to 140 km from Lodi can minimize the spread and mortality of SARS-CoV-2 in neighboring areas.

COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination in Lactation: Assessment of Adverse Events and Vaccine Related Antibodies in Mother-Infant Dyads

Yarden Golan et al.

Summary: The study found that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines generated robust immune responses in both plasma and milk of lactating individuals, with significant transfer of antibodies to milk for potential protection of infants. No severe adverse events were reported in the cohort, indicating the safety and efficacy of vaccination during lactation.

Modeling vaccination rollouts, SARS-CoV-2 variants and the requirement for non-pharmaceutical interventions in Italy

Giulia Giordano et al.

Summary: This study combines multiple models to predict the spread and consequences of COVID-19 cases, finding that non-pharmaceutical interventions have a greater impact on the epidemic evolution. Using a data-based model, different scenarios of vaccine rollouts and interventions are proposed to assess their impact on the pandemic.

The WHO International Standard for COVID-19 serological tests: towards harmonization of anti-spike assays

Maria Infantino et al.

Summary: The study found that results of different commercial quantitative anti-SARS-CoV-2 assays are not interchangeable, emphasizing the importance of using the same method for individual immune monitoring. Additionally, values expressed as BAU/ml showed reduced between-assays variability compared to values expressed as AU/ml.

Longitudinal detection of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody responses with different serological methods

Petra Emmerich et al.

Summary: Serological testing for anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies was conducted using 129 serum samples from patients with confirmed COVID-19 and healthy donors, with different assays showing varying sensitivities and specificities. IgA and IgM assays had higher sensitivities, peaking between 11 and 20 days post symptom onset, while IgG assays peaked between 20 and 60 days. The use of IIFT with the whole SARS-CoV-2 substrate showed the highest sensitivities in detecting prior infections.
