Respiratory syncytial virus prevention within reach: the vaccine and monoclonal antibody landscape

Natalie Mazur et al.

Summary: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of infant mortality and morbidity in older adults. Efforts are being made to develop RSV vaccines and immunoprophylaxis using various approaches, with 33 candidates currently in clinical development. Understanding antibody targets has led to more rational and structure-based vaccine design. An extended half-life monoclonal antibody for infants is expected to receive regulatory approval within a year. Other approaches include live-attenuated vaccines for older infants, subunit vaccines for pregnant women, and vector and nucleic acid vaccines for older adults. Ensuring access and affordability of RSV vaccines globally is a priority.

T follicular helper cells and their impact on humoral responses during pathogen and vaccine challenge

Jennifer A. Juno et al.

Summary: T follicular helper (Tfh) cells play a crucial role in the development, maintenance, and output of the germinal centre (GC) response, impacting vaccine immunity. Different cytokine environments influence Tfh cell differentiation, while sampling lymph nodes offers new avenues for studying GC responses directly.

Safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the respiratory syncytial virus prefusion F subunit vaccine DS-Cav1: a phase 1, randomised, open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial

Tracy J. Ruckwardt et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of the DS-Cav1 prefusion F subunit vaccine in healthy adults aged 18-50 years. Results showed that DS-Cav1 vaccination was safe, well tolerated, and induced robust and sustained neutralising activity and binding antibodies. Higher vaccine doses or a second immunisation provided a transient advantage, but did not significantly impact long-term neutralisation, indicating that a single low-dose of pre-F immunisation may confer protection throughout an entire RSV season.

Level of maternal respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) F antibodies in hospitalized children and correlates of protection

Sara A. Taleb et al.

Summary: This study investigated the levels of RSV-directed maternal antibodies in hospitalized children with RSV infection, finding that infants had neutralizing activity from maternal antibodies upon hospitalization, mostly pre-F antibodies. The maintenance of neutralizing activity in infants was greater than the maintenance of antibody binding based on ELISA, suggesting a longer half-life of high-potency antibodies.
