Shifting the Immune Memory Paradigm: Trained Immunity in Viral Infections

Esther J. M. Taks et al.

Summary: Trained immunity refers to the memory characteristics induced in innate immune cells after infection or vaccination, which enhances non-specific protection through epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming. Recent studies have shown that trained immunity can be induced by viruses and provide protection against heterologous viral infections.

Induction of Trained Immunity by Recombinant Vaccines

Camila Covian et al.

Summary: Vaccines play a crucial role in protecting humans from various pathogens and can induce trained immunity, providing non-specific memory against a wide range of pathogens. Recombinant BCG vaccines have shown potential in combating respiratory syncytial virus and metapneumovirus by simultaneously inducing specific adaptive immunity and non-specific trained immunity, offering broader protection against pathogenic viruses.
