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.

Apicomplexan parasites are attenuated by low-energy electron irradiation in an automated microfluidic system and protect against infection with Toxoplasma gondii

Julia Finkensieper et al.

Summary: Radiation-attenuated intracellular parasites are potential immunization strategies, and low-energy electron irradiation (LEEI) is evaluated as a method for generating replication-deficient Toxoplasma gondii and Cryptosporidium parvum. LEEI-treated parasites invade host cells but are unable to replicate, and antibody-based analysis shows no structural damage. Immunization of mice with LEEI-attenuated T. gondii induces high levels of antibodies and provides protection against acute infection, suggesting LEEI is a useful technology for developing anti-parasitic vaccines.

Summary: Recent events have brought attention to vaccination strategies amidst the global coronavirus pandemic. Mucosal immunization, although lagging in implementation, offers several advantages such as localized infection protection and induction of long-term immunity. This review highlights the potential benefits of mucosal immunity, explores barriers to its implementation, examines immune mechanisms, and discusses recent developments in mucosal vaccination.

Low-Energy Electron Irradiation of Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Provides a Protective Inactivated Vaccine

Julia Finkensieper et al.

Summary: Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a zoonotic flavivirus that can cause severe neurological complications in humans. Traditional methods of producing TBEV vaccines using formaldehyde have drawbacks, and this study suggests that low-energy electron irradiation (LEEI) could be an alternative method. Immunizing mice with LEEI-inactivated TBEV resulted in higher levels of antibodies and complete protection against viral challenge.

Investigations Into the Suitability of Bacterial Suspensions as Biological Indicators for Low-Energy Electron Irradiation

Simone Schopf et al.

Summary: Low-energy electron irradiation is an emerging alternative technology for pathogen inactivation in medical, biotechnological, and pharmaceutical applications. However, there is a lack of precise dose monitoring systems for low-energy irradiation processes in liquids or suspensions. In this study, three bacterial species were evaluated as biological dose indicators, and their inactivation kinetics and growth behavior were studied under low-energy accelerated electron irradiation.

An Overview of Vaccine Adjuvants: Current Evidence and Future Perspectives

Alessio Facciola et al.

Summary: Vaccines are crucial in preventing infectious diseases, and adjuvants play a key role in enhancing vaccine efficacy. Recent research has focused on developing new compounds with effective adjuvant properties and improved safety. Modern technologies like nanotechnologies and molecular biology have improved vaccine production by enhancing both antigen and adjuvant components. Microparticles, emulsions, and immune stimulators are being explored for their potential in vaccine production. While vaccine adjuvants may have potential side effects, the significant value of vaccines cannot be denied, particularly in managing future pandemics. Research into adjuvants could play a leading role in producing more effective vaccines.

A Recombinant MVA-Based RSV Vaccine Induces T-Cell and Antibody Responses That Cooperate in the Protection Against RSV Infection

Kathrin Endt et al.

Summary: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a respiratory disease that poses a potential fatality risk to infants and elderly individuals. Despite previous failed attempts, researchers have developed an RSV vaccine using recombinant Modified Vaccinia Virus Ankara-BN (MVA-RSV), which has shown promising results in clinical trials. This study demonstrates that the MVA-RSV vaccine provides optimal protection against RSV infection by activating multiple components of the adaptive immune system, including CD4 and CD8 T cells and antibodies such as IgA.

Mucosal vaccines - fortifying the frontiers

Ed C. Lavelle et al.

Summary: Mucosal vaccines have the potential to prevent infections and protect against disease development by inducing adaptive immunity at mucosal sites. However, most current mucosal vaccines consist of live attenuated and inactivated whole-cell preparations, and there is a need for safe and effective mucosal adjuvants and innovative antigen discovery and delivery strategies to advance these vaccines. Advancements in understanding innate and adaptive mucosal immunity, including mucosal antigen-presenting cells and resident memory cells, provide valuable insights to inform mucosal adjuvant design for pathogens like SARS-CoV-2 and cancer.
