Novel Einstein-developed strategy successfully suppresses HIV infections in mice

Armed with a novel strategy they developed for bolstering the body's immune response, scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine have successfully suppressed HIV infections in mice - offering a path to a functional cure for HIV and other chronic viral infections.

CAR-T cell treatment's efficacy in hematological malignancies predicted by epigenetics

One in five cancers affects blood cells and lymph nodes, causing leukemias and lymphomas, respectively. Although their treatment with drugs has led to a great advance in their cure, there are cases where there is no clinical response or resistance to them is generated.

Children show lower seroconversion rates than adults with mild COVID-19

A new study finds that following mild COVID-19, children are more likely to remain seronegative than adults, irrespective of the viral load or symptom severity.

New findings may help widen therapeutic interventions for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

A retrospective study led by Northwestern Medicine investigators found that the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell immunotherapy drug tisagenlecleucel demonstrated safety and efficacy in pediatric patients with relapsed and refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-cell ALL), even when the drug doesn't meet the FDA's strict manufacturing standards.

Many people's T-cells recognize the same components of SARS-CoV-2

A new study published on the bioRxiv* preprint aimed to identify highly immunoprevalent CD8 T-cell epitopes specific to SARS-CoV-2 that are confirmed to be endogenously processed and presented on frequently expressed HLA alleles.

18 Oct 2021

Study assesses T-cell responses directed against highly conserved regions of SARS-CoV-2

The study aimed to assess whether highly conserved regions within coronaviruses harbor CD8+ T-cell epitopes, capable of being cross-recognized between different coronaviruses.

Phase 1 open-label trial shows SARS-CoV-2 DNA vaccine induces durable immune response

The efficacy and safety of a DNA-based vaccine are investigated, finding that the unique vaccine imparts a robust and long-lasting immunogenic response.

Study detects the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in semen along with low sperm count

A new study reported findings of semen analysis from a prospective COVID-19 cohort study.

Study reveals a detrimental role of the immune system in Lewy body dementias

T-cells respond to buildups of alpha-synuclein, the aggregated protein clumps that are a feature of neurodegenerative diseases including dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease (PD), according to a Northwestern Medicine study published in Science.

SARS-CoV-2 induces tissue immune memory

A new study reports that the SARS-CoV-2 induces protective tissue memory that includes both humoral and cellular elements to protect specific tissue sites.

Study shows how tissue-derived T cells can damage other organs in stem cell transplant patients

More than 40,000 allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants are carried out worldwide every year, mostly for patients suffering from leukemia or other diseases of the hematopoietic system.

COVID-19 vaccination induces transient increase in cellular and antibody responses to S1 antigenic sequence

Scientists have characterized T-cell, B-cell, and IgG responses to S antigenic sequences to evaluate vaccine effectiveness.

13 Oct 2021

How long does natural immunity produced by SARS-CoV-2 infection last?

A new study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server followed the adaptive immune response in convalescent patients from Swedish and Italian cohorts—which had earlier shown long-lasting adaptive immune responses to the G614 strain—for 15 months. Here, specific antibody levels and neutralizing antibody titers were tested against variants of concern (VOCs).

Rapid measurement of SARS-CoV-2 spike T-cells

Researchers measure SARS-CoV-2 T-cell responses in individuals vaccinated or in those who developed immunity from a prior natural infection.

SARS-CoV-2 immune responses in nursing home residents after full vaccination with Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine

A new study assesses antibody and functional T-cell responses at 6 months after complete vaccination with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.

Deadly subtype of T-cell lymphoma harbors unique mutations

An especially deadly subtype of T-cell lymphoma is distinguished by unique mutations in a specific protein signaling pathway, according to a study published in the journal Blood.

Critical function of IL-7 in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of COVID-19 patients

In this review, researchers summarized the therapeutic and pathogenic role of IL-7 in patients with COVID-19 and examined the promising role of IL-7 as a vaccine adjuvant.

SARS-CoV-2 evolution promoted by long-term infection in patient with B cell depletion

A new study published on the medRxiv* preprint server focused on a patient with a persistent symptomatic viral infection for over a year. Researchers amplified sub-genomic transcripts for the E gene (sgE) using nasopharyngeal samples of the patient infected with SARS-CoV-2 over the course of 335 days.

Novel proteomics approach predicts severe COVID-19 outcomes

Researchers in the United States, Canada, and the UK have developed a potential new approach to predicting severe and critical outcomes among patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

6 Oct 2021

Durability of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 reinfection

The current study used data on the durability of immunity among evolutionarily close coronavirus relatives of SARS-CoV-2 to estimate times to reinfection.
