Our paper exploring effects of solid tumor malignancy-associated inflammation upon COVID-19 vaccine-induced antibodies is live! We show that while dysregulated inflammation impairs neutralization, variant cross-reactive Fc effector functions remain robust. nature.com/articles/s4154…

And of course, none of this would have been possible without the input from a hugely collaborative, interstate clinical team and the support of many scientists and clinicians @TheDohertyInst @BiologyANU

We found that inflammatory biomarkers (incl. cytokines, agalactosylated IgG, and atypical B cells) were elevated in solid tumor patients and were negatively correlated with neutralizing antibody responses, but not with antibodies against conserved epitopes or with Fc functions.

Nice work by Lauren Burmas, our former honours/RA and the team @viralvaxlab looking at the impact of varying your prime-boost vaccine site.

1/ Hot off the press in @J_Immunol. We investigated how same side (ipsilateral) vs alternate side (contralateral) prime-boost vaccination impacts germinal center (GC) dynamics & antibody responses against SARS-CoV-2 spike in mice.💉🦠#immunology #vaccines @TheDohertyInst

Affinity maturation happens outside of the GC? 🤯* * Well, kinda... PB/PCs leave the GC and expand proportional to their affinity. Massive kudos to the legendary Andrew MacLean and the rest of the @NussenzweigL team. Check out the pre-print here. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🧵 1/N How often should I get a #COVID19 booster vaccine? Our new article published in @NatureComms estimates benefit of different frequencies of COVID vaccines against severe disease by risk group (age, immunocompromised status). Check it out here! nature.com/articles/s4146…

We love antibodies 😍 Until they cause spicy experimental artefacts 😳 Stay safe and validate your antibody detectors thoroughly 😅
Clinical & Translational Immunology@ClinTransImmuno

Genetic variations in Immunoglobulin G can impact antibody assessment, with certain clones showing preference for specific IgG variants, potentially leading to misinterpretation of responses @ASImmunology @WileyGlobal onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ct…

Check out this great work by @EbeneRHaycroft and co. looking at antibody glycosylation in the humoral response to SIV-TB coinfection in 🐒👇
Clinical & Translational Immunology@ClinTransImmuno

Haycroft et al examined humoral response to SIV-𝘔𝘺𝘤𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘵𝘶𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘴 coinfection using cynomolgus macaque and concluded that antibody glycosylation correlates with TB disease progression. @ASImmunology @WileyGlobal onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

How do #mucosal antibodies respond after #vaccination or #covid breakthrough infection? 🤔 Do previous exposures shape future #humoral responses? Our work is finally out as twin publications in @JCI_insight and @ImmunolCellBiol Short🧵to follow 😉
Doherty Institute@TheDohertyInst

New research shows mucosal surfaces in eyes, nose, mouth and throat are crucial to the first line of defence against upper respiratory infections, like #COVID19. Published in @JCI_insight @ImmunolCellBiol doherty.edu.au/news-events/ne… @UniMelbMDHS @TheRMH @Kev_in_Science

🥳 So happy to share my first, first-coauthored paper is finally out! 🥳 What did we do! Well, we looked at 1) #antibody immunity to #SARSCoV2 variants after #vaccination and 2) natural ACE2 polymorphism on affinity to #RBD! A nice summary of key take homes linked below 🦠 1/2
I Am Dr. Sam 👩‍🔬@SamanthaKDavis1

Another piece of work from my phd and from @EbeneRHaycroft masters thesis is finally out! Read it here 👇 key points are broken down in this 🧵 #COVID19 #phdlife #Researchpaper #Antibodies link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Can future vaccines be "personalised"? 🤔 Do different populations benefit from different vaccine formulas? 👶🏼🧓👩🏽 What infectious diseases are reduced by functional antibodies? 🧪🧬 Find out all that and more in @RuthAmyPurcell 's jam-packed review on vaccines & antibodies 🎉

6/n: By understanding the mechanisms of altered antibody responses in immunocompromised individuals, we may be able to tailor vaccination strategies to selectively boost impaired immune features and enhance protection.

5/n: Immunocompromised populations have characteristic Fc modifications. For example, specific Fc glycosylation patterns are associated with altered levels of inflammation. However, certain vaccination strategies can also drive distinct changes to Fc effector function profiles 🤔
