🩸 Researchers from @CISUoB – a PHTA anchor resident – have received £230k of translational funding from @CR_Horizons to develop a prototype for a new test to monitor people at risk of developing the blood cancer multiple myeloma 👇

Delighted to say that our manuscript has been published in Vaccine: "Time of day of vaccination does not influence antibody responses to pneumococcal and annual influenza vaccination in a cohort of healthy older adults" lnkd.in/eT4VP6nj
English
4/These findings suggest that while the timing of vaccination is not critical, further work is needed to ensure all older adults are adequately protected.
English
1/In a study of individuals over 50 years old receiving pneumococcal and annual influenza vaccines, we found that the time of vaccination (morning or afternoon) did not affect short- or long-term antibody responses.
English
3/The study also revealed that responses vary depending on the specific vaccine components, with particularly weak responses to the influenza B Victoria strain.
English
2/While most participants maintained their immune response for up to a year, 18% showed suboptimal responses, emphasizing the need for improved vaccines to protect older adults.

Fantastic meeting in Copenhagen at SSI for the 8th Network meeting for users of multiplex immune assays. Thank you @britsocimm for the travel grant that allowed me to present our Time of Day Study work. @CISUoB @AlexRichter3 @Duggal_UoB @ToeKai, Janet Lord and Mark Drayson.

#Myeloma Paper of the Day: Myeloma patients with active disease or in remission after therapy have low levels of salivary IgG and IgA antibody levels against Pneumococcus, which may further contribute to infection risk: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39244631/. #mmsm

Installation of our new dried blood spot punching machine @CISUoB ! Excited to use this for our various studies to help streamline high throughput antibody testing !

@paimadhu @immunologydoc @AlexRichter3 Thank you @paimadhu , we’re working in collaboration with governments on this as well.

📢New Correspondence: Suboptimal #measles immunity in UK healthcare workers, in @TheLancet
Cohort 1 (n=200): 3% measles IgG-, 4% equivocal
Cohort 2 (n=413): 13% IgG-, 8% equivocal
HCWs born 1998-2004 highest % IgG-, likely due to low 💉uptake

Highlighting that Mpox an ongoing global infection risk 👇We are working on diagnostics with @asherichia @sfaustini to support seroprevalence and immunogenicity studies 🧪
Tulio de Oliveira@Tuliodna
In South Africa, today, the Health Minister reported the first death due to Mpox. In addition, 5 cases are now confirmed since 8 May 2024. Suggesting that SA is experience its first large outbreak of Mpox. A summary thread on what we know on the Mpox situation in SA⬇️
