Combinatorial multimer staining and spectral flow cytometry facilitate quantification and characterization of polysaccharide-specific B cell immunity

D. Hoving, A. H. C. Marques, W. Huisman, B. A. Nosoh, A. C. de Kroon, O. R. J. van Hengel, B. R. Wu, P. M. van Helden, B. C. Urban, N. Dhar, D. M. Ferreira, G. Kwatra, C. H. Hokke, S. P. Jochems

This study develops a high-throughput method to analyze polysaccharide-specific B cells using combinatorial multimer staining and spectral flow cytometry, revealing associations with serotype specificity, vaccination history, and geographic origin.

Long-term respiratory mucosal immune memory to SARS-CoV-2 after infection and vaccination

E. Mitsi, M. O. Diniz, J. Reine, A. M. Collins, R. Robinson, A. Hyder-Wright, M. Farrar, K. Liatsikos, J. Hamilton, O. Onyema, B. C. Urban, C. Solorzano, T. Lambe, S. J. Draper, D. Weiskopf, , D. M. Ferreira

This study shows that hybrid immunity from infection plus vaccination generates durable lung mucosal immunity, while peripheral vaccination alone does not.

Epithelial micro-invasion by Streptococcus pneumoniae induces epithelial-derived innate immunity during colonisation at the human mucosal surface

C. M. Weight, C. Venturini, S. Pojar, S. Jochems, J. Reine, E. Nikolaou, C. Solorzano, M. Noursadeghi, J. S. Brown, D. M. Ferreira, R. S. Heyderman

This study shows that Streptococcus pneumoniae colonizes human mucosa via microinvasion, triggering epithelial innate immunity and influencing bacterial clearance.

Dynamic changes in innate immune and T cell function and composition at the nasal mucosa across the human lifespan

J. Reine, B. F. Carniel, C. Solorzano, E. Mitsi, S. Pojar, E. Nikolau, E. L. German, A. D. Hyder-Wright, H. Hill, C. Hales, L. Brown, V. Horsley, L. Hughes, S. Zaidi, V. Connor, , S. P. Jochems

This study examines age-related changes in nasal mucosal immune composition and function, finding reduced granulocytes and T cells in young children and older adults, and links pneumococcal colonization to inflammation.

Minimally-invasive nasal sampling in children offers accurate pneumococcal colonization detection

E. Nikolaou, A. Blizard, S. Pojar, E. Mitsi, E. L. German, J. Reine, H. Hill, P. S. McNamara, A. M. Collins, D. M. Ferreira, S. P. Jochems

This study shows that nasal lining fluid filter strips provide equal pneumococcal detection sensitivity to deep nasopharyngeal swabs in children, offering a less unpleasant alternative.
