Spatiotemporal development of the human T follicular helper cell response to Influenza vaccination

S. Schattgen, J. S. Turner, M. A. Ghonim, J. C. Crawford, A. J. Schmitz, H. Kim, J. Q. Zhou, W. Awad, W. Kim, K. M. McIntire, A. Haile, M. K. Klebert, T. Suessen, W. D. Middleton, S. A. Teefey, , P. Thomas

This study tracks the spatiotemporal dynamics of human T follicular helper (TFH) cells after influenza vaccination, showing clonal expansion, phenotypic changes, and lineage-specific responses over two years.

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron boosting induces de novo B cell response in humans

W. B. Alsoussi, S. K. Malladi, J. Q. Zhou, Z. Liu, B. Ying, W. Kim, A. J. Schmitz, T. Lei, S. C. Horvath, A. J. Sturtz, K. M. McIntire, B. Evavold, F. Han, S. M. Scheaffer, I. F. Fox, , A. H. Ellebedy

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 boosting induces GC B cell responses and that Omicron-based vaccines can elicit novel epitope-specific antibodies despite antigenic imprinting.

Germinal centre-driven maturation of B cell response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination

W. Kim, J. Q. Zhou, A. J. Sturtz, S. C. Horvath, A. J. Schmitz, T. Lei, E. Kalaidina, M. Thapa, W. B. Al Soussi, A. Haile, M. K. Klebert, T. Suessen, L. Parra-Rodriguez, P. A. Mudd, W. D. Middleton, , A. H. Ellebedy

This study tracks the maturation of B cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, showing that memory B cells and bone marrow plasma cells accumulate somatic hypermutations over time, enhancing antibody avidity.

Increased complement activation is a distinctive feature of severe SARS-CoV-2 infection.

L. Ma, S. K. Sahu, M. Cano, V. Kuppuswamy, J. Bajwa, J. McPhatter, A. B. Pine, M. M. Meizlish, G. Goshua, C. H. Chang, H. Zhang, C. Price, P. Bahel, H. M. Rinder, T. Lei, , H. S. Kulkarni

The paper shows that complement activation is higher in severe SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to influenza and non-COVID respiratory failure, with the alternative pathway linked to worse outcomes.

CARD8 inflammasome mediates pyroptosis of HIV-1-infected cells by sensing viral protease activity

Q. Wang, H. Gao, K. M. Clark, P. Tang, G. H. Harlan, S. B. Kutluay, C. J. DeSelm, R. M. Presti, L. Shan

This study identifies CARD8 as a sensor of HIV-1 protease activity, triggering pyroptosis of infected cells and clearing latent HIV-1 in CD4+ T cells.
