COVID-19 vaccination induces cross-neutralisation of sarbecoviruses related to SARS-CoV-2

Grace E. West, Rebecca B. Morse, Benjamin Louis Sievers, Adam Abdullahi, Kimia Kamelian, Mark T. K. Cheng, John R. Bradley, Stephen Baker, Barbara Graves, Hannah Stark, Sabine Hein, Ingrid Scholtes, Daniela Caputo, Anne Elmer, Emma Le Gresley, , Charlotte J. Houldcroft

This study assesses cross-neutralisation of sarbecoviruses by COVID-19 vaccines in older adults, finding reduced neutralisation of Omicron variants and some animal sarbecoviruses but enhanced neutralisation of specific bat and pangolin coronaviruses.

Spatiotemporal dynamics of adoptively transferred stem-like CD8+ T cells in the tumor microenvironment following vaccination

Dalton Hermans, Sloane Christian Fussell, Andrei Ramirez-Valdez, Sam Shepard, Remi Poulard, Sonia Zumalave, Benjamin Louis Sievers, Christopher M. Garliss, Vincent L. Coble, Geoffrey M. Lynn, Andrew S. Ishizuka, Isidro Cortés‐Ciriano, Robert A. Seder

This study shows that stem-like CD8+ T cells, when used in adoptive cell therapy followed by vaccination, improve tumor control by altering the tumor microenvironment's transcriptomic profile.

Signatures of omicron-like adaptation in early SARS-CoV-2 variants and chronic infection

Mark Tsz Kin Cheng, Mazharul Altaf, Jesu Castin E, Ann‐Kathrin Reuschl, Benjamín L. Sievers, Kimia Kamelian, Dejan Mesner, Rebecca B. Morse, Adam Abdullahi, Bo Meng, Kata Csiba, Cambridge NIHR Bioresource, Steven A. Kemp, Darren Patrick Martin, Clare L. Jolly, , Ravindra K. Gupta

The paper identifies a mutation P812S in SARS-CoV-2 associated with immune evasion and upper airway adaptation, but reduced syncytia formation.
