GSE173361 Gut IgA Enhances Systemic IgG Responses to Pneumococcal Vaccines Through the Commensal Microbiota
Contributors : Cindy Gutzeit ; Emilie K Grasset ; Paul J Maglione ; Lewis Tomalin ; Mayte Suarez-Farina ; Andrea CeruttiSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusWe set up to characterize the global transcriptome of splenic follicular (FO) B cells from control wild type (Wt) and Igha-deficient (IgAKO) mice with the aim of gaining new insights into how translocated gut antigens may impair IgG production to vaccines in the absence of IgA. Splenic Marginal zone (MZ) B cells were also included in this study, as IgA deficiency impaired IgG responses to T-independent immunogens as...

Adoption rates of recommended vaccines and influencing factors among patients with inflammatory arthritis: a patient survey
AbstractTo determine the scope of recommended vaccination uptake among patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) receiving biologic and targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic agents (bDMARDs and tsDMARDs, respectively) and to determine factors, which influence their decision and are subject to modification. A single-center, cross-sectional study was conducted including patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), or ankylosing spondylitis (AS) on bDMARDs or tsDMARDs. Demographic, anthropometric, and clinical parameters were analyzed. Disease activity was determined using the validated ind...

Beneficial effects of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic with regard to the uptake of influenza virus, pneumococcal, and herpes zoster adult vaccination - a narrative literature review
Ann Agric Environ Med. 2023 Dec 22;30(4):587-594. doi: 10.26444/aaem/176747. Epub 2023 Dec 20.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Analysis of factors influencing COVID-19 vaccination coverage in various countries raised the question whether the recent pandemic affected the vaccination rates of other pathogens in adults. Therefore, the aim of this review article was to analyse the literature to find potentially beneficial effects of the introduction of the large-scale vaccinations resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, with regard to the influenza virus, pneumococcal and herpes zoster adult vaccinations, in order to identify...
