Objective Patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases receiving rituximab (RTX) therapy are at higher risk of poor COVID‐19 outcomes and show substantially impaired humoral immune response to anti–SARS–CoV‐2 vaccine. However, the complex relationship between antigen‐specific B cells T level cell repopulation necessary achieve anti‐vaccine responses remain largely unknown. Methods Antibody SARS–CoV‐2 vaccines induction CD4/CD8 subsets were studied in 19 patients rheumatoid...
To constrain the properties of first stars with chemical abundance patterns observed in metal-poor stars, one must identify any non-trivial effects that hydrodynamics metal dispersal can imprint on abundances. We use realistic cosmological hydrodynamic simulations to quantify distribution metals resulting from Population III supernova and a small number such supernovae exploding close succession. Overall, ejecta are highly inhomogeneously dispersed throughout simulations. When bubbles...
The interferon pathway, a key antiviral defense mechanism, is being considered as therapeutic target in COVID-19. Both, substitution of and JAK/STAT inhibition to limit cytokine storms have been proposed. However, little known about possible abnormalities STAT signaling immune cells during SARS-CoV-2 infection. We investigated downstream targets signaling, including STAT1, STAT2, pSTAT1 2, IRF1, 7 9 by flow cytometry 30 patients with COVID-19, 17 mild, 13 severe report upregulation STAT1...
Abstract Bone marrow plasma cells (BMPC) are the correlate of humoral immunity, consistently releasing antibodies into bloodstream. It remains unclear if BMPC reflect different activation environments or maturation their precursors. Here we define human heterogeneity and track recruitment antibody-secreting (ASC) from SARS-CoV-2 vaccine immune reactions to bone (BM). Trajectories based on single-cell transcriptomes repertoires peripheral BM ASC reveal sequential colonisation compartments. In...
Objective Altered composition of the B cell compartment in pathogenesis systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by expanded plasmablast and IgD–CD27– double‐negative populations. Previous studies showed that cells represent a heterogeneous subset, further characterization needed. Methods We analyzed 2 independent cohorts healthy donors SLE patients, using combined approach flow cytometry (for 16 28 patients) mass 18 24 targeted RNA‐Seq analysis. To compare subset formation during...
Introduction The diagnosis of Sjögren’s disease (SjD) in patients without autoantibodies against Ro/SSA is a major challenge. We aimed to identify novel SjD that may facilitate the diagnostic procedure for negative SjD. Methods IgG and IgA autoantibody reactivity 94 potential candidate autoantigens SjD, selected from discovery screen 1,629 human antigens coupled Luminex beads prior knowledge about biological relevance, were examined serum (n=347) using ELISA technology. Healthy (HC, n=118)...
Abstract Objectives Patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases receiving rituximab (RTX) therapy show substantially impaired anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine humoral but partly inducible cellular immune responses. However, the complex relationship between antigen-specific B and T cells level of cell repopulation necessary to achieve anti-vaccine responses remain largely unknown. Methods Antibody SARS-CoV-2 vaccines induction CD4/CD8 subsets were studied in 19 rheumatoid arthritis (RA)...

Autoreactive B cells and interferon (IFN) signature are hallmarks of primary sjögren's syndrome (pSS), but how IFN signaling pathways influence autoantibody production clinical manifestations remain unclear. More detailed studies hold promise for improved diagnostic methodologies personalized treatment.
Antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) contribute to immunity through production of antibodies and cytokines. Identification specific markers ASC would allow selective targeting these in several disease contexts. Here, we performed an unbiased, large-scale protein screening, identified twelve new molecules that are specifically expressed by murine ASCs. Expression markers, particularly CD39, CD81, CD130, CD326, is stable offers improved resolution for identification. We accessed their expression...
Abstract Background: Pathological complete response (pCR) is accepted by FDA as a surrogate endpoint for accelerated approval of targeted agents in combination with chemotherapy based on better long-term outcomes compared to residual disease (Cortazar 2014). Methods: The multi-center, adaptively-randomized I-SPY2 platform trial uses pCR the primary identify investigational that will improve women stage 2/3 breast cancer high risk early recurrence, across all signatures, hormone receptor...
Vaccination is considered as most efficient strategy in controlling SARS-CoV-2 pandemic spread. Nevertheless, patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases receiving rituximab (RTX) are at increased risk to fail humoral and cellular responses upon vaccination. The ability predict vaccination essential guide adequate safety optimal protection these patients.B- T- cell data before were evaluated for characteristics predicting vaccine altogether 15 RTX.
