Anti-SARS-CoV-2 serology based on ancestral RBD antigens does not correlate with the presence of neutralizing antibodies against Omicron variants by Léa Dépéry, Isabelle Bally, Axelle Amen, Benjamin Némoz, Marlyse Buisson, Laurence Grossi, Aurélie Truffot, Raphaële Germi, Delphine Guilligay, Mélanie Veloso, Antoine Vilotitch, Olivier Epaulard, Patrice Morand, Winfried Weissenhorn, Pascal Poignard, Julien Lupo

“…However, in the Omicron era, as new viruses evade the immunity induced by previous infections and vaccination, the correlation between binding antibody levels determined by serological assays developed from ancestral antigens and neutralizing antibody titers against new viruses should be re-examined in order to determine whether these assays should be optimized by adapting antigens to the circulating SARS-CoV-2 strains.…”

Mycophenolate mofetil: an update on its mechanism of action and effect on lymphoid tissue by Anna Krawczyk, Bernard Kravčenia, Tomasz Maślanka

“…The study demonstrated the following actions of the drug: (a) proapoptotic action on effector CD4+ and CD8+ T (Teff) cells, and B cells; (b) the down-regulation or prevention of activation-induced expression of CD25 on CD4+ and CD8+ Teff cells; (c) the generation of Foxp3+CD25+CD4+ and Foxp3+CD25+CD8+ T cells resulting in the shift of the Treg cell/activated Teff cell balance toward an increased proportion of Treg cells.ConclusionThe depletive effect of MMF on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and B cells in lymphoid tissues should be taken into account when assessing the benefit-risk ratio of using MMF in patients with microbial infections and undergoing vaccination. The study contributed new insight into this mechanism, indicating that MMF effectively prevents the proliferation of T and B cells, but may be less effective against already proliferating cells. …”
