Analyzing the antiviral response of natural killer (NK) cells and monocytes is essential to understanding vaccine protection in an immunized population facing SARS-CoV-2 variant breakthrough infections (BTIs). In this study, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from vaccinated individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infections, we observed an increase in adaptive CD57NKG2C NK cells and classical monocytes (CMs). Single-cell sequencing analysis showed that the transcriptomic profiles of IFN-induced IFIT3 and other IFN-stimulated genes exhibited marked upregulation in NK cells, defined as CD56CD57NKG2CIFIT3 NK cells. Additionally, CM in the blood showed characteristics indicative of differentiation into dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages, which further evidenced their potential antiviral functions. Our study indicates that a vaccinated population rapidly activates an antiviral innate immune response following a BTI, thus revealing a link to the control of viral replication during SARS-CoV-2 BTIs.

Lymphotoxin β receptor (LTβR/TNFRSF3) signaling plays a crucial role in immune defense. Notably, LTβR-deficient (LTβR) mice exhibit severe defects in innate and adaptive immunity against various pathogens and succumb to infection. Here, we investigated the bone marrow (BM) and peritoneal cavity (PerC) compartments of LTβR mice during infection, demonstrating perturbed B-cell and T-cell subpopulations in the absence of LTβR signaling.

Methods: We analyzed data from 293,585 adults (18 - 65 years) retrospectively obtained from complete blood count results (using laboratory information system). The study involved a two-stage outlier exclusion process.

Sepsis often leads to unpredictable consequences. The prognosis of sepsis has not been largely improved. We tried to construct a prognostic gene model related to the 28-day mortality of sepsis to identify the risk of mortality and improve the outcome early.

The causal relationship between immune cell signatures and multiple myeloma (MM) pathobiology remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to explore the bidirectional causal associations between 731 circulating immune cell traits and MM risk using a two-sample, bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. Two-sample MR analyses were conducted utilizing genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for 731 immune cell phenotypes and MM GWAS datasets.

Introduction: Elevated peripheral blood monocyte counts (PBMC) are associated with disease progression and mortality in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, evidence for progression stems primarily from highly curated cohort studies or post-hoc analysis of clinical trials. We used real-world data to examine the association between PBMC and IPF mortality among a national cohort of Veterans with IPF.
