Abstract

The Necator americanus hemoglobinase, aspartic protease-1 (Na-APR-1), facilitates the ability of adult hookworms to parasitize the intestine of their human hosts. A recombinant version of APR-1 protected laboratory animals against hookworm infection by inducing neutralizing antibodies that block the protein's enzymatic activity and thereby impair blood feeding. A catalytically inactive version of the wild-type hemoglobinase (Na-APR-1(M74)) was expressed by infiltrating Nicotiana benthamiana tobacco plants with an Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain engineered to express the vaccine antigen, which was adjuvanted with aluminum hydroxide adjuvant (Alhydrogel).An open-label dose-escalation Phase 1 clinical trial was conducted in 40 healthy, hookworm-naïve adult volunteers in the United States. Participants received 30 or 100 µg of recombinant Na-APR-1(M74) with Alhydrogel or with Alhydrogel co-administered with one of two doses (2.5 or 5.0 µg) of an aqueous formulation of Glucopyranosyl Lipid A (GLA-AF). Intramuscular injections of study vaccine were administered on days 0, 56, and 112.Na-APR-1(M74)/Alhydrogel was well-tolerated; the most frequent adverse events were mild or moderate injection site tenderness and pain, and mild or moderate nausea and headache. No serious adverse events or adverse events of special interest related to vaccination were observed. Significantly higher levels of antigen-specific IgG antibodies were induced in those who received 100 µg Na-APR-1(M74) than those who received 30 µg of antigen. Adding GLA-AF to Na-APR-1(M74)/Alhydrogel resulted in higher levels of IgG against Na-APR-1(M74) in both the 30 and 100 µg Na-APR-1(M74) groups in comparison to the non-GLA formulations at the same antigen dose.Vaccination of hookworm-naïve adults with recombinant Na-APR-1(M74) was well-tolerated, safe, and induced significant IgG responses against the vaccine antigen Na-APR-1(M74). Given these favorable results, clinical trials of this product were initiated in hookworm-endemic areas of Gabon and Brazil.

Abstract

In a randomized clinical trial, we compare early neutralizing antibody responses after boosting with bivalent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines based on either BA.1 or BA.4/BA.5 Omicron spike protein combined with wild-type spike. Responses against SARS-CoV-2 variants exhibited the greatest reduction in titers against currently circulating Omicron subvariants for both bivalent vaccines.

Abstract

Background Recombinant Schistosoma mansoni Tetraspanin-2 formulated on Alhydrogel (Sm-TSP-2/Alhydrogel) is being developed to prevent intestinal and hepatic disease caused by S. mansoni. The tegumentary Sm-TSP-2 antigen was selected based on its unique recognition by cytophilic antibodies in putatively immune individuals living in areas of ongoing S. mansoni transmission in Brazil, and preclinical studies in which vaccination with Sm-TSP-2 protected mice following infection challenge. Methods A randomized, observer-blind, controlled, Phase 1b clinical trial was conducted in 60 healthy adults living in a region of Brazil with ongoing S. mansoni transmission. In each cohort of 20 participants, 16 were randomized to receive one of two formulations of Sm-TSP-2 vaccine (adjuvanted with Alhydrogel only, or with Alhydrogel plus the Toll-like receptor-4 agonist, AP 10–701), and 4 to receive Euvax B hepatitis B vaccine. Successively higher doses of antigen (10 μg, 30 μg, and 100 μg) were administered in a dose-escalation fashion, with progression to the next dose cohort being dependent upon evaluation of 7-day safety data after all participants in the preceding cohort had received their first dose of vaccine. Each participant received 3 intramuscular injections of study product at intervals of 2 months and was followed for 12 months after the third vaccination. IgG and IgG subclass antibody responses to Sm-TSP-2 were measured by qualified indirect ELISAs at pre- and post-vaccination time points through the final study visit. Results Sm-TSP-2/Alhydrogel administered with or without AP 10-701 was well-tolerated in this population. The most common solicited adverse events were mild injection site tenderness and pain, and mild headache. No vaccine-related serious adverse events or adverse events of special interest were observed. Groups administered Sm-TSP-2/Alhydrogel with AP 10–701 had higher post-vaccination levels of antigen-specific IgG antibody. A significant dose-response relationship was seen in those administered Sm-TSP-2/Alhydrogel with AP 10–701. Peak anti-Sm-TSP-2 IgG levels were observed approximately 2 weeks following the third dose, regardless of Sm-TSP-2 formulation. IgG levels fell to low levels by Day 478 in all groups except the 100 μg with AP 10–701 group, in which 57% of subjects (4 of 7) still had IgG levels that were ≥4-fold higher than baseline. IgG subclass levels mirrored those of total IgG, with IgG1 being the predominant subclass response. Conclusions Vaccination of adults with Sm-TSP-2/Alhydrogel in an area of ongoing S. mansoni transmission was safe, minimally reactogenic, and elicited significant IgG and IgG subclass responses against the vaccine antigen. These promising results have led to initiation of a Phase 2 clinical trial of this vaccine in an endemic region of Uganda. Trial registration NCT03110757.

Abstract

BACKGROUND The use of social media assists in the distribution of COVID-19 information to the general public and health professionals. Alternative-level metrics (ie, altmetrics) and PlumX metrics are new bibliometrics that can assess how many times a scientific article has been shared and how much a scientific article has spread within social media platforms. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to characterize and compare the traditional bibliometrics (ie, citation count and impact factors) and new bibliometrics (ie, Altmetric Attention Score [AAS] and PlumX score) of the top 100 COVID-19 articles with the highest AASs. METHODS The top 100 articles with highest AASs were identified with Altmetric Explorer in May 2020. The AASs, journal names, and the number of mentions in various social media databases of each article were collected. Citation counts and PlumX Field-Weighted Citation Impact scores were collected from the Scopus database. Additionally, AASs, PlumX scores, and citation counts were log-transformed and adjusted by +1 for linear regression, and Spearman correlation coefficients were used to determine correlations. RESULTS The median AAS, PlumX score, and citation count were 4922.50, 37.92, and 24.00, respectively. The New England Journal of Medicine published the most articles (18/100, 18%). The highest number of mentions (985,429/1,022,975, 96.3%) were found on Twitter, making it the most frequently used social media platform. A positive correlation was observed between AAS and citation count (r2=0.0973; P=.002), and between PlumX score and citation count (r2=0.8911; P CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that citation count weakly correlated with AASs and strongly correlated with PlumX scores, with regard to COVID-19 articles at this point in time. Altmetric and PlumX metrics should be used to complement traditional citation counts when assessing the dissemination and impact of a COVID-19 article.

Abstract

In this paper a promising way to improve the material characteristics of virgin PLA for technical applications, e. g. profile extrusion, is described. Thereby PLA is combined with other biopolymers such as cellulose esters and different functional additives to create new biobased blend systems. To verify the improved properties of the new materials several mechanical (tensile test, Charpy impact test), thermal (heat deflection temperature) and dimension accuracy tests have been performed. Furthermore a case study shows that the developed PLA materials are suitable to be processed on standard profile extrusion equipment to produce profiles with a good surface geometrical accuracy and quality.

Abstract

Biopolymers such as Polylacticacid (PLA) by politicians and the press are often referred as the materials of the future. However, this overlooks the fact that the material properties of many biopolymers are not yet equal to those of conventional industrial polymers. For this reason, their use is currently limited to the packaging and medical sectors. Unmodified PLA has relatively low heat and impact resistance, which is insufficient for most technical applications. The aim of this work is to improve the characteristics of PLA by optimizing the crystallization properties through the addition of novel nucleating agents (twin-screw compounding). The assessment is carried out using DSC analysis and the resulting calculated thermodynamic parameters. Subsequently chosen compounds are selected for measuring mechanical properties. The methods used for measuring these properties are tensile tests, the Charpy impact test, and the measurement of the heat deflection temperature (HDT). The results show that sorbitol is the most effective nucleating agent for the nucleation of PLA 4032D, with regard to the optimization of the heat resistance and toughness of the material. However the best crystallization rates from the melt can only be achieved by the further addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a plasticizer. The combined influence of sorbitol and PEG in PLA 4032D, can improve the impact properties by more than 500 % to a value of 131.3 kJ/m2 (reference sample 21.8 kJ/m2) and the heat resistance by about 20 % to 65.9 °C (reference sample 54.0 °C).

Abstract

Hookworm infection caused by the soil-transmitted nematodes Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale is one of the most common parasitic infections worldwide. Although not directly responsible for substantial mortality, it causes significant morbidity in the form of chronic anemia and protein malnutrition. Current global control efforts based on periodic mass anthelmintic administration are unsustainable, and new control strategies must be developed. This review describes progress in the development of vaccines against hookworm infection, including the preclinical and initial clinical testing of the N. americanus Ancylostoma Secreted Protein-2 Hookworm Vaccine. Plans call for eventual development of a vaccine that will combine at least 2 hookworm antigens--one targeting the larval stage of the life cycle and another targeting the adult worm living in the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract

The COBAS AMPLICOR CT/NG test is widely used for the diagnosis of Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection using genital swabs or urine samples. Although highly specific, cross-reactivity occurs with some nonpathogenic strains of Neisseria and Lactobacillus species. In low-prevalence populations, even highly specific assays may require confirmatory testing of positive results. We assessed the positive predictive value (PPV) of this test in a low-prevalence (0.5%) setting. Genital and urine specimens testing positive using the COBAS AMPLICOR NG test were retested using an investigational 16S rRNA PCR assay. Additionally, 737 specimens were tested in parallel by both culture and the above PCR protocol. Of 9,772 specimens tested in-house, 168 were positive by the AMPLICOR test; in addition, 62 AMPLICOR-positive specimens were referred to our laboratory for confirmatory testing, yielding 230 positive specimens. Of these, 72 were confirmed positive by 16S rRNA PCR, yielding a specificity of 98.7% and a PPV of 31.3%. Specificity was similar for all specimen types, whereas PPV varied with prevalence: specimens from males, females, urine specimens, and genital swabs had PPVs of 70.8, 13.3, 51.9, and 20.1%, respectively. The PPV was higher when the initial AMPLICOR optical density (OD) was ≥3.5 versus initial and repeat OD readings in an equivocal zone of ≥0.2 to P < 0.001). On repeat testing of specimens with ODs in the equivocal zone, 54 gave ODs of ≥0.2 and P = 0.004). Comparing PCR to culture as the “gold standard,” specificity increased from 96.8 to 99.9% when 16S rRNA PCR was performed on specimens positive by the COBAS AMPLICOR NG test. Confirmatory testing with a more specific method such as 16S rRNA PCR should be considered in low-prevalence populations, especially for specimens with an OD in the equivocal zone.

Abstract

In this paper two promising ways to improve the material characteristics of PLA and PHB-V are presented by showing their positive effects on mechanical, optical, and thermal properties. The optimization is achieved by increasing the crystallization from the melt of the polymer chains and the other by means of a reinforcement of the matrices by bio-based materials. In the case of crystallization specific nucleating agents and optimized process parameters promote optimized crystallization conditions and lead particularly in toughness to significant improvements. In addition to crystallization the introduction of cellulose-based reinforcing materials is also a good alternative to improve the ductility of a biopolymer matrix considerably. Due to their polar surface structure cellulose fibres are favouring a very good interaction to the also polar biopolymers. In addition, the polar surfaces of both materials results in very homogeneous dispersion within the compound.
