Immunization with mRNA-LNP Elicits De Novo IgG Responses in the Presence of Maternal Antibody

Background/Objectives: Maternal antibodies can inhibit vaccine-specific humoral responses in early life, leaving infants at increased risk for severe disease for vaccine-preventable infections. In the case of SARS-CoV-2, infants under the age of 3 months represented most child ho...

Commensal bacteria inhibit viral infections via a tryptophan metabolite

Clinical outcomes following viral exposures exhibit substantial interindividual variability. Although developing evidence suggests commensal bacteria modulate viral infections, the specific bacteria and mechanisms remain underexplored. Here, we define a pathway by which viral inf...
