Until recently, immune responses in filovirus survivors remained poorly understood. Early studies revealed IgM and IgG responses to infection with various filoviruses, but recent outbreaks have greatly expanded our understanding of filovirus immune responses. Immune responses in survivors of Ebola virus (EBOV) and Sudan virus (SUDV) infections have provided the most insight, with T cell responses as well as detailed antibody responses having been characterized. Immune responses to Marburg virus (MARV), however, remain almost entirely uncharacterized. We report that immune responses in MARV survivors share characteristics with EBOV and SUDV infections but have some distinct differences. MARV survivors developed multivariate CD4+ T cell responses but limited CD8+ T cell responses, more in keeping with SUDV survivors than EBOV survivors. In stark contrast to SUDV survivors, rare neutralizing antibody responses in MARV survivors diminished rapidly after the outbreak. These results warrant serious consideration for any vaccine or therapeutic that seeks to be broadly protective, as different filoviruses may require different immune responses to achieve immunity.

mRNA based vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 have shown exceptional clinical efficacy providing robust protection against severe disease. However, our understanding of transcriptional and repertoire changes following full vaccination remains incomplete. We used single-cell RNA sequencing and functional assays to compare humoral and cellular responses to two doses of mRNA vaccine with responses observed in convalescent individuals with asymptomatic disease. Our analyses revealed enrichment of spike-specific B cells, activated CD4 T cells, and robust antigen-specific polyfunctional CD4 T cell responses in all vaccinees. On the other hand, CD8 T cell responses were both weak and variable. Interestingly, clonally expanded CD8 T cells were observed in every vaccinee, as observed following natural infection. TCR gene usage, however, was variable, reflecting the diversity of repertoires and MHC polymorphism in the human population. Natural infection induced expansion of larger CD8 T cell clones occupied distinct clusters, likely due to the recognition of a broader set of viral epitopes presented by the virus not seen in the mRNA vaccine. Our study highlights a coordinated adaptive immune response where early CD4 T cell responses facilitate the development of the B cell response and substantial expansion of effector CD8 T cells, together capable of contributing to future recall responses.

Abstract Introduction: The bone marrow (BM) is a site of induction of tumour antigen specific T cell responses in many malignancies. We have demonstrated in the BM of myeloma patients high frequencies of spontaneously generated CD8 memory T cells with specificity for the myeloma-associated antigen MUC1, which were not detectable in the peripheral blood (PB). Besides MUC1, carcinoembryonic antigen was recently identified as a tumour-associated antigen in a patient with multiple myeloma. Up to now, spontaneous CD4 T cell responses against myeloma-associated antigens have not been reported. We undertook this study to evaluate to what extent spontaneous CD4 T cell responses against myeloma antigens occur during myeloma progression and if MUC1 or carcinoembryonic antigen represent immunogenic targets of spontaneous CD4 and CD8 T cell responses. Methods: Altogether, 78 patients with multiple myeloma were included into the study. Presence of functionally competent antigen specific T cells was evaluated by ex vivo short term (40 h) IFN-γ Elispot analyses. CD4 T cell responses against MUC1 were assessed by stimulation of purified CD4 T cell fractions with antigen pulsed, autologous dendritic cells (DCs) pulsed with two synthetic 100 meric polypeptides (pp1-100ss and (137–157)5 tr) that can be processed and presented via multiple HLA-II alleles. CD4- or CD8 T cell reactivity against carcinoembryonic antigen was assessed on purified CD4- and CD8 T cell fractions by pulsing DCs with highly purified CEA derived from culture supernatants of an epithelial carcinoma cell line. CD8 responses against MUC1 were analyzed by stimulation of HLA-A2+ patients derived purified T cells with DCs loaded with HLA-A2 restricted MUC1-derived nonameric peptide LLLLTVLTV. As negative control antigen for MUC1 polypeptides and CEA human IgG was used for pulsing DCs at identical concentrations while HLA-A2-restricted peptide SLYNTVATL derived from HIV was used as control antigen for LLLLTVLTV. Test antigen specific reactivity was defined by significantly increased numbers of IFN-γ spots in triplicate test wells compared to control wells (p<0.05, students T test). Results: 8 out of 19 tested patients (42%) contained MUC1 specific CD8 T cells in their bone marrow, while MUC1 specific CD4 T cells were detected in the BM of 30% of the cases (3/10). Interestingly, in peripheral blood (PB) CD8 reactivity against MUC1 was detectable in only 1 out of 10 patients while CD4 reactivity in PB was not detectable at all (0/10). CEA was specifically recognized by BM CD8 T cells from 5 out of 30 patients (17%) and by BM CD4 T cells from 5 out of 18 patients (28%). CEA was not recognized by CD4 and CD8 T cells in the PB of the same patients (0/13). Conclusion: Spontaneous T helper responses against tumour-associated antigens occur in the BM at similar levels as antigen specific CD8 T cells responses while they are virtually undetectable in the PB. Compared to CEA, MUC1 induces CD8 T cell responses in a much higher proportion of myeloma patients. Nevertheless, our data suggest that CEA may trigger spontaneous T cell responses against multiple myeloma in a considerable number of patients. Thus, systematic functional analyses of this potential tumour antigen in multiple myeloma appears to be justified.
