Passive antibody transfer from pregnant women to their fetus are maximized after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination irrespective of prior infection. THE JOURNAL OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY.

Abstract
Background Pregnancy is associated with a higher risk of adverse symptoms and outcomes for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection for both mother and neonate. Antibodies can provide protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection and are induced in pregnant women after vaccination or infection. Passive transfer of these antibodies from mother to fetus in utero may provide protection to the neonate against infection. However, it is unclear whether the magnitude or quality and kinetics of maternally derived fetal antibodies differs in the context of maternal infection or vaccination. Objective We aimed to determine whether antibodies transferred from maternal to fetus differed in quality or quantity between infection- or vaccination-induced humoral immune responses. Methods We evaluated 93 paired maternal and neonatal umbilical cord blood plasma samples collected between October 2020 and February 2022 from a birth cohort of pregnant women from New Orleans, Louisiana, with histories of SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or vaccination. Plasma was profiled for the levels of spike-specific antibodies and induction of antiviral humoral immune functions, including neutralization and Fc-mediated innate immune effector functions. Responses were compared between 4 groups according to maternal infection and vaccination. Results We found that SARS-CoV-2 vaccination or infection during pregnancy increased the levels of antiviral antibodies compared to naive subjects. Vaccinated mothers and cord samples had the highest anti-spike antibody levels and antiviral function independent of the time of vaccination during pregnancy. Conclusions These results show that the most effective passive transfer of functional antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in utero is achieved through vaccination, highlighting the importance of vaccination in pregnant women.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, leads to various manifestations of the post-COVID syndrome, including diabetes, heart and kidney disease, thrombosis, neurological and autoimmune diseases and, therefore, remains, so far, a significant public health problem. In addition, SARS-CoV-2 infection can lead to the hyperproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing adverse effects on oxygen transfer efficiency, iron homeostasis, and erythrocytes deformation, contributing to thrombus formation. In this work, the relative catalase activity of the serum IgGs of patients recovered from COVID-19, healthy volunteers vaccinated with Sputnik V, vaccinated with Sputnik V after recovering from COVID-19, and conditionally healthy donors were analyzed for the first time. Previous reports show that along with canonical antioxidant enzymes, the antibodies of mammals with superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and catalase activities are involved in controlling reactive oxygen species levels. We here show that the IgGs from patients who recovered from COVID-19 had the highest catalase activity, and this was statistically significantly higher each compared to the healthy donors (1.9-fold), healthy volunteers vaccinated with Sputnik V (1.4-fold), and patients vaccinated after recovering from COVID-19 (2.1-fold). These data indicate that COVID-19 infection may stimulate the production of antibodies that degrade hydrogen peroxide, which is harmful at elevated concentrations.

Abstract
As shown in many studies, one of the earliest statistically significant indicators of the development of many autoimmune diseases (ADs) is the appearance in the blood of antibodies with catalytic activities (abzymes) hydrolyzing different autoantigens. Antibodies-abzymes having different enzymatic activities are a specific and essential feature of some ADs. Most abzymes are harmful to humans. Free histones in the blood are damage-associated proteins, and their administration to animals drives systemic inflammatory and toxic effects. Myelin basic protein (MBP) is the most critical component of the axon myelin-proteolipid sheath. Hydrolysis of MBP by abzymes leads to the disruption of nerve impulses. Here, we analyzed the possible pathways for the formation of unusual antibodies and abzymes that exhibit polyspecificity in recognition during complex formation with partially related antigens and possess the ability to catalyze several different reactions for the first time. Using IgGs of HIV-infected and multiple sclerosis patients against five individual histones (H1–H4), MBP, and DNA, it was first shown that abzymes against each of these antigens effectively recognize and hydrolyze all three antigens: histones, MBP, and DNA. The data obtained indicate that the formation of such polyspecific abzymes, whose single active center can recognize different substrates and catalyze several reactions, can occur in two main ways. They can be antibodies against DNA–protein complex hybrid antigenic determinants containing proteins and nucleic sequences. Their formation may also be associated with the previously described phenomenon of IgG extensive LH half-molecule (containing one L-light and one H-heavy chains) exchange leading to H2L2 molecules containing HL halves with variable fragments recognizing different antigens.

Abstract
Though hundreds of thousands of papers are currently being published on HIV/AIDS, only tens of hundreds of them are devoted to the antibodies generated during the disease. Most of these papers discuss antibodies in HIV/AIDS as a diagnostic tool, and some articles describe neutralizing antibodies as a promising treatment. In this paper, we used affinity chromatography and ELISA to isolate natural IgG from the blood of 26 HIV-infected patients. IgG preparations were separated into the subfractions containing different types of light chains, and catalytic activities of subfractions were analyzed. Here, we show for the first time that the blood of HIV patients contains ~20% of bispecific κλ-IgG, presented with all IgG subclasses. Analysis of DNA-hydrolyzing and amylolytic activity show that most IgG preparations and subfractions are catalytically active. Our results expand the possible biological functions of natural IgG in HIV infection.

Abstract
An all fiber-optic immunosensor based on elliptical core helical intermediate-period fiber grating (E-HIPFG) is proposed for the specific detection of human immunoglobulin G (human IgG). E-HIPFGs are all-fiber transducers that do not include any additional coating materials or fiber architectures, simplifying the fabrication process and promising the stability of the E-HIPFG biosensor. For human IgG recognition, the surface of an E-HIPFG is functionalized by goat anti-human IgG. The functionalized E-HIPFG is tested by human IgG solutions with a concentration range of 10-100 μg/mL and shows a high sensitivity of 0.018 nm/(μg/mL) and a limit of detection (LOD) of 4.7 μg/mL. Notably, the functionalized E-HIPFG biosensor is found to be insensitive to environmental disturbances, with a temperature sensitivity of 2.6 pm/°C, a strain sensitivity of 1.2 pm/με, and a torsion sensitivity of -23.566 nm/(rad/mm). The results demonstrate the considerable properties of the immunosensor, with high resistance to environmental perturbations, indicating significant potential for applications in mobile biosensors and compact devices.

Abstract
During pregnancy the formation of alloreactive anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies are a major cause of acute rejection in organ transplantation and of adverse effects in blood transfusion. The purpose of the study was to identify maternal HLA class Ib genetic factors associated with anti-HLA allo-immunization in pregnancy and the degree of tolerance estimated by IgG4 expression. In total, 86 primiparous women with singleton pregnancies were included in the study. Maternal blood samples and umbilical cord samples were collected at delivery. Clinical data were obtained. Maternal blood serum was screened for HLA class I and II antibodies, identification of Donor Specific Antibody (DSA), activation of complement measured by C1q and IgG4 concentrations. Mothers were genotyped for HLA class Ib (HLA-E, -F and -G). Anti-HLA class I and II antibodies were identified in 24% of the women. The maternal HLA-E*01:06 allele was significantly associated with a higher fraction of anti-HLA I immunization (20.0% vs. 4.8%, p = 0.048). The maternal HLA-G 3’-untranslated region UTR4-HLA-G*01:01:01:05 haplotype and the HLA-F*01:03:01 allele were significantly associated with a low anti-HLA I C1q activation (16.7% vs. 57.1%, p = 0.028; 16.7% vs. 50.0%, p = 0.046; respectively). Both HLA‑G and HLA-F*01:03:01 showed significantly higher levels of IgG4 compared with the other haplotypes. The results support an association of certain HLA class Ib alleles with allo-immunization during pregnancy. Further studies are needed to elucidate the roles of HLA-E*01:06, HLA-F*01:03 and HLA‑G UTR4 in reducing the risk for allo-immunization.

Abstract
Immunoglobulins are known to combine various effector mechanisms of the adaptive and the innate immune system. Classical immunoglobulin functions are associated with antigen recognition and the initiation of innate immune responses. However, in addition to classical functions, antibodies exhibit a variety of non-canonical functions related to the destruction of various pathogens due to catalytic activity and cofactor effects, the action of antibodies as agonists/antagonists of various receptors, the control of bacterial diversity of the intestine, etc. Canonical and non-canonical functions reflect the extreme human antibody repertoire and the variety of antibody types generated in the organism: antigen-specific, natural, polyreactive, broadly neutralizing, homophilic, bispecific and catalytic. The therapeutic effects of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) are associated with both the canonical and non-canonical functions of antibodies. In this review, catalytic antibodies will be considered in more detail, since their formation is associated with inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. We will systematically summarize the diversity of catalytic antibodies in normal and pathological conditions. Translational perspectives of knowledge about natural antibodies for IVIg therapy will be also discussed.

Abstract
During a pregnancy, the mother accepts her semi-allogeneic fetus with no signs of immunological rejection. Therefore, some modulation of the maternal immune system must occur. Similarly, changes in the host's immune system occurs during infections with parasites. In a study conducted in an endemic area in Bolivia, it has been reported that women infected with either the helminthic parasite roundworm or hookworm were estimated to give birth to either two more, or three fewer, children than uninfected, endemic women, respectively. Immune regulation by helminthic parasites is a rather well-researched concept, but there are few reports on the effects on human fecundity. The current review focuses on mechanisms of possible importance for especially the increased fertility rates in women infected with roundworm. The host immune response to roundworm has been hypothesized to be more favourable for a successful pregnancy because it bears resemblance to the anti-inflammatory immunological responses observed in pregnancy, steering the immunological response away from a pro-inflammatory state that seem to suppress fecundity. Further research into parasitic worm interactions, fertility, and the molecular mechanisms that they unfold may widen our understanding of the immunomodulatory pathways in both helminthic infections and in fertility and pregnancy.

Abstract
It is well documented that age-related impaired functioning of immunocompetent cells is associated with an increase in the rates of chronic inflammatory diseases. Recently, an ability of melatonin to modulate inflammatory processes by regulating leucocyte recruitment has been demonstrated. However, to date, no studies have attempted to determine the impact of melatonin on the expression of CD62L by lymphocytes. CD62L, also known as L-selectin, is required for the entry of lymphocytes into secondary lymphoid organs, sites of tumor growth and chronic inflammation through high endothelial venules. Here, we investigated the effect of melatonin at physiological concentrations on the expression of CD62L by T and NK cells in vivo and in vitro. We demonstrated that NK and CD3+ T cells obtained from the spleen of aged mice were characterized by decreased expression of CD62L compared to young mice. Melatonin administration up-regulated the levels of surface CD62L on NK and T cell populations in aged mice under non-inflammatory conditions and on CD8+ T cells in aged mice with chronic inflammation. Pre-incubation with melatonin prevented the reduction in CD62L expression by CD8+ T cells induced by the co-cultivation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line (MiaPaCa-2). The obtained results suggest that melatonin can modulate lymphocyte homing into lymph nodes and sites of chronic inflammation and, therefore, can stimulate immune responses in chronic inflammatory conditions associated with aging.

Abstract
Due to the increase in the number of infliximab products, the need for global harmonization of the bioactivity of this monoclonal antibody was recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO). In response, the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) developed the first international standard (IS) for infliximab, which targets tumour necrosis factor (TNF). Each ampoule is assigned values of 500 IU of TNF neutralizing activity and 500 IU of binding activity. Two preparations of infliximab were formulated and lyophilized at NIBSC prior to evaluation in a collaborative study for their suitability to serve as an IS for the in vitro biological activity of infliximab. The study involved participants using in vitro cell-based bioassays (TNF neutralization, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity) and binding assays. The results of this study showed that the candidate preparation, coded 16/170, is suitable as an IS for infliximab bioactivity. This infliximab IS from NIBSC, is intended to support in vitro bioassay calibration and validation by defining international units of bioactivity. The proposed unitages, however, are not intended to revise product labelling or dosing requirements, as any decisions regarding this relies solely with the regulatory authorities. Furthermore, the infliximab IS is not intended for determining the specific activity of products, nor to serve any regulatory role in defining biosimilarity. We briefly discuss the future use of WHO international standards in supporting the global harmonisation of biosimilar infliximab products.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Since during pregnancy and lactation women tend to develop autoimmune processes, characterization of placenta immunoglobulins and their possible catalytic functions is a very important step towards understanding the function of placenta. METHODS ELISA, affinity chromatography, SDS-PAGE and MALDI mass spectrometry were used. RESULTS It was shown, that ten placentas contain in average 1.1 ± 0.33 mg IgGs/g of placenta and 0.11 ± 0.1 mЕ anti-DNA antibodies/g of placenta. All ten individual IgG preparations were characterized by a specific ratio and various combinations of heavy (47.5-51.7 kDa) and light (22.2-33.3 kDa) chains with different molecular masses. All intact IgGs demonstrate DNase but have not amylase activity. Several strict criteria have been used to show that the DNase activity is an intrinsic property of placenta IgGs. The heavy chains of antibodies were catalytically inactive. The light chains of 22-24 kDa of all IgGs demonstrated maximal DNase activity, while the chains of approximately 25-33.2 kDa were significantly less active. IgGs were completely inactive after dialysis against EDTA. The optimal external cofactors of placenta DNase abzymes are Mg2+ and Cu2+ ions, while, activity in the presence of Mn2+ and Ca2+ is approximately 3-4-fold lower. Activation of DNase abzymes by Cu2+ ions was revealed for the first time. Placental antibodies possess selective cytotoxicity against cancer cells. CONCLUSION It was shown previously, that appearance of serum DNase abzymes is the good indicator of the beginning and obvious spontaneous or induced autoimmune diseases. The detection of placenta DNase antibodies indicates that during pregnancy, autoimmune processes can affect this organ.

Abstract
Antibodies (Abs) containing two different antigen-binding sites in one molecule are called bispecific. Bispecific Abs (BsAbs) were first described in the 1960s, the first monoclonal BsAbs were generated in the 1980s by hybridoma technology, and the first article describing the therapeutic use of BsAbs was published in 1992, but the number of papers devoted to BsAbs has increased significantly in the last 10 years. Particular interest in BsAbs is due to their therapeutic use. In the last decade, two BsAbs - catumaxomab in 2009 and blinatumomab in 2014, were approved for therapeutic use. Papers published in recent years have been devoted to various methods of BsAb generation by genetic engineering and chemical conjugation, and describe preclinical and clinical trials of these drugs in a variety of diseases. This review considers diverse BsAb-production methods, describes features of therapeutic BsAbs approved for medical use, and summarizes the prospects of practical application of promising new BsAbs.
