Study on the immunogenicity of monkeypox virus messenger ribonucleic acid-based vaccine candidates biorxivpreprint Monkeypox MonkeypoxVirus Vaccine
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaNov 28 2022Reviewed by Aimee Molineux In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers developed two monkeypox virus quadrivalent messenger ribonucleic acid vaccines, mRNA-A-lipid nanoparticle and mRNA-B-LNP.
About the study In the present study, researchers developed IMV-specific and EEV-specific quadrivalent mRNA-based mRNA-A-LNP vaccine and the mRNA-B-LNP vaccine against MPXV that generated potent immunoglobulin G titers and vaccinia virus -neutralizing antibodies. Modified mRNA sequences were synthesized, capped, and purified. Further, the efficacy and immunogenicity of the two vaccine candidates were evaluated in BALB/c-type mice immunized with the vaccines twice intramuscularly. Subsequently, serum samples were obtained from the mice on day ten and day 24 of their initial immunization for humoral immunity assessments.
Results The vaccine candidates induced potent anti-MPXV IgG titers and anti-VACV neutralizing antibody titers in mice with the generation of durable anti-MPXV killer memory T-lymphocyte and memory B-lymphocyte immune responses in the animals. The passive serological transfer of sera from mice immunized with the two vaccines protected nude mice against VACV. Further, double-dose vaccinations of the two vaccine candidates also protected against VACV in BALB/c mice.

Monkeypox vaccine modeling study provides road map for vaccinationA modeling study to explore optimal allocation of vaccines against monkeypox virus (MPXV) provides a road map for public health to maximize the impact of a limited supply of vaccines. The article, published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal), confirms that prioritizing vaccines to larger networks with more initial infections and greater potential for spread is best.

Use of antibiotics and risk of type 2 diabetes, overweight and obesity: the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study and the national FINRISK study - BMC Endocrine DisordersPurpose To investigate whether exposure to systemic antibiotics influences the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and overweight/obesity. Methods The study sample comprised 2209 (110 with incident diabetes) participants from the population-based Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study (YFS) aged 24–39 years in 2001. The exposure was national linked register data on purchased antibiotic courses between 1993 and 2001. Clinical examinations including BMI were conducted in 2001, 2007 and 2011. Participants with prevalent diabetes in 2001 were excluded. Data on type 2 diabetes was also obtained from two national registers until 2017. Data from four population-based National FINRISK studies were used for replication (N = 24,674, 1866 with incident diabetes). Results Prior antibiotic exposure (| 5 versus 0–1 antibiotic courses) was associated with subsequent type 2 diabetes in both YFS (OR 2.29; 95%CI 1.33–3.96) and FINRISK (HR 1.73; 95%CI 1.51–1.99). An increased risk for type 2 diabetes was observed in YFS (OR 1.043; 95%CI 1.013–1.074) and FINRISK (HR 1.022; 95%CI 1.016–1.029) per course. Exposure to antibiotics increased the risk of overweight/obesity (BMI | 25 kg/m2) after a 10-year follow-up in YFS (OR 1.043; 95%CI 1.019–1.068) and in FINRISK (OR 1.023; 95%CI 1.018–1.029) at baseline per antibiotic course. Adjustments for confounders from early life in YFS and at baseline in FINRISK, including BMI, socioeconomic status, smoking, insulin, blood pressure, and physical activity, did not appreciably alter the findings. Conclusion Our results show that exposure to antibiotics was associated with increased risk for future type 2 diabetes and overweight/obesity and support judicious antibiotic prescribing.
