Despite decades of research on RSV, many immune mechanisms remain to be explored. A full exploration of these immune responses can contribute to the discovery of new therapeutic and prophylactic approaches. Despite significant advancements in vaccine development and monoclonal antibody research, effective therapeutic options remain limited. This review focuses on how the immune system reacts when children contract the respiratory syncytial virus.

Understanding the complicated immune response to RSV infection is essential for developing effective interventions and vaccine developments.

Numerous pathogens have been implicated as causing BRDC, including the recently discovered influenza D virus (IDV) [&lt;span&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;]. IDV has been found to be highly enzootic in cattle across multiple continents [&lt;span&gt;1, 2&lt;/span&gt;], and there is some evidence of spillover to livestock workers [&lt;span&gt;3, 4&lt;/span&gt;].

Given the occupational threats of both IDV and IAV H5N1, we sought to assess the dynamics of antibodies to IAV H5N1 and IDV in farm workers and cattle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As part of our One Health surveillance initiative in the United States and Mexico [&lt;span&gt;6, 8&lt;/span&gt;], between April 2024 and May 2025 we enrolled a total of seven dairy and beef cattle farms in Indiana (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 1), Kentucky (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 3), and Texas (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 2) (Table 1). Our visits to these farms took place on four separate occasions, permitting us to prospectively follow the farms. We obtained informed consent from every farm worker who participated in the study. Based on availability, we collected 5 to 10 mL of blood from both the cattle and the farm workers through venipuncture using a plain vacutainer tube (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). After collection, the blood samples were centrifuged at 600 &lt;i&gt;g&lt;/i&gt; for 15 min, and the serum was harvested and stored in microtubes at −20°C. Throughout the four visits, we collected 270 serum samples, which comprised 142 samples from cattle and 128 samples from farm workers (Table 1). Ethical approval for the study was granted by the University of Texas Medical Branch's Institutional Review Board (23-0085).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To determine the presence of neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) against IAV-H5 and IDV in both the cattle and farm workers sera, we conducted microneutralization (MN) assays. Briefly, serum samples were treated overnight (18–20 h) with Receptor Destroying Enzyme II (RDE; Denka Seiken, Tokyo, Japan) according to the manufacturer's instructions. This treatment was necessary to eliminate nonspecific inhibitors that could interfere with the assay. Starting with a dilution of 1:20 to 1:2560 RDE-treated sera, we used a recombinant H5N1 virus (rg-A/bald eagle/Florida/W22-134-OP/2022 of clade 2.3.4.4b) and a bovine-origin IDV strain (D/Bovine/Kansas/1-35/2010) on a monolayer of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK; ATCC cat. no.

Assessing serological protection against influenza has relied upon haemagglutinin inhibition (HAI) assays, which are used to gauge existing immune landscapes, seasonal vaccine decisions and in systems vaccinology studies. HAI assays were first described in the 1940s. Here, we adapt our high-throughput live virus microneutralisation (LV-N) assay for SARS-CoV-2, benchmark against HAI assays, and report serological vaccine responsiveness in a cohort of older (&gt; 65 yo) community dwelling adults.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Influenza-specific antibody responses were assessed in 73 individuals, before and after receipt of the adjuvanted 2021–22 Northern Hemisphere quadrivalent vaccine. We performed both HAI and LV-N assays against all four viruses represented in the vaccine [A/Cambodia/e0826360/2020 (H3N2), IVR-215 (A/Victoria/2570/2019-like) (H1N1)pdm09, B/Phuket/3073/2013 (B/Yamagata lineage), B/Washington/02/2019 (B/Victoria lineage)], using sera drawn before vaccination [range: d-82 to d-5], and days 7 [d6–10] and 181 [d156–200] after vaccination. We compared serological responses within each assay and between assays.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Both the traditional HAI assay and our high-throughput live virus microneutralisation identified vaccine-induced boosts in antibody titres. We found population-level concordance between the two assays (Spearman's correlation coefficient range 0.49–0.88; all <i>p</i> ≤ 1.4 × 10⁻⁵). The improved granularity of microneutralisation was better able to estimate fold changes of responses and quantify the inhibitory effect of pre-existing antibody.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Our high-throughput method offers an alternative approach to assess influenza-specific serological responses with improved resolution, with the potential to improve the annual assessment of existing antibody landscapes, to improve new vaccine strain evaluation, and to offer a step-change in systems vaccinology, and a facet of laboratory-based pandemic preparedness.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":13544,"journal":{"name":"Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses","volume":"19 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/irv.70140","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144843666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
