    Abstract Vaccination with CD1d-binding glycolipid adjuvants and co-administered protein, lipid, and carbohydrate antigens leads to invariant natural killer T (NKT) cell-dependent enhancement of protective B cell responses. NKT cell activation boosts the establishment of protein antigen-specific B cell memory and long-lived plasma cell (LLPC) compartments. NKT cells may exert a similar effect on some carbohydrate-specific B cells, but not lipid-specific B cells. The mechanisms of action of NKT cells on B cell responsiveness and subsequent differentiation into memory B cells and LLPC is dependent on CD1d expression by dendritic cells and B cells that can co-present glycolipids on CD1d and antigen-derived peptide on MHCII. CD1d/glycolipid-activated NKT cells are able to provide help to B cells in a manner dependent on cognate and non-cognate interactions. More recently, a glycolipid-expanded subset of IL-21-secreting NKT cells known as NKT follicular helper cells has been suggested to be a driver of NKT-enhanced humoral immunity. This review summarizes established and recent findings on how NKT cells impact humoral immunity and suggests possible areas of investigation that may allow the incorporation of NKT-activating agents into vaccine adjuvant platforms.

    Abstract The AANS/CNS Section on Tumors was founded 40 years ago in 1984 to assist in the education of neurosurgeons interested in neuro-oncology, and serves as a resource for other national organizations regarding the clinical treatment of nervous system tumors. The Section on Tumors was the first national physicians' professional organization dedicated to the study and treatment of patients with brain and spine tumors. Over the past 40 years, the Section on Tumors has built solid foundations, including establishing the tumor section satellite meetings, founding the Journal of Neuro-Oncology (the first medical journal dedicated to brain and spine surgical oncology), advancing surgical neuro-oncology education and research, promoting neurosurgical involvement in neuro-oncology clinical trials, and advocating for patients with brain and spine tumors. This review provides a synopsis of the Section on Tumors' history, its challenges, and its opportunities, drawing on the section's archives and input from the 17 section chairs who led it during its first 40 years.

    Abstract Immunogenic cell death (ICD) arises when cells are under stress, and their membranes are damaged. They release damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that stimulate and drive the type and magnitude of the immune response. In the presence of an antigen, DAMPs ride the longevity and efficacy of antigen-specific immunity. Yet, no tool can induce the controlled ICD with predictable results. A peptide-based tool, [II], is designed that aggregates in the cell and causes cell membrane damage, generates ICD and DAMPs release on various cell types, and hence can act as an adjuvant. An influenza vaccine is prepared by combining [II] with influenza hemagglutinin (HA) subunit antigens. The results show that [II] induced significantly higher HA-specific immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) and IgG2a antibodies than HA-only immunized mice, while the peptide itself did not elicit antibodies. This paper demonstrates the first peptide-aggregation induced immunogenic rupture (PAIIR) approach as a vaccine adjuvant. PAIIR is a promising adjuvant with a high potential to promote universal protection upon influenza HA vaccination.

    Abstract It was reported over a decade previously that CD1d-restricted Natural Killer T (NKT) cells could interact with CD1d-expressing B cells and facilitate antibody secretion. Since then, several studies have observed that NKT cells can provide B-cell help for production of antibody against model and pathogen-derived glycolipids, carbohydrates and proteins. In regard to T cell-dependent protein antigens, it is still not entirely clear to what extent cognate interactions between CD1d-expressing B cells and NKT cells contribute to initial and long-lived B-cell responses that are characteristic of such antigens. In this editorial, we review evidence that NKT cells provide CD1d-dependent cognate and non-cognate forms of B-cell help following immunization with protein antigen. Elucidating these mechanisms will be important for harnessing NKT cells during vaccination.

    Abstract The pathology associated with Clostridioides difficile disease is caused in large part by TcdB, an intracellular bacterial toxin that inactivates small GTPases. Despite C. difficile causing enteric disease, antitoxin IgG is a clear correlate of protection against infection-associated pathology. Immunization with TcdB-based immunogens or passive transfer of monoclonal antibodies specific for the TcdB carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) confers protection following C. difficile infection. Whether the mechanism by which circulating IgG is delivered to the gut depends on specific receptor-mediated transport or is solely reflective of infection-induced damage to the gut remains unclear. Here, we tested the hypothesis that neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is required for the delivery of systemic TcdB-specific IgG to the gut and protection against C. difficile-associated pathology. FcRn-expressing mice and FcRn-deficient littermates were immunized subcutaneously with Alhydrogel adjuvant-adsorbed CTD before challenge with live C. difficile spores. FcRn was required for the delivery of systemic TcdB-specific IgG to the gut and for vaccine-induced protection against C. difficile-associated disease. The lack of FcRn expression had minimal effects on the composition of the gut microbiome and did not affect susceptibility to C. difficile infection in nonimmunized mice. In further experiments, intraperitoneal injection of immune sera in FcRn-deficient mice led to the transport of protective IgG to the gut independently of infection, confirming a reported method of bypassing the FcRn. Our results reveal an FcRn-dependent mechanism by which systemic immunization-induced IgG protects the gut during enteric C. difficile infection. These findings may be beneficial for the targeting of C. difficile-specific IgG to the gut.
