    Abstract Here, we describe a protocol for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The protocol was developed with a keen focus on optimizing several key parameters, including antigen coating concentration, antibody and sample dilutions, and assay development time. The final protocol features the following characteristics:•The capability to detect SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific IgG in both plasma and serum samples.•A streamlined procedure that requires only 1 hour and 20 minutes of hands-on time.•Reliable assay performance, with a remarkable sensitivity of 98.1 % and specificity of 99.5 %.

    Abstract A global outbreak of predominantly sexually transmitted mpox infections, outside endemic regions, was reported in May 2022. Thereafter, risk groups were vaccinated against smallpox, a structurally related orthopoxvirus. In the current study, we analyzed T cell responses against peptides derived from orthopoxviruses in 33 HIV-positive patients after two vaccinations against smallpox and in 10 patients after mpox infection. We established an ELISpot assay, detecting either the secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interferon (IFN)-γ or interleukin (IL)-2. After vaccination, 21 out of 33 patients (64%) showed specific IFN-γ secretion and 18 (55%) specific IL-2 secretion, defined as >3-fold higher specific value than negative control and at least 4 spots above the negative control. After mpox infection, all patients showed specific IFN-γ secretion and 7 out of 10 (70%) IL-2 secretion. In vaccinated patients, IFN-γ responses were significantly lower than in patients with mpox infection (median response 4.5 vs. 21.0 spots,

    Abstract Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients have a high risk of developing primary varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection and reactivation. VZV vaccination may prevent infection and reactivation. In the current study, recipients of allogeneic HSCT (34 females, 45 males) were vaccinated with adjuvanted, recombinant zoster vaccine Shingrix™, which contains the VZV glycoprotein E. Cellular immunity against various VZV antigens was analyzed by interferon-gamma ELISpot. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of recipients with versus without prior shingles (n = 36 and n = 43, respectively) showed approximately twofold higher VZV-specific responses prior to and post vaccination. After the first and second vaccination, ELISpot responses towards the glycoprotein E were significantly higher in males versus females (median of spots increment 18 versus 1 and 17 versus 4, respectively, p ≤ 0.02 each). Multivariate analysis showed that shingles and sex both impacts significantly on VZV immunity. Whereas vaccination-induced changes could hardly be detected after stimulation with a whole VZV antigen, there was a significant increase in responses towards glycoprotein E after vaccination (p < 0.005). These data indicate that vaccination with Shingrix™ augmented cellular, VZV-specific immunity in HSCT recipients. Shingles and male sex could both be identified as factors leading to increased immunity.

    Abstract In patients with liver malignancies, the cellular immune function was impaired in vitro after selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT). Because immunosuppression varied substantially, in the current study, we investigated in 25 SIRT patients followed up for ten years whether the lymphocyte function was correlated with survival.

    Abstract The BK virus (BKV) causes severe hemorrhagic cystitis in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. To eliminate reactivated BKV, symptomatic patients can be treated with a reduction of the immunosuppressive therapy, with the antiviral drug cidofovir, or with virus-specific T cells (VSTs). In the current study, we compared the effect of VSTs to other treatment options, following up specific T cells using interferon-gamma ELISpot assay. We observed BKV large T-specific cellular responses in 12 out of 17 HSCT recipients with BKV-related cystitis (71%). In recipients treated with VSTs, 6 out of 7 showed specific T-cell responses, and that number in those without VSTs was 6 out of 10. In comparison, 27 out of 50 healthy controls (54%) responded. In HSCT recipients treated for BKV-related cystitis, absolute CD4+ T-cell numbers and renal function correlated with BKV-specific cellular responses (
