    Abstract Most investigations on the immune cell-activating potency of IgA used purified total IgA and/or specific isolated cell populations. As IgA2 has been reported to be more pro-inflammatory than IgA1, we aimed to employ a fast and convenient whole blood-based assay to individually probe the capacity of the two IgA subclasses to activate immune cells in close physiological conditions. To this end, whole blood from healthy donors (

    Abstract Despite introduction of biological disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) for Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment, therapeutic strategies do not always lead to disease control and remission. Hence, a more efficient patient stratification and monitoring biomarkers and tools are needed to enable a more personalized medicine. We used a whole blood based functional flow cytometry assay to characterize immune cells from RA patients (treated or not), healthy donors and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients according to their responses to LPS and/or anti-TNFα (infliximab, IFX). Activation marker expression was measured using a 10-color flow cytometry panel following a no-wash protocol. Naïve-to-treatment RA patients had a stronger inflammatory profile in comparison to healthy donors at basal level. Higher expression of activation markers (CD69 and/or CD11b) on NK, B cells and granulocytes and lower expression of the adhesion molecule CD62L were measured on monocytes, granulocytes and B cells. After LPS, naïve RA patients' cells were less capable of regulating CD69, CD11b, CD16 or CD62L showing impaired activation capabilities. Upon LPS and IFX co-incubation, hierarchical clustering analysis showed different profiles between cohorts. We believe that this whole blood-based approach should further be assessed for RA patient characterization as it provides new perspectives for stratification and/or monitoring.

    Abstract A strong bias related to age is observed in COVID-19 patients with pediatric subjects developing a milder disease than adults. We hypothesized that a specific SARS-CoV-2 effect conjugated with preexisting differences in the immune systems may explain this. Using flow cytometry, we investigated basal immune differences in a cohort consisting of 16 non-infected young and 16 aged individuals and further leveraged an in vitro whole blood model of SARS-CoV-2 infection so that functional differences could be mined as well. In short, blood diluted in culture media was incubated 5 or 24 h with the trimeric spike protein or controls. Following unsupervised analysis, we first confirmed that the immune lymphoid and myeloid systems in adults are less efficient and prone to develop higher inflammation than those in children. We notably identified in adults a higher CD43 lymphocyte expression, known for its potentially inhibitory role. The spike protein induced different responses between adults and children, notably a higher increase of inflammatory markers together with lower monocyte and B cell activation in adults. Interestingly, CD169, a CD43 ligand overexpressed in COVID-19 patients, was confirmed to be strongly modulated by the spike protein. In conclusion, the spike protein exacerbated the preexisting lower immune responsiveness and higher inflammatory potential in adults. Altogether, some of the markers identified may explain the marked age bias and be predictive of severity.
