Abstract

Significance: We explored the effect of nontraditional vaccine dosing profiles on antibody titers of vaccines and discovered that certain dosing profiles demonstrate >10-fold higher antibody production than the traditional single-dose prime–boost method. We also present a computational model that captures the experimental results and provides a mechanistic understanding of the biology behind the effectiveness of our strategy. This work has clinical significance in vaccine design because it is a simple method to increase the efficacy of subunit vaccines, which may lead to the development of efficacious vaccines for diseases such as HIV.

  • Sustained antigen availability during the germinal centre reaction has been shown to increase antibody production by approximately tenfold.

    “Sustained antigen availability during the germinal centre reaction has been shown to increase antibody production by approximately tenfold199.”
  • An mRNA vaccine that achieves high and sustained antigen availability will benefit the magnitude and duration of both T cell and B cell responses.

    “Nevertheless, it can be expected that an mRNA vaccine that achieves high and sustained antigen availability, will benefit the magnitude and duration of both T cell and B cell responses [11,[189][190][191].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
