Secretory IgA and T Cells Targeting SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Are Transferred to...
Gonçalves, J; Juliano, AM; Charepe, N; Alenquer, M; Athayde, D; Ferreira, F; Archer, M; Amorim, MJ; Serrano, F; Soares, HIn view of the scarcity of data to guide decision making, we evaluated how BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 vaccines affect the immune response in lactating women and the protective profile of breastmilk. Compared with controls, lactating women had a higher frequency of circulating RBD memory B cells and higher anti-RBD antibody titers but similar neutralizing capacity. We show that upon vaccination, immune transfer to b...
COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine and Antibody Response in Lactating Women: a Prospective C...
Charepe, N; Gonçalves, J; Juliano, AM; Lopes, D; Canhão, H; Soares, H; Serrano, FBackground: Immunological protection via breastfeeding is well known. The immunological profile of human milk changes during lactation. No clinical trials have been conducted in lactating women with the newest mRNA vaccines against SARS- CoV-2. A Few studies have shown the presence of antibodies in breastmilk after vaccination. The aim of this work is to study possible antibodies transfer via breastmilk and als...
