MF59- AND AL(OH)3-ADJUVANTED STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (4C-STAPH) VACCINES INDUCE SUSTAINED PROTECTIVE HUMORAL AND CELLULAR IMMUNE RESPONSES, WITH A CRITICAL ROLE FOR EFFECTOR CD4 T CELLS AT LOW ANTIBODY TITERS.

MF59- and Al(OH)3-adjuvanted Staphylococcus aureus (4C-Staph) vaccines induce sustained protective humoral and cellular immune responses, with a critical role for effector CD4 T cells at low antibody titers.

Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) is an important opportunistic pathogen that may cause invasive life-threatening infections like sepsis and pneumonia.Due to increasing antibiotic-resistance, the development of an effective vaccine against S.aureus is needed.Although a correlate of protection against staphylococcal diseases is not yet established, s

The low-dose CHK1 inhibitor prexasertib triggers VDAC1 dephosphorylation to activate mtDNA-STING signaling and synergize immunotherapy

Summary: CHK1 inhibitors exhibit dose-limiting toxicity despite potent tumor cytotoxicity in clinical trials.Here, we reveal that low-dose prexasertib induces mtDNA damage by impairing repair machinery, triggering Chicken cytosolic mtDNA release via VDAC1 to activate STING-mediated innate immunity.Mechanistically, prexasertib blocks CHK1 phosphoryl
