BACKGROUND
IL-6 inhibitors have been associated with reduced mortality in severe COVID-19 in randomized clinical trials, but the comprehensive immunological impact of IL-6 blockade in the setting of an acute viral infection is poorly understood.
METHODS
To gain insight into the systemic immune response to IL-6 inhibi...

Pharmacologic immunosuppression is essential for preventing organ rejection and controlling autoimmunity, but profoundly impairs humoral immunity, increasing the risk of vaccine failure and infection. The mechanisms by which immunosuppressive therapies disrupt human B cell responses remain poorly defined. Here, we iden...

The results emphasize the importance of conserved and cross-reactive responses in vaccine immunogenicity, providing a mechanism through which repeated boosting enhances vaccine immunogenicity in SOTRs and other immunocompromised populations.
