Expression of Toll-like Receptors on the Immune Cells in Patients with Common Variable Immune Deficiency after Different Schemes of Influenza Vaccination.

BACKGROUND

for the first time, the effect of one and two doses of adjuvanted influenza vaccines on toll-like receptors (TLRs) in patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) was studied and compared (primary vaccination with one vs. two doses, primary vs. repeated vaccination).

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

Six patients received one dose of quadrivalent adjuvanted influenza vaccine during the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 influenza seasons, and nine patients with CVID received two doses of trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine during 2019-2020. Expression of TLRs was measured by flow cytometry.

RESULTS

The expression of toll-like receptors in patients with CVID was noted both with repeated (annual) administration of the influenza vaccine and in most cases was accompanied by an increase in the proportion of granulocytes (TLR3 and TLR9), lymphocytes (TLR3 and TLR8), and monocytes (TLR3 and TLR9). When carried out for the first time as a simultaneous vaccination with two doses it was accompanied by an increase in the proportion of granulocytes, lymphocytes expressing TLR9, and on monocytes-TLR3 and TLR9.

CONCLUSION

in CVID patients, the use of adjuvanted vaccines is promising, and research on the influence of the innate immunity and more effective regimens should be continued.
