Growing evidence suggests that the interindividual variation in vaccine responses may be due to differences in the gut microbiota. Mouse and human studies have shown that antibiotic exposure can impair antibody responses to certain vaccines. Here, Ryan et al. report the results of a prospective clinical study of immune responses to vaccination after early-life antibiotic exposure using a systems vaccinology approach.

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a common form of glomerulonephritis. Its pathogenesis has been linked to aberrant O-glycosylation of the IgA1 hinge region, which is thought to underlie the formation of IgA1-containing immune complexes that deposit in glomeruli. New insights suggest that IgA O-glycosylation may also affect additional processes, including mucosal immunity and B cell homing to mucosal and non-mucosal lymphoid tissues.
