چکیده

Abstract Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) is a severe, but rare, side effect of adenoviral-vectored COVID-19 vaccines. It attributed to formation autoantibodies recognizing Platelet Factor 4 (PF4) and capable triggering platelet activation, which leads thrombosis. We used mass spectrometry (MS) determine the structure VITT patient-derived anti-PF4 antibodies (VITT IgG) identified their unique properties underlying pathogenicity. The IgGs studied in this work were extracted from plasma ChAdOx1 vaccine recipient, who developed VITT. Intact-mass MS analysis these revealed one major clone, its complete structural characterization was carried out using MS-based de novo sequencing. This allowed us establish subclass (IgG2), amino acid sequence, identify an N-glycan variable region. information build 3D model IgG, presence large polyanionic patch within paratope involving four CDR regions. Molecular dynamics simulations highlight role electrostatics as driver IgG binding PF4. equatorial belt positive charge circumscribing PF4 tetramer serves distributed epitope, allowing it cross-link up three molecules, giving rise complexes FcyRIIa-mediated activation. molecular mechanism pathogenesis emerging explains how form absence heparin, essential for activation similar disease, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, sheds light on etiology devastating condition.

Coagulopathies after vaccination against SARS-CoV-2: The sole solution might lead to another problem

The common reported adverse impacts of COVID-19 vaccination include the injection site’s local reaction followed by various non-specific flu-like symptoms. Nevertheless, uncommon cases of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) following viral vector vaccines (ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine, Ad26.COV2 vaccine) have been reported. This liter...

The temporal profile of the anti-PF4/heparin immune response.

The immune response in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is puzzling: heparin-naive patients can develop IgG antibodies and clinical HIT as early as day 5, and evidence for an anamnestic response on heparin reexposure is lacking. We assessed daily serum samples by anti-PF4/heparin enzyme-immunoassay (EIA) in patients receiving heparin thromboprophylaxis. Of 435 patients, 56.1% showed an in...
