Yellow fever vaccination provides long-lasting protection and is a unique model for studying the immune response to an acute RNA virus infection in humans. To elucidate the early innate immune events preceding the rapid generation of protective immunity, we performed transcriptome analysis of human blood dendritic cell (DC) and monocyte subpopulations before and 3, 7, 14, and 28 d after vaccination. We detected temporary upregulation of IFN-stimulated genes (ISG) in all DC and monocyte subsets on days 3 and 7 after vaccination as well as cell type-specific responses and response kinetics. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed rapid appearance of activated DC and monocyte clusters dominated by ISGs, inflammatory chemokines, and genes involved in antigen processing and presentation. This was confirmed by flow cytometric analysis in a large cohort of vaccinees. We identified SIGLEC1/CD169 upregulation as a sensitive indicator of the transient IFN-induced activation state elicited in DCs and monocytes by YF17D vaccination correlating with early protective IgM antibody responses.
黄热病疫苗接种可提供持久的保护,是研究人类对急性RNA病毒感染的免疫反应的独特模型。为了阐明在快速产生保护性免疫之前的早期先天性免疫事件,我们对接种疫苗前以及接种后3、7、14和28天的人血树突状细胞(DC)和单核细胞亚群进行了转录组分析。我们在接种疫苗后第3天和第7天检测到所有DC和单核细胞亚群中IFN刺激基因(ISG)的暂时上调,以及细胞类型特异性反应和反应动力学。单细胞RNA测序揭示了由ISG、炎性趋化因子以及参与抗原加工和呈递的基因主导的活化DC和单核细胞簇的快速出现。这在一大群疫苗接种者中通过流式细胞术分析得到了证实。我们确定SIGLEC1/CD169上调是YF17D疫苗接种在DC和单核细胞中引发的短暂IFN诱导活化状态的敏感指标,与早期保护性IgM抗体反应相关。
