@mrmickme @RolandBakerIII Is there any benefit to IgG3 class switch induced by Novavax?

@mrmickme @APazyryk @RolandBakerIII Forgive me for my lack of clarity and therefore question Does this indicate a risk for developing auto-immune disorders from nvx booster?

@notquitegonzo @mrmickme @APazyryk Antibodies against IL-4, IL-13 receptors& tumor necrosis factor circumvent the class switch to IgG4 with mRNA vaccines. Clearly this is specific to mRNA vax and not ad vector and protein sub-unit vax. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.09.29.23296354v1

@notquitegonzo @mrmickme @APazyryk No these IgG4 antibodies are specific to the viral spike and don't cause autoimmune disease. The causal connection to IgG4-RD is that you first get an autoimmune disease and the class switch to IgG4 that binds "self" is to prevent damage caused by autoimmune disease.

@RolandBakerIII @notquitegonzo @mrmickme @APazyryk Could these anti spike IgG4 trigger an immune reaction to the tissues where the spikeproteins are incorporated?

@a_kruschke @notquitegonzo @mrmickme @APazyryk Do you mean like where SARS2 spikes are budding from mRNA vaccine or adenovirus vector vaccine transfected cells? Yes, you could see cross reactions to "self" on the cell. But in general IgG4 have less off a tool kit to cause immune reactions than IgG3.

@a_kruschke @notquitegonzo @mrmickme @APazyryk If there is an antibody type we should all be worried about it's afucosylated antibodies. They can cause very severe disease.

@RolandBakerIII @notquitegonzo @mrmickme @APazyryk Yes I meant the reaction to the "Spikeprotein presenting cells". The question was just scientific interest. The other antibodies you mentioned are certainly much more concerning in clinical practice.

@RolandBakerIII @notquitegonzo @mrmickme @APazyryk Those IgG4 related illnesses are extremely rare. It became a bit less rare meanwhile. M.

Pfizer even made a study about. https://www.ehealthme.com/vs/pfizer-biontech-covid-vaccine/mesenteric-panniculitis/
