Toll-like receptor 4 signalling regulates antibody response to adenoviral vector-based vaccines by imprinting germinal centre quality.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Adenoviral vectors (AdV) are considered promising candidates for vaccine applications. A prominent group of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) participate in the adenovirus-induced adaptive immune response, yet there is little information regarding the role of TLR4 in AdV-induced immune responses in recent literature. We investigated the function of TLR4 in both adaptive and innate immune responses to an AdV-based anthrax vaccine. By immunizing wild-type and TLR4 knockout (TLR4-KO) mice, we revealed the requirement of TLR4 in AdV-induced innate responses. We also showed that TLR4 functions are required for germinal centre responses in immunized mice, as expression of the apoptosis-related marker Fas was down-regulated on germinal centre B cells from TLR4-KO mice. Likewise, decreased expression of inducible costimulator on follicular T helper cells was observed in immunized TLR4-KO mice. Moreover, a potent protective antigen-specific humoral immune response was mimicked using an adjuvant system containing the TLR4 agonist monophosphoryl lipid A. Overall, our findings showed that very rapid antigen-specific antibody production is correlated with the TLR4-imprinted germinal centre response to AdV-based vaccine. These results provide additional evidence for the use of the AdV and a TLR agonist to induce humoral responses. Our findings offer new insights into rational vaccine design.
