Adaptive immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19

Alessandro Sette et al.

Summary: The adaptive immune system, consisting of B cells, CD4(+) T cells, and CD8(+) T cells, plays varying roles in different viral infections and vaccines. Studies are showing that CD4(+) T cells, CD8(+) T cells, and neutralizing antibodies all play a part in controlling SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 cases, emphasizing the importance of understanding adaptive immunity in combating the disease.

Evolution of antibody immunity to SARS-CoV-2

Christian Gaebler et al.

Summary: After infection with SARS-CoV-2, antibody levels against the spike protein decrease significantly, but the number of memory B cells remain unchanged, indicating an evolving humoral response at 6.2 months after infection.

Antibody Status and Incidence of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Health Care Workers

S. F. Lumley et al.

Summary: In a longitudinal study of seropositive and seronegative health care workers undergoing asymptomatic and symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 testing, the presence of anti-spike or anti-nucleocapsid IgG antibodies was associated with a substantially reduced risk of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection in the ensuing 6 months.

Immunogenicity of the Ad26.COV2.S Vaccine for COVID-19

Kathryn E. Stephenson et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the immunogenicity of the Ad26.COV2.S vaccine in human participants, showing rapid induction of spike-specific humoral and cellular immune responses. Various antibody subclasses, Fc receptor binding properties, and antiviral functions were induced, along with CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Infection in the Representative COVID-19 Cohort Munich

Michael Pritsch et al.

Summary: Population-based studies are essential to estimate the true magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially considering the high number of mild or asymptomatic cases. A study conducted in Munich found a seropositivity rate of 1.82% for SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies, significantly higher than the officially registered PCR-positive cases. Loss of sense of smell or taste was associated with seropositivity, and infections were clustered within households. These results provide valuable insights for public health measures and decision-making.

Intrafamilial Exposure to SARS-CoV-2 Associated with Cellular Immune Response without Seroconversion, France

Floriane Gallais et al.

Summary: The study found that all confirmed COVID-19 patients had SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies and T-cell responses lasting up to 102 days after symptom onset, while their contacts remained seronegative but 6 of them reported COVID-19 symptoms within a median of 7 days and 4 of them had positive SARS-CoV-2 specific T-cell responses lasting up to 93 days after infection.
