Infliximab is associated with attenuated immunogenicity to BNT162b2 and ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in patients with IBD

Nicholas A. Kennedy et al.

Summary: Infliximab treatment in patients with inflammatory bowel disease results in attenuated serological responses to a single dose of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Delayed second dosing should be avoided in these patients, as vaccination after SARS-CoV-2 infection or a second dose leads to seroconversion in most individuals.

Emma English et al.

Summary: In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous new serology tests were developed without rigorous evaluation, leading to inconsistent results. Robustly evaluated quantitative serology methods are needed, harmonized to a primary reference material for improved clinical decision making.

BNT162b2 vaccine induces neutralizing antibodies and poly-specific T cells in humans

Ugur Sahin et al.

Summary: The BNT162b2 vaccine shows 95% efficacy in preventing COVID-19 by boosting neutralizing antibody titres and activating specific T cell responses. The vaccine-induced immune response is broad and stable, lasting for a prolonged period, providing good coverage against various SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Can commercial automated immunoassays be utilized to predict neutralizing antibodies after SARS-CoV-2 infection? A comparative study between three different assays

Ahmed Ismail et al.

Summary: Three fully automated anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunoassays were compared for their performance in predicting neutralizing activity. The VITROS (R) and CL-900i (R) assays demonstrated the highest diagnostic sensitivity and correlation with neutralizing activity. ROC curve analysis indicated that the manufacturer's recommended cutoff values are effective in predicting the presence of neutralizing antibodies.
