Correlates of protection against SARS-CoV-2 in rhesus macaques

Katherine McMahan et al.

Summary: Adoptive transfer of purified IgG from convalescent macaques protects naive macaques against SARS-CoV-2 infection, and cellular immune responses contribute to protection against rechallenge with SARS-CoV-2. The findings suggest that relatively low antibody titres are sufficient for protection against SARS-CoV-2 in macaques, while higher antibody titres are required for treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Early induction of functional SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells associates with rapid viral clearance and mild disease in COVID-19 patients

Anthony T. Tan et al.

Summary: This study found that early induction of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) secreting SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells was present in patients with mild disease and accelerated viral clearance, while rapid induction and quantity of humoral responses were associated with an increase in disease severity. These findings highlight the importance of early functional SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells in both vaccine design and immune monitoring.

Simultaneous CD8+ T-Cell Immune Response against SARS-Cov-2 S, M, and N Induced by Endogenously Engineered Extracellular Vesicles in Both Spleen and Lungs

Flavia Ferrantelli et al.

Summary: A new vaccination approach based on in vivo engineering of extracellular vesicles to induce CD8(+) T cytotoxic lymphocyte immunity, resulting in cross-presentation of antigens to prime antigen-specific CD8(+) T-cells and initiate immune responses against viruses.

Antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in 45,965 adults from the general population of the United Kingdom

Jia Wei et al.

Summary: A longitudinal study on 45,965 adults in the UK revealed that older individuals, especially those aged >60 years, had lower antibody levels after a single dose of ChAdOx1 or BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccines. Prioritizing vaccine allocation for those not previously infected and older individuals for the second dose is recommended based on the findings. Further data is needed to fully understand the relationship between quantitative antibody responses and vaccine-mediated protection.

Virus-Induced CD8+ T-Cell Immunity and Its Exploitation to Contain the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic

Maurizio Federico

Summary: This article discusses the role of CD8(+) T cell immunity against SARS-CoV-2 in different vaccine formulations, highlighting its ability to complement the shortcomings of antibodies and have a positive effect on antiviral immunity. Furthermore, CD8(+) T cell immunity also maintains efficacy in the presence of viral protein mutations.

SARS-CoV-2 variants and effectiveness of vaccines: a review of current evidence

Elizabeth-Barbara Tatsi et al.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 virus is evolving rapidly, with the Delta variant of Indian origin being the dominant and most contagious worldwide. Though vaccines are promising, their effectiveness varies against different variants.

Impact of SARS-CoV-2 variants on the total CD4+ and CD8+ T cell reactivity in infected or vaccinated individuals

Alison Tarke et al.

Summary: The study showed that SARS-CoV-2 variants do not significantly disrupt total T cell reactivity, although decreases in response frequency of 10%-22% were observed under certain assay/VOC combinations. This underscores the importance of actively monitoring T cell responses in the context of SARS-CoV-2 evolution.

Characterization of pre-existing and induced SARS-CoV-2-specific CD8+ T cells

Isabel Schulien et al.

Summary: The study found that SARS-CoV-2 infection induces and forms functionally competent memory CD8(+) T cell responses, which can persist in some SARS-CoV-2 convalescent individuals. Even in the absence of virus-specific antibodies, these virus epitope-specific CD8(+) T cell responses are induced following infection.
