Necessity of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Vaccination in Persons Who Have Already Had COVID-19

Nabin K. Shrestha et al.

Summary: Both previous infection and vaccination provide substantial protection against COVID-19. Vaccination of previously infected individuals does not provide additional protection against COVID-19 for several months, but after that provides significant protection at least against symptomatic COVID-19. Individuals previously infected with COVID-19 are substantially protected against COVID-19 for several months in the absence of vaccination. Beyond that time, vaccination protects against symptomatic COVID-19 among those previously infected, probably by boosting of waning natural immunity.

Robust immune responses are observed after one dose of BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine dose in SARS-CoV-2-experienced individuals

Marie Samanovic et al.

Summary: COVID-19 vaccines are crucial in ending the pandemic, but the immune responses induced by mRNA vaccines may differ in individuals who had recovered from COVID-19. The study found that both groups exhibited robust cytotoxic T cell responses after the second dose of the vaccine. However, individuals with no prior COVID-19 infection had increasing humoral and antigen-specific antibody-secreting cell responses after each dose, while those who had recovered from COVID-19 showed strong initial responses that did not further enhance after the second dose.

Impact of age, ethnicity, sex and prior infection status on immunogenicity following a single dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine: real-world evidence from healthcare workers, Israel, December 2020 to January 2021

Kamal Abu Jabal et al.

Summary: An analysis of 514 Israeli healthcare workers showed that the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine had similar immunogenicity by ethnicity and sex, but decreased with age. Individuals with prior COVID-19 infection had significantly higher antibody titres compared to those who were naive, regardless of pre-vaccination IgG levels.

Impact of circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants on mRNA vaccine-induced immunity

Carolina Lucas et al.

Summary: This study found that individuals previously infected with the virus had higher antibody titres post-vaccination compared to those who were uninfected, but both groups reached comparable levels of neutralization responses to the ancestral strain after the second vaccine dose. Comprehensive analysis of 16 locally circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants revealed varying degrees of reduction in neutralization capacity associated with specific mutations in the spike gene, suggesting vaccine boosters as a relevant future strategy to counteract the impact of emerging variants on antibody neutralizing activity.

Summary: Defined levels of SARS-CoV-2-specific binding and neutralizing antibodies elicited by the COVID-19 vaccine were identified as correlates of protection against symptomatic infection. Higher levels of immune markers were correlated with a reduced risk of symptomatic infection. The data can be used to extrapolate efficacy estimates to new populations.

mRNA vaccines induce durable immune memory to SARS-CoV-2 and variants of concern

Rishi R. Goel et al.

Summary: This study found that immune memory to SARS-CoV-2 and its variants remains robust for at least 6 months after mRNA vaccination, with antibodies declining but still detectable in most individuals. mRNA vaccines also induced functional memory B cells and antigen-specific T cells, with recall responses primarily increasing antibody levels in individuals with preexisting immunity.

N-terminal domain antigenic mapping reveals a site of vulnerability for SARS-CoV-2

Matthew McCallum et al.

Summary: The study identifies 41 human monoclonal antibodies that recognize the N-terminal domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and exhibit strong neutralizing activity. These antibodies inhibit cell-to-cell fusion, activate effector functions, and protect animals from virus challenge, highlighting the importance of NTD-specific neutralizing antibodies for protective immunity and vaccine development. Several SARS-CoV-2 variants with mutations in the NTD supersite suggest ongoing selective pressure on the virus.

Antibody responses to the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine in individuals previously infected with SARS-CoV-2

Joseph E. Ebinger et al.

Summary: Virus-specific antibody levels after a single dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine in individuals previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 are similar to levels after two doses of the vaccine in infection-naive individuals. Post-vaccine symptoms were more prominent for those with prior infection after the first dose, but symptomology was similar between groups after the second dose.

mRNA vaccination boosts cross-variant neutralizing antibodies elicited by SARS-CoV-2 infection

Leonidas Stamatatos et al.

Summary: The study found that vaccination of both previously infected individuals and those who were not infected resulted in increased neutralizing antibody titers, with previously infected individuals showing a greater boost in neutralizing titers. Vaccination of naive individuals also elicited cross-neutralizing responses, but at lower titers.

Cross-reactive serum and memory B-cell responses to spike protein in SARS-CoV-2 and endemic coronavirus infection

Ge Song et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of pre-existing immunity to seasonal endemic coronaviruses on antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2, finding weak evidence of pre-existing cross-reactive serum antibodies in pre-pandemic donors, but evidence of pre-existing cross-reactive memory B cells activated during SARS-CoV-2 infection. Monoclonal antibodies show varying degrees of cross-reactivity with betacoronaviruses, and one neutralizing antibody specific to the S2 subunit of the S protein is identified, suggesting that pre-existing immunity to endemic coronaviruses should be considered in evaluating antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2.

Antibody Responses in COVID-19: A Review

Mateo Chvatal-Medina et al.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 continues to spread as a severe pandemic, with variable seroprevalence rates worldwide and higher rates among health workers. The cross-neutralizing response between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 is controversial, and the use of convalescent plasma has shown uncertain results. Cellular immunity plays a crucial role in resolving the infection.

Distinct antibody and memory B cell responses in SARS-CoV-2 naive and recovered individuals after mRNA vaccination

Rishi R. Goel et al.

Summary: mRNA vaccines exhibit robust serological and cellular priming, with naïve individuals requiring two doses for optimal antibody responses, especially against the B.1.351 variant. Memory B cells specific for spike protein and RBD were efficiently primed by vaccination, while recovered individuals showed significant boosting after the first dose, correlating with preexisting memory B cell levels. Identifying distinct responses based on prior SARS-CoV-2 exposure suggests that recovered subjects may only need one vaccine dose for peak responses, which can inform vaccine distribution strategies in resource-limited settings.

Immune correlates of protection by mRNA-1273 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 in nonhuman primates

Kizzmekia S. Corbett et al.

Summary: In nonhuman primates (NHPs), vaccination with mRNA-1273 induces dose-dependent antibody responses, leading to a significant reduction in viral replication post SARS-CoV-2 challenge. Replication of the virus correlates strongly with antibody levels and neutralizing activity, with lower levels required in the lower airway than in the upper airway. Passive transfer of mRNA-1273-induced IgG is sufficient to provide protection, indicating that humoral immune responses induced by mRNA-1273 vaccine are effective against SARS-CoV-2 in NHPs.
