Dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 neutralising antibody responses and duration of immunity: a longitudinal study

Wan Ni Chia et al.

Summary: The study investigated the dynamics of neutralising antibody response in patients who have recovered from COVID-19, finding great variations and suggesting that predicting immune longevity can only be accurately determined at the individual level. The findings emphasize the importance of public health and social measures in the ongoing pandemic outbreak response, and may have implications for the longevity of immunity after vaccination.

Transmission event of SARS-CoV-2 delta variant reveals multiple vaccine breakthrough infections

Timothy Farinholt et al.

Summary: This study identified a cluster of 6 vaccinated patients infected with the delta variant, suggesting immune evasion in patients who received the Pfizer BNT162b2, Moderna mRNA-1273, and Covaxin BBV152 vaccines. The delta variant may pose the highest risk among currently circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants, with increased transmissibility over the alpha variant and potential vaccine breakthrough.

Summary: Volunteers who received the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine showed high levels of antibodies and memory B cell responses against SARS-CoV-2, with activity similar to individuals who had recovered from natural infection. However, their efficacy against specific SARS-CoV-2 variants was reduced, indicating a potential need for periodic updates to mRNA vaccines to maintain clinical efficacy.

Discrete SARS-CoV-2 antibody titers track with functional humoral stability

Yannic C. Bartsch et al.

Summary: The study reveals significant heterogeneity in antibody responses following SARS-CoV-2 infection, with limited decay of antibody titers over time. Observing neutralization, Fc-function, and SARS-CoV-2 specific T cell responses requires reaching a certain threshold of receptor-binding domain (RBD)-specific antibody titers, indicating a switch-like relationship between antibody titer and function.

Evangelos Terpos et al.

Summary: The study found that antibody responses against SARS-CoV-2 decreased over time, with Spike antibodies showing longer persistence. The antibody decay followed a biphasic trend, with more pronounced decrease in the first 6 months. The longevity and neutralizing ability of antibodies against Spike and Spike-RBD should be considered in future vaccination strategies.

A Phase II Study on the Use of Convalescent Plasma for the Treatment of Severe COVID-19-A Propensity Score-Matched Control Analysis

Vasiliki Pappa et al.

Summary: A multicenter phase II study evaluated the efficacy and safety of convalescent plasma (CP) in severe COVID-19 patients, finding that CP recipients had significantly reduced risk of death, improved overall survival, and higher chances of extubation. Higher levels of antibodies in the CP were associated with reduced risk of death, and CP infusion was safe with minimal adverse events. Early use of CP may be a safe and effective treatment for severe COVID-19 patients.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617 Delta variant, first identified in India in 2020, has become dominant in some regions and is spreading to many countries. This variant shows resistance to certain monoclonal antibodies and antibodies in convalescent sera, as well as reduced neutralization by some COVID-19 vaccines. Administration of two doses of the vaccine is needed for a neutralizing response against the Delta variant.

Systemic IL-15, IFN-γ, and IP-10/CXCL10 signature associated with effective immune response to SARS-CoV-2 in BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine recipients

Cristina Bergamaschi et al.

Summary: Early responses to vaccination play a crucial role in shaping both humoral and cellular protective immunity. This study characterizes cytokine and chemokine responses after the first and second dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine, highlighting the potential for biomarkers like IL-15 and IFN-gamma in predicting humoral immunity development. In previously COVID-19-infected individuals, a single vaccination can trigger strong cytokine induction and antibody responses similar to those seen in naive individuals upon booster vaccination, with implications for future public health recommendations.

SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies: Longevity, breadth, and evasion by emerging viral variants

Fiona Tea et al.

Summary: The study found that a broad and sustained polyantigenic immunoreactivity against SARS-CoV-2 was associated with high viral neutralization, which was related to COVID-19 severity. Some high responders maintained high neutralizing responses over time, making them ideal convalescent plasma donors. Antibodies generated during the first wave of COVID-19 had reduced immunoreactivity and neutralization potency to emerging Spike variants and VOC.

Summary: In this study, it was found that neutralizing antibody responses in COVID-19 convalescent individuals vary in magnitude but are durable. Higher neutralizing antibody titers are independently and significantly associated with male sex, as well as with increased age and symptom grade in male donors. Cardiometabolic comorbidities are also associated with higher antibody titers independently of sex.

Dynamics of Neutralizing Antibody Titers in the Months After Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Infection

Katharine H. D. Crawford et al.

Summary: Antibody levels, including neutralizing antibodies, decline after SARS-CoV-2 infection, with a 4-fold average decrease in titers from 1 to 4 months after symptom onset. This decline is accompanied by a decrease in total antibodies capable of binding the viral spike protein. Further studies are needed to determine the long-term durability of immunity to SARS-CoV-2, including examination of long-lived B cells and antibody titers over extended periods.
