CD20-Targeted Therapy Ablates De Novo Antibody Response to Vaccination but Spares Preestablished Immunity

Tanaya Shree et al.

Summary: In patients with lymphoma, the time since anti-CD20 treatment is an important predictor of neutralizing antibody response to COVID-19 vaccination. Comparing patients who received anti-CD20 treatment before or after vaccination, we demonstrate that vaccinating first can generate a durable antibody response that persists during anti-CD20-containing treatment.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory therapies on the severity of COVID-19 in people with multiple sclerosis. Therapy with an anti-CD20 agent and recent use of methylprednisolone were associated with increased risk of severe COVID-19.

Humoral immune response following SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination concomitant to anti-CD20 therapy in multiple sclerosis

Frederik Novak et al.

Summary: The study revealed a decreased humoral response after BNT162b2 mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in multiple sclerosis patients receiving B-cell depleting therapy, with some patients having insufficient antibody levels. Clinicians should advise patients treated with anti-CD20 to avoid exposure to SARS-CoV-2. Future research should investigate the impact of a third booster vaccine for patients with low or absent antibody levels after vaccination.

Discordant humoral and T cell immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in people with multiple sclerosis on anti-CD20 therapy

Sachin P. Gadani et al.

Summary: This study found robust T cell responses in individuals with multiple sclerosis on anti-CD20 therapies despite a reduced humoral response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Follow-up studies are needed to determine if this translates to protection against COVID-19 infection.

Pre-Existing Humoral Immunological Memory Is Retained in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis Receiving Cladribine Therapy

Tobias Moser et al.

Summary: The study found that CLAD treatment does not interfere with patients' pre-existing specific antibody levels against pathogens, with seroprotection loss rate below 1%. There was no significant change in serum IgG levels under CLAD treatment, while absolute lymphocyte counts were significantly reduced at the end of each treatment year.

Neutralizing antibody levels are highly predictive of immune protection from symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection

David S. Khoury et al.

Summary: The level of neutralizing antibodies is closely related to immune protection against COVID-19, playing a crucial role in protecting against detected infection and severe infection. Studies have shown that neutralizing titers will decline over time after vaccination, leading to decreased protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Primary, Recall, and Decay Kinetics of SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Antibody Responses

F. Javier Ibarrondo et al.

Summary: Studies on two SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines have shown that they provide about 95% protection from symptomatic infection in the short term, but questions remain about the comparison and stability of vaccine-induced antibody levels to natural infection. Antibody levels decline similarly after vaccination and natural infection, indicating potential need for booster shots.

Cellular and humoral immune responses following SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination in patients with multiple sclerosis on anti-CD20 therapy

Sokratis A. Apostolidis et al.

Summary: Patients with multiple sclerosis on anti-CD20 monotherapy exhibit significantly reduced SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies and memory B cells, while CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells are robustly activated compared to healthy controls after receiving BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273 mRNA vaccination.
