Anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and neutralizing antibodies at 1 and 3 months after three doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in a large cohort of solid organ transplant patients

Nassim Kamar et al.

Summary: The immunogenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine was enhanced by a third dose. A retrospective study on solid organ transplant patients found that two-thirds of them developed anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies after three doses, but one-third remained weak or non-protected. Antibody concentrations and protection levels decreased between 1 and 3 months after vaccination.

The Omicron variant is highly resistant against antibody-mediated neutralization: Implications for control of the COVID-19 pandemic

Markus Hoffmann et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 is spreading rapidly and shows resistance to most therapeutic antibodies. It also evades neutralization by antibodies induced by infection or vaccination more efficiently than the Delta variant. This suggests that therapeutic antibodies may not be effective against the Omicron variant, and double vaccination with BNT162b2 may not provide adequate protection against severe disease caused by this variant.

Evaluation of Three Quantitative Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Immunoassays

Sabine Chapuy-Regaud et al.

Summary: Three commercially available assays for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were evaluated with varying sensitivity for different stages of infection. The assays showed correlation with neutralizing antibody titers, but discrepancies were observed in certain scenarios.
