mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine boosters induce neutralizing immunity against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant

Wilfredo F. Garcia-Beltran et al.

Summary: Recent surveillance has identified the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, which carries up to 36 mutations in the spike protein and has the potential to evade vaccine-induced immunity. This study found that individuals vaccinated with mRNA vaccines exhibited strong neutralization of the Omicron variant, while most vaccinees had weak neutralization. The study also revealed that the Omicron variant infects more efficiently than other tested variants.

Immunogenicity and Reactogenicity of Vaccine Boosters after Ad26.COV2.S Priming

Roos S. G. Sablerolles et al.

Summary: This study investigated the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of a homologous or heterologous booster in healthcare workers who had received a single-shot Ad26.COV2.S vaccine. The results showed that booster vaccinations increased the levels of S-specific binding antibodies, neutralizing antibodies, and T-cell responses compared to a single Ad26.COV2.S vaccination. Boosters containing mRNA-based vaccines induced significantly higher levels of binding antibodies than homologous boosters. The mRNA-1273 booster was the most immunogenic but had higher reactogenicity compared to the BNT162b2 and Ad26.COV2.S boosters. Local and systemic reactions were generally mild to moderate in the first 2 days after booster administration.

Memory B Cells Induced by Sputnik V Vaccination Produce SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibodies Upon Ex Vivo Restimulation

Maria G. Byazrova et al.

Summary: The development of effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 is crucial. The study found that Sputnik V vaccination can result in robust B cell immunity, which is influenced by the individuals' history of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The research shows that B memory cell responses to Sputnik V play a significant role in neutralizing the virus and may provide insights into future responses against emerging variants.

mRNA-1273 but not BNT162b2 induces antibodies against polyethylene glycol (PEG) contained in mRNA-based vaccine formulations

Juan Manuel Carreno et al.

Summary: This study found differential induction of anti-PEG antibodies by mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2 vaccines. Although mRNA-1273 vaccine elicited increased reactivity to PEG, there was no obvious association between PEG antibodies and adverse reactions.

Improved Neutralisation of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant following a Booster Dose of Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b2) COVID-19 Vaccine

Kerri Basile et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2, declared as the fifth variant of concern by the World Health Organization, has multiple spike protein mutations that raise concerns about immune evasion. Research shows that sera from individuals who received two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 vaccine have limited neutralizing ability against SARS-CoV-2, but a third dose can boost neutralizing antibody titres. However, even with the boost, neutralizing antibody titres for Omicron are four times lower compared to the A.2.2 lineage of SARS-CoV-2.

Summary: This article reviews the safety and efficacy of Ad26 vector-based vaccines in clinical trials, showing good tolerability and immunogenicity in multiple studies. New developments in Ad26-based vaccines, including a COVID-19 vaccine currently in phase 3 clinical evaluation, are promising for vaccine development.

Isolation of a panel of ultra-potent human antibodies neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 and viral variants of concern

Andrey A. Gorchakov et al.

Summary: In the absence of approved small-molecule drugs targeting the virus, broadening the repertoire of potent SARS-CoV-2-neutralizing antibodies is crucial. This study isolated 23 RBD-specific human monoclonal antibodies with strong virus-neutralizing activity, including four categorized as ultrapotent. These antibodies retain activity against various SARS-CoV-2 variants and could effectively prevent viral replication and lung pathology.

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.

Franz X. Heinz et al.

Summary: COVID-19 vaccines have been rapidly developed using different technologies, including mRNA, adenoviral vectors, and inactivated vaccines. They all rely on the viral spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 to induce neutralizing antibodies, but the presentation of this key antigen to the immune system varies between different vaccine categories.

Pattern of circulating SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody-secreting and memory B-cell generation in patients with acute COVID-19

Maria Byazrova et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the generation of plasmablasts and RBD-specific memory B cells in patients during the acute phase of COVID-19. The activation and proliferation of Bmem cells were induced which led to the generation of plasmablast phenotypic cells and RBD-specific ASCs. Additionally, it was found that SARS-CoV-2-specific Bmem cells are generated during the acute phase of COVID-19, providing a basis for further studies on the longevity of SARS-CoV-2-specific B-cell memory.
