Immune imprinting, breadth of variant recognition, and germinal center response in human SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination

Katharina Roltgen et al.

Summary: During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, different vaccines have been used globally. This study compares the antibodies generated by mRNA vaccines, infection, and other types of vaccines. It shows that mRNA vaccines result in a better antibody breadth against viral variants compared to infection. Infection leads to variant-specific antibodies, while mRNA vaccination imprints responses towards the original virus strain. mRNA vaccines also stimulate robust germinal centers in lymph nodes, enhancing the immune response.

Summary: This study conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled Phase I trial in France and Belgium to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of V591, a measles vector-based vaccine candidate for COVID-19. The results showed that V591 had a good safety profile at both dose levels, but the immunogenicity was not sufficient to support further development.

An intranasal lentiviral booster reinforces the waning mRNA vaccine-induced SARS-CoV-2 immunity that it targets to lung mucosa

Benjamin Vesin et al.

Summary: For COVID-19, intranasal boosting with LV::SBeta-2P vaccine can effectively enhance cross-sero-neutralizing activity and systemic T cell immunity. In addition, the vaccine efficiently induces mucosal antibodies, lung-resident B cells, and effector memory and resident T cells, providing protection against both SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant and Omicron infection in the lungs.

Adenovirus type 5 SARS-CoV-2 vaccines delivered orally or intranasally reduced disease severity and transmission in a hamster model

Stephanie N. Langel et al.

Summary: Vaccination through oral or intranasal routes can generate strong antibody responses, reduce viral load in the nose and lungs, and mitigate lung pathology caused by SARS-CoV-2. Mucosally vaccinated hamsters transmitted fewer viruses with less severity to naive hamsters, suggesting that mucosal immunization can reduce viral transmission. In a clinical trial, the same platform also induced mucosal cross-reactive antibody responses.

Catherine J. Reynolds et al.

Summary: This study investigated the immune response of triple BioNTech BNT162b2 mRNA-vaccinated healthcare workers to the B.1.1.529 variant. It was found that individuals vaccinated with three doses showed enhanced immunity against previous variants, but reduced immune response to B.1.1.529. Individuals previously infected with other variants showed enhanced immunity against earlier variants, but reduced immune response to B.1.1.529.

Summary: In this study, a strategy was devised to enhance the CD4(+) T cell response of Lentiviral vectors (LVs) by extending the LV-encoded antigens with MHC-II-associated light invariant chain. The results showed that this strategy improved the protective efficacy against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and extended the mucosal immune response.

Respiratory mucosal immunity against SARS-CoV-2 after mRNA vaccination

Jinyi Tang et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination induces strong immune responses in the circulation, but its effectiveness in the respiratory tract, especially against variants of concern like Omicron, is still uncertain. This study found lower neutralizing antibody responses in the respiratory tract of vaccinated individuals compared to COVID-19 convalescents, despite robust antibody responses in the blood. Vaccination also induced circulating B and T cell immunity, but these responses were absent in the respiratory tract. Mouse immunization experiments showed that systemic mRNA vaccination alone resulted in weak respiratory mucosal neutralizing antibody responses, but combining it with mucosal adenovirus-S immunization produced strong neutralizing antibody responses against both the ancestral virus and the Omicron variant. Overall, this study suggests that current COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective against severe disease, but provide limited protection against breakthrough infections, particularly by the Omicron sublineage.

Intranasal vaccination with a lentiviral vector protects against SARS-CoV-2 in preclinical animal models

Min-Wen Ku et al.

Summary: Vaccination using a lentiviral vector to induce neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 provides partial protection when administered systemically, but intranasal immunization results in a significant decrease in lung viral load and reduced local inflammation. Integrative and non-integrative lentiviral platforms both show strong vaccine efficacy against COVID-19 in golden hamsters, highlighting the potential of intranasal vaccination as a powerful approach.

Enhanced SARS-CoV-2 neutralization by dimeric IgA

Zijun Wang et al.

Summary: The IgA response to SARS-CoV-2 was characterized in a cohort of 149 convalescent individuals after COVID-19 diagnosis. IgA responses in plasma generally correlated with IgG responses, and B cells producing IgM, IgG, and IgA were derived from common progenitor cells. Notably, IgA dimers were found to be 15 times more potent than IgA monomers against SARS-CoV-2, suggesting their potential value for protection and vaccine efficacy.

Delphine Sterlin et al.

Summary: The study found that humoral immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection are dominated by IgA antibodies, with specific IgA plasmablasts rapidly expanding shortly after symptom onset and peaking in the third week of the disease. Virus-specific antibody responses include IgG, IgM, and IgA, with IgA playing a greater role in virus neutralization compared to IgG.
