Antibody and T-Cell Responses 6 Months After Coronavirus Disease 2019 Messenger RNA-1273 Vaccination in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease, on Dialysis, or Living With a Kidney Transplant

Jan Stephan F. Sanders et al.

Summary: The immune response to COVID-19 vaccination is inferior in kidney transplant recipients and to a lesser extent in patients on dialysis or with chronic kidney disease. The antibody levels and T-cell responses significantly decrease after 6 months of vaccination, and neutralization of the Omicron variant is barely detectable.

SARS-CoV-2 vaccination induces immunological T cell memory able to cross-recognize variants from Alpha to Omicron

Alison Tarke et al.

Summary: T cell responses induced by different vaccine platforms cross-recognize early SARS-CoV-2 variants, while memory B cells and neutralizing antibodies show significant decreases. The majority of memory T cell responses are preserved against variants, with lower recognition of Omicron by memory B cells.

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.

TOTAL ANTI-SARS-COV-2 ANTIBODIES MEASURED 6 MONTHS AFTER PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINATION IN HEALTHCARE WORKERS

Gian Luca Salvagno et al.

Summary: After healthcare workers received two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, serum levels of total anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies peaked 1 month after the second dose and gradually declined at 3 and 6 months. Despite the decline, antibody levels remained higher than the cut-off point, with no cases of seronegativization after 6 months. Baseline seropositive individuals experienced a more significant decline in antibodies, and younger subjects and women had consistently higher antibody levels at the 6-month follow-up.

Vaccines elicit highly conserved cellular immunity to SARS-CoV-2 Omicron

Jinyan Liu et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that cellular immunity induced by current SARS-CoV-2 vaccines is highly conserved to the Omicron spike protein. Individuals vaccinated with Ad26.COV2.S or BNT162b2 vaccines showed durable spike-specific CD8(+) and CD4(+) T cell responses that were cross-reactive to both the Delta and Omicron variants, including in central and effector memory cellular subpopulations.

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.

Jan-Stephan F. Sanders et al.

Summary: In kidney patients, the immunogenicity, tolerability, and safety of COVID-19 vaccination vary. Kidney transplant recipients have a poor immune response, while patients with CKD G4/5 and those on dialysis have a comparable response to the control group. Dialysis patients and transplant recipients experience fewer adverse events after vaccination.

Immunogenicity of the mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine in adult patients with inborn errors of immunity

Leanne P. M. van Leeuwen et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the immune response of COVID-19 vaccines in patients with IEI. The results showed that COVID-19 vaccination was immunogenic in patients with mild antibody deficiencies and phagocyte defects, but had lower immunogenicity in patients with more severe IEI like CVID and combined B- and T-cell immunodeficiency. The presence of noninfectious complications and the use of immunosuppressive drugs negatively affected the antibody response in patients with CVID.

Summary: The study describes the evolution of passive immunity to SARS-CoV-2 in commercial off-the-shelf Ig products used for IGRT during the pandemic, finding that while SARS-CoV-2 antibody concentrations in commercial Ig products increased over time, they remained inconsistently present and had reduced neutralizing capacity against the Omicron variant in batches with high concentrations of antibodies directed against the original virus strain.

Immunizing the imperfect immune system Coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination in patients with inborn errors of immunity

Jessica R. Durkee-Shock et al.

Summary: This article provides an update on the immunogenicity and safety of COVID-19 vaccines in patients with IEI. The study found that most patients with IEI showed antibody responses to COVID-19 vaccination, with stronger responses observed after mRNA vaccination. While neutralizing antibodies were detected in IEI patients, the levels were consistently lower than healthy controls. Risk factors for poor antibody responses included common variable immunodeficiency, autoimmune comorbidities, and rituximab use. T cell responses were detectable in most patients with IEI, but poorer responses were often found in patients with common variable immunodeficiency. Overall, COVID-19 vaccines were safe in patients with IEI and demonstrated immunogenicity in most individuals, especially with mRNA vaccinations.

Antibody response following the third and fourth SARS-CoV-2 vaccine dose in individuals with common variable immunodeficiency

Bibi Uhre Nielsen et al.

Summary: Multiple doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in CVID patients appear to improve the antibody response, with antibody levels increasing after the third and fourth vaccine dose. However, the levels of anti-S-RBD from mAB treatment outperform those mounted after vaccination. IgRT products have varying concentrations of anti-S-RBD, but none of the products seem to affect the overall antibody levels.

Oon Tek Ng et al.

Summary: This cohort study assessed the effectiveness of booster vaccinations against severe COVID-19 and confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in Singapore during the Omicron wave. The study found that mRNA boosters provided protection against confirmed infection for 15 to 60 days, but the effectiveness waned after five months. mRNA boosters also showed high effectiveness against severe COVID-19. Three-dose inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccination provided greater protection than two-dose, but weaker protection compared to mRNA boosters.
