Pre-existing polymerase-specific T cells expand in abortive seronegative SARS-CoV-2

Leo Swadling et al.

Summary: Research suggests that some individuals can clear potential SARS-CoV-2 infection after exposure, with T cells playing a role in the process. Studying healthcare workers who tested negative for antibodies revealed that they had stronger and more diverse memory T cells, with a focus on RTC.

Cellular Responses to Membrane and Nucleocapsid Viral Proteins Are Also Boosted After SARS-CoV-2 Spike mRNA Vaccination in Individuals With Either Past Infection or Cross-Reactivity

Alejandro Vallejo et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 spike mRNA vaccines not only induce specific responses to the spike protein, but also enhance T-cell responses to the membrane and nucleocapsid proteins. This suggests that mRNA vaccines serve as broad boosters of cellular responses and provide extended protection against viral variants.

Pre-existing T cell immunity determines the frequency and magnitude of cellular immune response to two doses of mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2

Jose L. Casado et al.

Summary: Little is known about the factors associated with the lack of T-cell response to mRNA vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. A study on a cohort of 61 healthcare workers found that 21% and 16% showed a lack of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell response after the first dose of the mRNA BNT162b vaccine, and 12% and 7% showed a lack of response after the second dose, respectively. Pre-existing T-cell immunity, either from past infection or cross-reactive cellular response, was significantly associated with T-cell response frequency and magnitude. Baseline CD4+ T-cell levels correlated positively with the titer of specific IgG antibodies. These findings suggest that cross-reactive T-cells are linked to better cellular and humoral responses after mRNA vaccination.

Recent endemic coronavirus infection is associated with less-severe COVID-19

Manish Sagar et al.

Summary: The study suggests that individuals with prior endemic coronavirus infections were tested more frequently for respiratory infections, but had similar rates of acquiring SARS-CoV-2. Additionally, patients with previous endemic coronavirus infections experienced less severe cases of COVID-19.

Immunological memory to SARS-CoV-2 assessed for up to 8 months after infection

Jennifer M. Dan et al.

Summary: Different components of immune memory to SARS-CoV-2 exhibit distinct kinetics, with antibodies and spike-specific memory B cells remaining relatively stable over 6 months, while CD4(+) T cells and CD8(+) T cells declining with a half-life of 3 to 5 months after infection.

Maturation and persistence of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 memory B cell response

Aurelien Sokal et al.

Summary: Memory B cells play a crucial role in host defense against SARS-CoV-2, with distinct B cell clone responses to the virus contributing to long-lasting immune protection. The study also highlights the significance of somatic mutations in the variable region genes of memory B cells over time, indicating continued maturation and long-term immune memory post-infection.

Summary: A pre-existing T-cell response against SARS-CoV-2 does not appear to reduce the risk of incident infections, but may contribute to asymptomatic or mild disease, rapid viral clearance, and differences in seroconversion.

Progressive and Parallel Decline of Humoral and T-Cell Immunity in Convalescent Healthcare Workers with Asymptomatic or Mild-to-Moderate Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Infection

Jose L. Casado et al.

Summary: The study found differences in the duration of T-cell and humoral immune responses among healthcare workers infected with COVID-19, with significantly lower T-cell response in those who lost antibodies early. Over time, most cases experienced a decline in antibodies, and a portion of cases lost T-cell response.

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.

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.

Rapid and stable mobilization of CD8+ T cells by SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine

Valerie Oberhardt et al.

Summary: After vaccination, CD8(+) T cells become important effector cells in providing early protection, being effectively mobilized one week after primary vaccination and maintaining stability after booster vaccination. Compared with natural infection, vaccine-induced CD8(+) T cells exhibit similar functional capacities but with a different subset distribution.

Summary: This study found that COVID-19 convalescents had greater antibody response and T-cell immunity after receiving the first dose of BNT162b2 vaccine compared to infection-naive individuals, with those having pre-existing T-cell immunity showing nearly all T-cell responses post-vaccination.
