Negative immune responses to two-dose mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in renal allograft recipients assessed with simple antibody and interferon gamma release assay cellular monitoring

Marta Crespo et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that kidney transplant recipients have lower immune responses to mRNA coronavirus vaccines, especially in those recently transplanted. Simple humoral and cellular monitoring is recommended to determine the need for repeated doses. Overall, a significant portion of healthy controls, dialysis patients, and kidney transplant recipients developed some form of immune response to SARS-CoV-2.

Interferon-γ Release Assay for Accurate Detection of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 T-Cell Response

Kanagavel Murugesan et al.

Summary: The study found that the interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) accurately distinguished between convalescent and uninfected healthy blood donors, with a predominantly CD4(+) T-cell response. Therefore, SARS-CoV-2 IGRA may serve as a useful diagnostic tool in managing the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.

A whole blood test to measure SARS-CoV-2-specific response in COVID-19 patients

Linda Petrone et al.

Summary: The study showed that specific T cell responses to SARS CoV 2 peptides can be detected in COVID-19 patients and are significantly different from individuals without COVID-19. This immune response exhibits characteristics of both Th1 and Th2 profiles, potentially serving as a new T cell-based diagnostic tool.

COVID-19-neutralizing antibodies predict disease severity and survival

Wilfredo F. Garcia-Beltran et al.

Summary: Severe cases of COVID-19 show increased inflammatory markers, lymphopenia, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and high antibody levels. High neutralization potency is a predictor of survival. Patient sera can neutralize different strains, indicating cross-protection from reinfection.

Reinfection With SARS-CoV-2: Implications for Vaccines

Jeffrey Cohen et al.

Summary: The likelihood and duration of reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 remain uncertain, as current knowledge on this topic is limited. Studies on other respiratory viruses suggest that serum antibodies typically persist for only a few months to a few years, making reinfections common. These findings have implications for vaccine development and the need for continued protective measures.

Correlates of protection against SARS-CoV-2 in rhesus macaques

Katherine McMahan et al.

Summary: Adoptive transfer of purified IgG from convalescent macaques protects naive macaques against SARS-CoV-2 infection, and cellular immune responses contribute to protection against rechallenge with SARS-CoV-2. The findings suggest that relatively low antibody titres are sufficient for protection against SARS-CoV-2 in macaques, while higher antibody titres are required for treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

T cell response to SARS-CoV-2 infection in humans: A systematic review

Madhumita Shrotri et al.

Summary: The study found that COVID-19 patients exhibit T cell lymphopenia, which is positively correlated with disease severity, duration of RNA positivity, and non-survival. Those with severe or critical disease tend to develop more robust, virus-specific T cell responses. Cross-reactive T cell responses have been demonstrated in unexposed and uninfected adults, but their significance for protection and susceptibility remains unclear.

Immunogenicity of the Ad26.COV2.S Vaccine for COVID-19

Kathryn E. Stephenson et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the immunogenicity of the Ad26.COV2.S vaccine in human participants, showing rapid induction of spike-specific humoral and cellular immune responses. Various antibody subclasses, Fc receptor binding properties, and antiviral functions were induced, along with CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses.

mRNA vaccines induce durable immune memory to SARS-CoV-2 and variants of concern

Rishi R. Goel et al.

Summary: This study found that immune memory to SARS-CoV-2 and its variants remains robust for at least 6 months after mRNA vaccination, with antibodies declining but still detectable in most individuals. mRNA vaccines also induced functional memory B cells and antigen-specific T cells, with recall responses primarily increasing antibody levels in individuals with preexisting immunity.

Pre-existing T-cell immunity to SARS-CoV-2 in unexposed healthy controls in Ecuador, as detected with a COVID-19 Interferon-Gamma Release Assay

Gustavo Echeverria et al.

Summary: The study conducted in Ecuador found that a portion of unexposed healthy individuals may have pre-existing T-cell immunity to SARS-CoV-2, likely due to previous exposure to other coronaviruses or microbial antigens. This suggests that a part of the population may have pre-existing immune responses to the virus, even without prior exposure.

Alessandra D'Abramo et al.

Summary: Prolonged B-cell depletion caused by anti-CD20 therapy impairs the adaptive immune response, leading to severe manifestations during COVID-19. Two patients under anti-CD20 therapy experienced prolonged and severe COVID-19 but were successfully treated with mAbs targeting the SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins.

Immunogenic T cell epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 are recognized by circulating memory and naive CD8 T cells of unexposed individuals

Isaac Quiros-Fernandez et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown evidence of cross-reactive CD8 T cells in non-exposed individuals to SARS-CoV-2, which can stabilize HLA molecules and activate CD8 T cells in healthy unexposed subjects. The reactive cells were found in naive, memory, and effector subsets, indicating a diverse T cell response in individuals without previous exposure to the virus.

Broad T Cell Targeting of Structural Proteins After SARS-CoV-2 Infection: High Throughput Assessment of T Cell Reactivity Using an Automated Interferon Gamma Release Assay

Isabel Brand et al.

Summary: Adaptive immune responses to structural proteins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus play a crucial role in protection against COVID-19. This study found that convalescent COVID-19 patients still exhibit broad T cell reactivity to multiple SARS-CoV-2 structural proteins over 200 days after infection. The study also showed a loose but significant correlation between anti-Nucleocapsid antibody titer and the magnitude and breadth of the T cell response.

Summary: T-cell responses play a crucial role in COVID-19, providing early detection of disease progression and predictive value for severity and survival rates. Vaccination stimulates robust T-cell responses, contributing significantly to protective immunity, although understanding of long-term T-cell responses remains limited.

Alberto M. Borobia et al.

Summary: To date, there are no immunological data on COVID-19 heterologous vaccination schedules in humans. This study evaluated the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of administering BNT162b2 as a second dose in individuals primed with ChAdOx1-S. The results showed that BNT162b2 induced a robust immune response in individuals prime vaccinated with ChAdOx1-S, with an acceptable and manageable reactogenicity profile.

Summary: This study suggests that some variants might partially escape humoral immunity induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection or BNT162b2 vaccination, but the S-specific CD4(+) T-cell activation is not affected by the mutations in the B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 variants.

Summary: The study showed that SARS-CoV-2 variants do not significantly disrupt total T cell reactivity, although decreases in response frequency of 10%-22% were observed under certain assay/VOC combinations. This underscores the importance of actively monitoring T cell responses in the context of SARS-CoV-2 evolution.
