Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 7(1)

Published: April 28, 2022

Abstract Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there have been a few variants severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2), one which is Omicron variant (B.1.1.529). The most mutated SARS-CoV-2 variant, and its high transmissibility immune evasion ability raised global concerns. Owing to enhanced transmissibility, has rapidly replaced Delta as dominant in several regions. However, recent studies shown that exhibits reduced pathogenicity due altered cell tropism. In addition, significant resistance neutralizing activity vaccines, convalescent serum, antibody therapies. present review, advances molecular clinical characteristics infectivity, pathogenicity, was summarized, potential therapeutic applications response infection were discussed. Furthermore, we highlighted future waves strategies end pandemic.

T he coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic has claimed an estimated 15 million lives, including more than 1 lives in the United States alone.The rapid development of multiple Covid-19 vaccines been a triumph biomedical research, and billions vaccine doses have administered worldwide.Challenges facing field include inequitable distribution, hesitancy, waning immunity, emergence highly transmissible viral variants that partially escape antibodies.This review summarizes current state knowledge about immune responses to importance both humoral cellular immunity for durable protection against severe disease.

Immune boosting by B.1.1.529 ( Omicron) depends on previous SARS-CoV-2 exposure

Science, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 377(6603)

The Omicron, or Pango lineage B.1.1.529, variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) carries multiple spike mutations with high transmissibility and partial neutralizing antibody (nAb) escape. Vaccinated individuals show protection against disease, often attributed to primed cellular immunity. We investigated T B cell immunity B.1.1.529 in triple BioNTech BNT162b2 messenger RNA-vaccinated health care workers (HCWs) different SARS-CoV-2 infection histories. previous variants concern was enhanced triple-vaccinated individuals, but the magnitude responses protein reduced. Immune imprinting by earlier B.1.1.7 (Alpha) resulted less durable binding B.1.1.529. Previously infection-naïve HCWs who became infected during wave showed reduced nAb potency itself.

Imprinted antibody responses against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sublineages

Science, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 378(6620), P. 619 - 627

Published: Oct. 20, 2022

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron sublineages carry distinct spike mutations resulting in escape from antibodies induced by previous infection or vaccination. We show that hybrid immunity vaccine boosters elicit plasma-neutralizing against BA.1, BA.2, BA.2.12.1, and BA.4/5, breakthrough infections, but not vaccination alone, induce neutralizing the nasal mucosa. Consistent with immunological imprinting, most derived memory B cells plasma of cases cross-react Wuhan-Hu-1, BA.4/5 receptor-binding domains, whereas primary infections narrow specificity up to 6 months after infection. Although clinical have reduced neutralization Omicron, we identified an ultrapotent pan-variant–neutralizing antibody is a strong candidate for development.

Abstract Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been the most severe public health challenge in this century. Two years after its emergence, rapid development and deployment of effective COVID-19 vaccines have successfully controlled pandemic greatly reduced risk illness death associated with COVID-19. However, due to ability rapidly evolve, SARS-CoV-2 virus may never be eradicated, there are many important new topics work on if we need live for a long time. To end, hope provide essential knowledge researchers who improvement future vaccines.

Omicron spike function and neutralizing activity elicited by a comprehensive panel of vaccines

Science, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 377(6608), P. 890 - 894

Published: July 19, 2022

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variant of concern comprises several sublineages, with BA.2 and BA.2.12.1 having replaced the previously dominant BA.1 BA.4 BA.5 increasing in prevalence worldwide. We show that large number sublineage spike mutations leads to enhanced angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE2) binding, reduced fusogenicity, dampening plasma neutralizing activity elicited by infection or seven clinical vaccines relative ancestral virus. Administration a homologous heterologous booster based on Wuhan-Hu-1 sequence markedly increased antibody titers breadth against BA.1, BA.2, BA.2.12.1, BA.4, across all evaluated. Our data suggest although sublineages evade polyclonal responses primary vaccine series, boosters may provide sufficient protection Omicron-induced disease.

The recent emergence of the Omicron variant has raised concerns on vaccine efficacy and urgent need to study more efficient vaccination strategies. Here we observed that an mRNA booster in individuals vaccinated with two doses inactivated significantly increased plasma level specific antibodies bind receptor-binding domain (RBD) or spike (S) ectodomain (S1 + S2) both G614 variants, compared homologous vaccine. RBD- S-specific IgG virus neutralization titers against variants concern heterologous group were similar receiving three mRNA-vaccine a boost after infection, but markedly higher than This regime furthermore enhanced RBD-specific memory B cell response S1-specific T response, Our demonstrates vaccines can be highly beneficial, as it increases humoral cellular immune responses virus, including variant.
