Haemodialysis patients respond poorly to vaccination and continue be at-risk for severe COVID-19. Therefore, dialysis were among the first which a fourth COVID-19 was recommended. However, targeted information on how best maintain immune protection after SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations in groups remains limited. We provide, of our knowledge, time longitudinal response data controls triple BNT162b2 latter subsequent full-dose mRNA-1273. analysed systemic mucosal humoral IgG responses against receptor-binding domain (RBD) ACE2-binding inhibition towards variants concern including Omicron Delta with multiplex-based immunoassays. In addition, we assessed Spike S1-specific T-cell by interferon γ release assay. After vaccination, anti-RBD B.1 ACE2 binding reached peak levels patients, but remained inferior compared controls. Whilst detected B.1-specific 84% three doses, variant only detectable 38% samples declining 16% before vaccination. By using mRNA-1273 as dose, immunity all tested strongly augmented 80% having Omicron-specific inhibition. Modest declines second restored third dose significantly increased Our support current advice four-dose immunisation scheme individuals such haemodialysis patients. conclude that administration part mixed mRNA boost prevent could also beneficial other impaired individuals.

The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant and its sublineages show pronounced viral escape from neutralizing antibodies elicited by vaccination or prior infection owing to over 30-amino acid alterations within the spike (S) glycoprotein. Breakthrough of vaccinated individuals with BA.1 BA.2 is associated distinct patterns cross-neutralizing activity against variants concern (VOCs). In continuation our previous work, we characterized effect BA.4/BA.5 S glycoprotein exposure on antibody response upon breakthrough in variant-adapted booster mice. We found that immune sera triple mRNA-vaccinated subsequent during wave showed BA.1, BA.2, BA.2.12.1, itself. Administration a prototypic BA.4/BA.5-adapted mRNA vaccine mice after wild-type strain-based primary immunization broader than BA.1-adapted booster. Whereas bivalent format (wild-type + BA.1) broadens relative monovalent booster, cross-neutralization descendants more effective boosted vaccine. naïve mice, induces strong VOCs variants. These findings suggest that, when administered as boosters, mono- vaccines enhance neutralization breadth version also has potential confer protection no preexisting immunity SARS-CoV-2.

The human immune response must continuously adapt to newly emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. To investigate how B cells respond repeated antigen exposure by Wu01 booster vaccination and Omicron breakthrough infection, we performed a molecular longitudinal analysis of the memory cell pool. We demonstrate that subsequent infection substantially increases frequency encoding SARS-CoV-2-neutralizing antibodies. However, this is not primarily attributable maturation, but selection preexisting clones. Moreover, broadly reactive arose early even neutralized highly mutated variants like XBB.1.5 individuals had encountered. Together, our data show immunity largely imprinted on over course multiple contacts can new through diversity.
