The neutralizing antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 is dominated by antibodies deriving from germlines IGHV3-53/IGHV3-66, which are also associated with self-reacting antibodies. Could vaccines avoid the expansion of this immunodominant response, decrease the risk of autoimmunity, and still protect against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants?
针对 SARS-CoV-2 的中和抗体反应主要由源自 IGHV3-53/IGHV3-66 胚系的抗体主导,这些抗体也与自身反应性抗体有关。疫苗能否避免这种免疫优势反应的扩大,降低自身免疫的风险,同时仍然能预防新出现的 SARS-CoV-2 变体?
