Knowledge about development and duration of virus-specific antibodies after COVID-19 vaccination is important for understanding how to limit the pandemic via vaccination in different populations and societies. However, the clinical utility of postvaccination testing of antibody response and selection of targeted SARS-CoV-2 antigen(s) has not been established. The results of such testing from clinical teams independent from vaccine manufacturers are also limited. Here, we report the initial results of an ongoing clinical study on evaluation of antibody response to four different SARS-CoV-2 antigens after first and second dose of Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines and at later time points. We revealed a peak of antibody induction after the vaccine boosting dose with a gradual decline of antibody levels at later time. Anti-nucleocapsid antibody was not induced by spike protein-encoding vaccines and this may continue to serve as a marker of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection. No differences between the two vaccines in terms of antibody response were revealed. Age and gender dependencies were determined to be minimal within the healthy adult (but not aged) population. Our results suggest that postvaccination testing of antibody response is an important and feasible tool for following people after vaccination and selecting individuals who might require a third dose of vaccine at an earlier time point or persons who may not need a second dose due to previous SARS-CoV-2 infection. Now that authorized vaccines for COVID-19 have been widely used, it is important to understand how they induce antivirus antibodies, which antigens are targeted, how long antibodies circulate, and how personal health conditions and age may affect this humoral immunity. Here, we report induction and time course of multiple anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses in healthy individuals immunized with Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines. We also determined the age and gender dependence of the antibody response and compared antibody levels to responses seen in those who have recovered from COVID-19. Our results suggest the importance of screening for antibody response to multiple antigens after vaccination in order to reveal individuals who require early and late additional boosting and those who may not need second dose due to prior SARS-CoV-2 infection.
了解 COVID-19 疫苗接种后病毒特异性抗体的产生和持续时间对于理解如何通过疫苗接种在不同人群和社会中限制大流行非常重要。然而,疫苗接种后抗体反应检测和靶向 SARS-CoV-2 抗原选择的临床实用性尚未确定。来自疫苗制造商之外的临床团队的此类检测结果也很有限。在这里,我们报告了一项正在进行的临床研究的初步结果,该研究评估了首次和第二次接种辉瑞和 Moderna mRNA 疫苗以及随后时间点后四种不同 SARS-CoV-2 抗原的抗体反应。我们发现疫苗加强剂量后抗体诱导达到峰值,随后抗体水平逐渐下降。核衣壳蛋白编码疫苗不能诱导抗核衣壳抗体,这可能继续作为以前 SARS-CoV-2 感染的标志物。两种疫苗在抗体反应方面没有差异。在健康成年人(但非老年人)人群中,年龄和性别依赖性最小。我们的研究结果表明,疫苗接种后抗体反应检测是一种重要且可行的工具,可用于跟踪接种后的人群,并选择可能需要更早接种第三剂疫苗的个体,或由于先前 SARS-CoV-2 感染而可能不需要第二剂疫苗的个体。现在,COVID-19 的授权疫苗已广泛使用,了解它们如何诱导抗病毒抗体、针对哪些抗原、抗体循环时间以及个人健康状况和年龄如何影响这种体液免疫非常重要。在这里,我们报告了健康个体接种辉瑞和 Moderna mRNA 疫苗后多种抗 SARS-CoV-2 抗体反应的诱导和时间过程。我们还确定了抗体反应的年龄和性别依赖性,并将抗体水平与从 COVID-19 中康复的人的反应进行了比较。我们的研究结果表明,接种后对多种抗原的抗体反应进行筛查以揭示需要早期和晚期额外加强的个体以及由于先前 SARS-CoV-2 感染而不需要第二剂疫苗的个体非常重要。
