Subjects with previous COVID-19 have augmented post-vaccination responses. However, the antibody response in COVID-naïve subjects from Southeast Asia is not well known.
77 COVID-naïve vaccinees were tested with a full antibody panel [spike antibodies (total (T-Ab), IgG, IgM) and neutralizing antibodies (N-Ab)] pre-vaccination, 10 days after dose 1, and 20/40/60/90/120/150/180 days after dose 2.
10 days after dose 1, 67.6% (48/71)/69.0% (49/71) were T-Ab/IgG positive; only 15.5% (11/71)/14.1% (10/71) were N-Ab/IgM positive. While all (100%) subjects had brisk T-Ab, IgG and N-Ab antibody responses 20 days after complete vaccination, only 79.1% (53/67) were IgM positive. At 180 days ( = 8), T-Ab/IgG/N-Ab were still reactive (lowest T-Ab 186 U/mL, IgG 617 AU/mL, N-Ab 0.39 µg/mL), but IgM was negative in all samples. Spike antibody thresholds of T-Ab 74.1 U/mL (r = 0.95) and IgG 916 AU/mL (r = 0.95) corresponded to N-Ab reactivity (>0.3 µg/mL). Non-linear regression analysis showed that N-Ab would decrease to 0.3 µg/mL by 241 days, whereas T-Ab/IgG would need 470/163 days to reach titers of T-Ab/IgG associated with a N-Ab 0.3 µg/mL (76.4 U/mL and 916 AU/mL respectively).
The antibody responses of T-Ab, IgG and N-Ab remain high and durable even at 180 days. N-Ab titers are expected to remain reactive up to 241 days post-vaccination.
既往感染过新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)的受试者接种疫苗后的反应增强。然而,东南亚未感染过COVID-19的受试者的抗体反应尚不清楚。
对77名未感染过COVID-19的疫苗接种者在接种前、第1剂疫苗接种后10天以及第2剂疫苗接种后20/40/60/90/120/150/180天进行了全抗体检测[刺突抗体(总抗体(T-Ab)、IgG、IgM)和中和抗体(N-Ab)]。
第1剂疫苗接种后10天,67.6%(48/71)/69.0%(49/71)的受试者T-Ab/IgG呈阳性;只有15.5%(11/71)/14.1%(10/71)的受试者N-Ab/IgM呈阳性。在完成疫苗接种20天后,所有(100%)受试者的T-Ab、IgG和N-Ab抗体反应均活跃,只有79.1%(53/67)的受试者IgM呈阳性。在180天(n = 8)时,T-Ab/IgG/N-Ab仍有反应(最低T-Ab为186 U/mL,IgG为617 AU/mL,N-Ab为0.39 µg/mL),但所有样本中的IgM均为阴性。T-Ab阈值74.1 U/mL(r = 0.95)和IgG阈值916 AU/mL(r = 0.95)对应N-Ab反应性(>0.3 µg/mL)。非线性回归分析显示,N-Ab在241天时将降至0.3 µg/mL,而T-Ab/IgG分别需要470/163天才能达到与N-Ab 0.3 µg/mL(分别为76.4 U/mL和916 AU/mL)相关的T-Ab/IgG滴度。
即使在180天时,T-Ab、IgG和N-Ab的抗体反应仍然很高且持久。预计N-Ab滴度在疫苗接种后241天内仍有反应。
