Data on SARS-CoV-2 vaccine immunogenicity in PLWH are currently limited. Aim of the study was to investigate immunogenicity according to current CD4 T-cell count.
PLWH on ART attending a SARS-CoV-2 vaccination program, were included in a prospective immunogenicity evaluation after receiving BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273. Participants were stratified by current CD4 T-cell count (poor CD4 recovery, PCDR: <200/mm3; intermediate CD4 recovery, ICDR: 200-500/mm3; high CD4 recovery, HCDR: >500/mm3). RBD-binding IgG, SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) and IFN-γ release were measured. As control group, HIV-negative healthcare workers (HCWs) were used.
Among 166 PLWH, after 1 month from the booster dose, detectable RBD-binding IgG were elicited in 86.7% of PCDR, 100% of ICDR, 98.7% of HCDR, and a neutralizing titre ≥1:10 elicited in 70.0%, 88.2%, and 93.1%, respectively. Compared to HCDR, all immune response parameters were significantly lower in PCDR. After adjusting for confounders, current CD4 T-cell <200/mm3 significantly predicted a poor magnitude of anti-RDB, nAbs and IFN-γ response. As compared with HCWs, PCDR elicited a consistently reduced immunogenicity for all parameters, ICDR only a reduced RBD-binding antibody response, whereas HCDR elicited a comparable immune response for all parameters.
Humoral and cell-mediated immune response against SARS-CoV-2 were elicited in most of PLWH, albeit significantly poorer in those with CD4 T-cell <200/mm3 versus those with >500 cell/mm3 and HIV-negative controls. A lower RBD-binding antibody response than HCWs was also observed in PLWH with CD4 T-cell 200-500/mm3, whereas immune response elicited in PLWH with a CD4 T-cell >500/mm3 was comparable to HIV-negative population.
目前关于艾滋病毒感染者中新型冠状病毒2型疫苗免疫原性的数据有限。本研究的目的是根据当前的CD4 T细胞计数调查免疫原性。
参加新型冠状病毒2型疫苗接种计划的接受抗逆转录病毒治疗的艾滋病毒感染者在接种BNT162b2或mRNA-1273后纳入前瞻性免疫原性评估。参与者按当前CD4 T细胞计数分层(CD4恢复差,PCDR:<200/mm³;CD4恢复中等,ICDR:200 - 500/mm³;CD4恢复良好,HCDR:>500/mm³)。检测RBD结合IgG、新型冠状病毒2型中和抗体(nAbs)和IFN-γ释放。作为对照组,使用了HIV阴性医护人员(HCW)。
在166名艾滋病毒感染者中,加强剂量后1个月,PCDR组中86.7%、ICDR组中100%、HCDR组中98.7%可检测到RBD结合IgG,中和滴度≥1:10的分别为70.0%、88.2%和93.1%。与HCDR组相比,PCDR组的所有免疫反应参数均显著较低。在调整混杂因素后,当前CD4 T细胞<200/mm³显著预测抗RDB、nAbs和IFN-γ反应的强度较差。与医护人员相比,PCDR组所有参数的免疫原性持续降低,ICDR组仅RBD结合抗体反应降低,而HCDR组所有参数的免疫反应相当。
大多数艾滋病毒感染者对新型冠状病毒2型产生了体液和细胞介导的免疫反应,尽管CD4 T细胞<200/mm³的感染者与CD4 T细胞>500/mm³的感染者及HIV阴性对照组相比明显较差。CD4 T细胞为200 - 500/mm³的艾滋病毒感染者中也观察到RBD结合抗体反应低于医护人员,而CD4 T细胞>500/mm³的艾滋病毒感染者引发的免疫反应与HIV阴性人群相当。
