We described the long-term decay of neutralizing antibody (NtAb) to the wild-type and Delta SARS-CoV-2 variant after three antigen stimulations (mild or asymptomatic natural infection followed by two doses of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine after a median of 296 days) in immunocompetent healthcare workers (HCWs). Live virus microneutralization against the B.1 and Delta SARS-CoV-2 variants was performed in VERO E6 cell cultures. The median NtAb titers for B.1 and Delta were comparable and highly correlated at both 20 and 200 days after the second vaccine dose in the 23 HCWs enrolled (median age, 46 years). A small group of naturally infected unvaccinated HCWs had comparable NtAb titers for the two strains after a median follow-up of 522 days from infection diagnosis. The NtAb response to the Delta VoC appears to follow the same long-term dynamics as the wild-type response regardless of the vaccinal boost; data collected after three antigen stimulations (natural infection followed by two doses of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine) may be helpful for tailoring the continuous monitoring of vaccine protection against SARS-CoV-2 variants over time.
我们描述了免疫功能正常的医护人员(HCW)在三次抗原刺激(轻度或无症状自然感染,随后在中位时间296天后接种两剂BNT162b2 mRNA疫苗)后,针对野生型和Delta SARS-CoV-2变体的中和抗体(NtAb)的长期衰减情况。在VERO E6细胞培养物中对B.1和Delta SARS-CoV-2变体进行了活病毒微量中和试验。在纳入的23名医护人员(中位年龄46岁)中,第二次疫苗接种后20天和200天时,针对B.1和Delta的NtAb滴度中位数具有可比性且高度相关。一小部分自然感染但未接种疫苗的医护人员,从感染诊断起中位随访522天后,针对这两种毒株的NtAb滴度具有可比性。无论是否有疫苗加强接种,针对Delta变异株的NtAb反应似乎都遵循与野生型反应相同的长期动态变化;三次抗原刺激(自然感染后接种两剂BNT162b2 mRNA疫苗)后收集的数据可能有助于制定针对SARS-CoV-2变体的疫苗保护随时间的持续监测方案。
