Antibody responses elicited by current messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccines decline rapidly and require repeated boosting.
To evaluate the immunogenicity and durability of heterologous and homologous prime-boost regimens involving the adenovirus vector vaccine Ad26.COV2.S and the mRNA vaccine BNT162b2.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: In this cohort study at a single clinical site in Boston, Massachusetts, 68 individuals who were vaccinated at least 6 months previously with 2 immunizations of BNT162b2 were boosted with either Ad26.COV2.S or BNT162b2. Enrollment of participants occurred from August 12, 2021, to October 25, 2021, and this study involved 4 months of follow-up. Data analysis was performed from November 2021 to February 2022.
Participants who were previously vaccinated with BNT162b2 received a boost with either Ad26.COV2.S or BNT162b2.
Humoral immune responses were assessed by neutralizing, binding, and functional antibody responses for 16 weeks following the boost. CD8+ and CD4+ T-cell responses were evaluated by intracellular cytokine staining assays.
Among 68 participants who were originally vaccinated with BNT162b2 and boosted with Ad26.COV2.S (41 participants; median [range] age, 36 [23-84] years) or BNT162b2 (27 participants; median [range] age, 35 [23-76] years), 56 participants (82%) were female, 7 (10%) were Asian, 4 (6%) were Black, 4 (6%) were Hispanic or Latino, 3 (4%) were more than 1 race, and 53 (78%) were White. Both vaccines were found to be associated with increased humoral and cellular immune responses, including against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern. BNT162b2 boosting was associated with a rapid increase of Omicron neutralizing antibodies that peaked at a median (IQR) titer of 1018 (699-1646) at week 2 and declined by 6.9-fold to a median (IQR) titer of 148 (95-266) by week 16. Ad26.COV2.S boosting was associated with increased Omicron neutralizing antibodies titers that peaked at a median (IQR) of 859 (467-1838) week 4 and declined by 2.1-fold to a median (IQR) of 403 (208-1130) by week 16.
Heterologous Ad26.COV2.S boosting was associated with durable humoral and cellular immune responses in individuals who originally received the BNT162b2 vaccine. These data suggest potential benefits of heterologous prime-boost vaccine regimens for SARS-CoV-2.
当前信使 RNA(mRNA)COVID-19 疫苗引起的抗体反应迅速下降,需要反复加强。
评估腺病毒载体疫苗 Ad26.COV2.S 和 mRNA 疫苗 BNT162b2 的异源和同源加强方案的免疫原性和持久性。
设计、地点和参与者:在马萨诸塞州波士顿的一个单一临床地点进行的这项队列研究中,68 名至少在 6 个月前接受了 2 剂 BNT162b2 疫苗接种的参与者接受了 Ad26.COV2.S 或 BNT162b2 加强针。参与者的招募时间为 2021 年 8 月 12 日至 10 月 25 日,本研究涉及 4 个月的随访。数据分析于 2021 年 11 月至 2022 年 2 月进行。
先前接种过 BNT162b2 的参与者接受了 Ad26.COV2.S 或 BNT162b2 的加强针。
在加强针接种后 16 周,通过中和、结合和功能性抗体反应评估体液免疫反应。通过细胞内细胞因子染色测定评估 CD8+和 CD4+ T 细胞反应。
在最初接种 BNT162b2 并接受 Ad26.COV2.S(41 名参与者;中位[范围]年龄,36[23-84]岁)或 BNT162b2(27 名参与者;中位[范围]年龄,35[23-76]岁)加强针的 68 名参与者中,56 名(82%)为女性,7 名(10%)为亚洲人,4 名(6%)为黑人,4 名(6%)为西班牙裔或拉丁裔,3 名(4%)为多种族,53 名(78%)为白人。两种疫苗均与体液和细胞免疫反应增强相关,包括对关注的 SARS-CoV-2 变体的反应。BNT162b2 加强针与奥密克戎中和抗体的快速增加相关,其峰值在第 2 周的中位数(IQR)滴度为 1018(699-1646),到第 16 周下降了 6.9 倍,中位数(IQR)滴度为 148(95-266)。Ad26.COV2.S 加强针与奥密克戎中和抗体滴度增加相关,其峰值在第 4 周的中位数(IQR)为 859(467-1838),到第 16 周下降了 2.1 倍,中位数(IQR)为 403(208-1130)。
在最初接受 BNT162b2 疫苗接种的个体中,异源 Ad26.COV2.S 加强针与持久的体液和细胞免疫反应相关。这些数据表明 SARS-CoV-2 的异源疫苗接种方案可能具有益处。
