Whether immunocompromising conditions affect the immunogenicity of COVID-19 booster vaccination remains a concern, which impedes the vaccination campaign in people most vulnerable to COVID-19-associated morbidity and mortality. We aimed to evaluate the effect of immune dysfunction on immunogenicity of homologous and heterologous prime-boost COVID-19 vaccination.
Between July and August, 2021, 399 participants were randomized to receive ChAdOx1/ChAdOx1 8 weeks apart, ChAdOx1/mRNA-1273 8 weeks apart, ChAdOx1/mRNA-1273 4 weeks apart, and mRNA-1273/mRNA-1273 4 weeks apart. The anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike IgG antibody titers on the day before booster vaccination and 4 weeks after booster vaccination were compared between participants with and without immunocompromising conditions.
Among ChAdOx1-primed participants, a trend of lower anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike IgG titers before booster vaccination were found in participants with autoimmune diseases (geometric means, 34.76 vs. 84.25 binding antibody units [BAU]/mL, P = 0.173), compared to those without. Participants receiving immunosuppressants and/or immunomodulators had significant lower anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike IgG titers before booster vaccination than those without (geometric means, 36.39 vs. 83.84 BAU/mL; P = 0.001). Among mRNA-1273-boosted participants, anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike IgG titers 4 weeks after booster vaccination were similar across all the strata. Participants with autoimmune diseases and receiving immunosuppressants and/or immunomodulators, had numerically lower anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike IgG titers 4 weeks after booster vaccination compared to those without (geometric means, 1474.34 vs. 1923.23 and 1590.61 vs. 1918.38 BAU/mL; P > 0.05).
The immunogenicity of prime vaccination with ChAdOx1 decreased by immune dysfunction, but enhanced after receiving boost vaccination with mRNA-1273. Our study results support the efficacy of mRNA-1273 booster dose among immunocompromised hosts.
免疫功能低下是否会影响 COVID-19 加强针疫苗的免疫原性仍然是一个关注点,这阻碍了最容易受到 COVID-19 相关发病率和死亡率影响的人群的疫苗接种活动。我们旨在评估免疫功能障碍对同源和异源初级加强 COVID-19 疫苗接种的免疫原性的影响。
2021 年 7 月至 8 月,399 名参与者被随机分配接受间隔 8 周的 ChAdOx1/ChAdOx1、间隔 8 周的 ChAdOx1/mRNA-1273、间隔 4 周的 ChAdOx1/mRNA-1273 和间隔 4 周的 mRNA-1273/mRNA-1273。在加强针接种前一天和加强针接种后 4 周,比较有和无免疫功能低下情况的参与者的抗 SARS-CoV-2 刺突 IgG 抗体滴度。
在 ChAdOx1 初免参与者中,与无自身免疫性疾病的参与者相比,自身免疫性疾病参与者的加强针前抗 SARS-CoV-2 刺突 IgG 滴度呈下降趋势(几何平均,34.76 与 84.25 结合抗体单位 [BAU]/mL,P=0.173)。接受免疫抑制剂和/或免疫调节剂的参与者与无免疫抑制剂和/或免疫调节剂的参与者相比,加强针前抗 SARS-CoV-2 刺突 IgG 滴度显著降低(几何平均,36.39 与 83.84 BAU/mL;P=0.001)。在接受 mRNA-1273 加强针的参与者中,加强针后 4 周的抗 SARS-CoV-2 刺突 IgG 滴度在所有分层中均相似。与无免疫功能低下情况的参与者相比,有自身免疫性疾病和接受免疫抑制剂和/或免疫调节剂的参与者加强针后 4 周的抗 SARS-CoV-2 刺突 IgG 滴度数值较低(几何平均,1474.34 与 1923.23 和 1590.61 与 1918.38 BAU/mL;P>0.05)。
ChAdOx1 初免的免疫原性因免疫功能障碍而降低,但接受 mRNA-1273 加强针后增强。我们的研究结果支持在免疫功能低下宿主中使用 mRNA-1273 加强剂量的有效性。
