Monkeypox virus (MPXV) has recently caused a global disease outbreak in humans. Differences in the neutralizing antibody response to vaccination versus MPXV infection remain poorly understood. Here, we examined the neutralization of MPXV and vaccinia virus by sera from a cohort of convalescent and vaccinated individuals at 1 and 8 months postexposure. Convalescent individuals displayed higher neutralizing antibody titers against MPXV than vaccinated and MPXV-naive persons at 1 month postexposure. Neutralizing antibody titers had waned significantly in both groups at 8 months. This study suggests that additional vaccine strategies are needed to elicit a durable humoral response and prevent breakthrough infections.
猴痘病毒(MPXV)最近在人类中引发了全球疾病爆发。针对疫苗接种与MPXV感染的中和抗体反应差异仍知之甚少。在此,我们检测了一组恢复期和接种疫苗个体在暴露后1个月和8个月时血清对MPXV和痘苗病毒的中和作用。在暴露后1个月,恢复期个体对MPXV的中和抗体滴度高于接种疫苗个体和未接触过MPXV的个体。在8个月时,两组的中和抗体滴度均显著下降。这项研究表明,需要额外的疫苗策略来引发持久的体液反应并预防突破性感染。
