AdCLD-CoV19-1, a chimeric adenovirus-based severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine, was previously reported to elicit robust antibody responses in mice and non-human primates after a single dose. In this study, we conducted a systems serology analysis to investigate changes in humoral immune responses induced by varying doses of the AdCLD-CoV19-1 vaccine in a phase I clinical trial. Serum samples from participants receiving either a low or a high dose of the vaccine were analyzed for antibody features against prototype SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) domains (full-length S, S1, S2, and receptor binding domain), as well as Fc receptor binding and effector functions. While both low- and high-dose vaccines induced robust humoral immune responses following vaccination, the quality of antibody features differed between the dose groups. Notably, while no significant difference was observed between the groups in the induction of most S1-specific antibody features, the high-dose group exhibited higher levels of antibodies and a stronger Fc receptor binding response specific to the S2 antigen. Moreover, univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that the high-dose vaccine induced higher levels of S2-specific antibodies binding to FcγR2A and FcγR3B, closely associated with antibody-dependent neutrophil phagocytosis (ADNP). Further analysis using the Omicron BA.2 variant demonstrated that the high-dose group maintained significantly higher levels of IgG and FcγR3B binding to the S2 antigen and exhibited a significantly higher ADNP response for the S2 antigen compared with the low-dose group. These findings underscore the importance of considering diverse humoral immune responses when evaluating vaccine efficacy and provide insights for optimizing adenovirus vector-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccine doses.IMPORTANCEOptimization of vaccine dose is crucial for eliciting effective immune responses. In addition to neutralizing antibodies, non-neutralizing antibodies that mediate Fc-dependent effector functions play a key role in protection against various infectious diseases, including coronavirus disease 2019. Using a systems serology approach, we demonstrated significant dose-dependent differences in the humoral immune responses induced by the AdCLD-CoV19-1 chimeric adenovirus-based severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine, particularly against the SARS-CoV-2 spike 2 domain. These findings highlight the importance of assessing not only neutralizing antibody titers but also the quality and functionality of antibody responses when evaluating vaccine efficacy.
AdCLD-CoV19-1是一种基于嵌合腺病毒的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)疫苗,此前有报道称,单剂量接种后能在小鼠和非人灵长类动物中引发强烈的抗体反应。在本研究中,我们进行了系统血清学分析,以调查在一项I期临床试验中,不同剂量的AdCLD-CoV19-1疫苗诱导的体液免疫反应的变化。分析了接受低剂量或高剂量疫苗的参与者的血清样本,以检测针对原型SARS-CoV-2刺突(S)结构域(全长S、S1、S2和受体结合结构域)的抗体特征,以及Fc受体结合和效应功能。虽然低剂量和高剂量疫苗接种后均诱导了强烈的体液免疫反应,但剂量组之间的抗体特征质量有所不同。值得注意的是,虽然在大多数S1特异性抗体特征的诱导方面,两组之间未观察到显著差异,但高剂量组的抗体水平更高,且对S2抗原具有更强的Fc受体结合反应。此外,单变量和多变量分析显示,高剂量疫苗诱导的与FcγR2A和FcγR3B结合的S2特异性抗体水平更高,这与抗体依赖性中性粒细胞吞噬作用(ADNP)密切相关。使用奥密克戎BA.2变体进行的进一步分析表明,与低剂量组相比,高剂量组的IgG水平和与S2抗原结合的FcγR3B水平显著更高,且对S2抗原表现出显著更高的ADNP反应。这些发现强调了在评估疫苗效力时考虑多种体液免疫反应的重要性,并为优化基于腺病毒载体的SARS-CoV-2疫苗剂量提供了见解。
重要性 疫苗剂量的优化对于引发有效的免疫反应至关重要。除了中和抗体外,介导Fc依赖性效应功能的非中和抗体在预防包括2019冠状病毒病在内的各种传染病中起着关键作用。通过系统血清学方法,我们证明了基于嵌合腺病毒的AdCLD-CoV19-1严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)疫苗诱导的体液免疫反应存在显著的剂量依赖性差异,尤其是针对SARS-CoV-2刺突2结构域。这些发现突出了在评估疫苗效力时,不仅要评估中和抗体滴度,还要评估抗体反应的质量和功能的重要性。
