In a phase 1 clinical trial, a chimeric hemagglutinin (cHA) immunogen induced antibody responses against the conserved hemagglutinin (HA) stalk domain as designed. Here, we determined the specificity, function, and subsets of B cells induced by cHA vaccination by pairing single-cell RNA sequencing and B cell receptor repertoire sequencing. We have shown that the cHA-inactivated vaccine with a squalene-based adjuvant induced a robust activated B cell and memory B cell (MBC) phenotype against two broadly neutralizing epitopes in the stalk domain. The overall specificities of the acute plasmablast (PB) and MBC responses clonally overlapped, suggesting B cell convergence to these broadly protective epitopes. At 1 year post immunization, we identified that cHA vaccination reshaped the HA-specific MBC pool to enrich for stalk-binding B cells. Altogether, these data indicate the cHA vaccine induced robust and durable B cell responses against broadly protective epitopes of the HA stalk domain, in line with serological data.
在一项1期临床试验中,一种嵌合血凝素(cHA)免疫原按设计诱导了针对保守血凝素(HA)茎干结构域的抗体反应。在此,我们通过将单细胞RNA测序与B细胞受体库测序相结合,确定了cHA疫苗接种诱导的B细胞的特异性、功能和亚群。我们已经表明,含有基于角鲨烯佐剂的cHA灭活疫苗诱导了针对茎干结构域中两个广泛中和表位的强大活化B细胞和记忆B细胞(MBC)表型。急性浆母细胞(PB)和MBC反应的总体特异性在克隆水平上重叠,表明B细胞趋同于这些广泛保护性表位。免疫后1年,我们发现cHA疫苗接种重塑了HA特异性MBC库,以富集与茎干结合的B细胞。总之,这些数据表明cHA疫苗诱导了针对HA茎干结构域广泛保护性表位的强大而持久的B细胞反应,与血清学数据一致。
