The new Nuvaxovid protein-based and Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA-based vaccines targeting Omicron XBB.1.5 were available during the 2023-2024 autumn/winter vaccination campaign for frail individuals, including people with HIV (PWH). We assessed the immune response in 51 PWH on stable ART who received a booster with either the Nuvaxovid protein-based ( = 25) or Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA-based XBB.1.5 vaccine ( = 26). The median age was 57 years (IQR 51-65), the median count of CD4 at T0 was 652/mmc (503-935), and CD4 nadir was 226/mmc (95-340). Samples were collected before (T0) and one month after (T1) the booster. We measured neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) titers against D614G, XBB.1.6, and JN.1 variants and T-cell IFN-γ levels produced upon specific stimulation. Regardless of the vaccine used, we observed a marked increase in nAbs titers from T0 to T1 against all the subvariants, but no evidence for a change in IFN-γ release. After controlling for confounders, there was no evidence for a difference in the T0-T1 change in nAbs titers against XBB.1.16 and JN.1 by the type of vaccine, while Nuvaxovid determined a smaller increase in D614G nAbs ( = 0.008). The XBB.1.5 protein-based vaccine's immunogenicity as a fifth or later booster was comparable to the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine, particularly against recent Omicron variants.
新型基于蛋白质的诺瓦克斯奥密克戎疫苗(Nuvaxovid)和基于辉瑞 - 生物科技公司信使核糖核酸(mRNA)的针对奥密克戎XBB.1.5的疫苗,在2023 - 2024年秋冬针对包括艾滋病毒感染者(PWH)在内的体弱人群的疫苗接种活动中可用。我们评估了51名接受稳定抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)的艾滋病毒感染者的免疫反应,这些感染者接受了基于蛋白质的诺瓦克斯奥密克戎疫苗(n = 25)或基于辉瑞 - 生物科技公司mRNA的XBB.1.5疫苗(n = 26)的加强针接种。中位年龄为57岁(四分位间距51 - 65),T0时CD4细胞计数中位数为652/mm³(503 - 935),CD4细胞最低点计数为226/mm³(95 - 340)。在加强针接种前(T0)和接种后一个月(T1)采集样本。我们测量了针对D614G、XBB.1.6和JN.1变体的中和抗体(nAbs)滴度以及特异性刺激后产生的T细胞干扰素 - γ水平。无论使用哪种疫苗,我们都观察到从T0到T1针对所有亚变体的nAbs滴度显著增加,但没有证据表明干扰素 - γ释放有变化。在控制混杂因素后,没有证据表明不同类型疫苗在针对XBB.1.16和JN.1的nAbs滴度从T0到T1的变化上存在差异,而诺瓦克斯奥密克戎疫苗在D614G nAbs方面的增加较小(P = 0.008)。基于XBB.1.5蛋白质的疫苗作为第五剂或后续加强针的免疫原性与辉瑞 - 生物科技公司的mRNA疫苗相当,特别是针对最近的奥密克戎变体。
