Abstract

The SARS-CoV-2 virus poses a significant risk to immunocompromised patients, who display weakened immunity and reduced seroconversion following infection and vaccination. In this study, we recruited 19 hospitalized patients with immune disorders (ImCo) and 4 immunocompetent controls (ICC) with COVID-19. We evaluated their serological, humoral, and cellular immune responses at <30 days and >90 days post-symptom onset. ICC patients showed robust B and T cell responses against SARS-CoV-2, indicated by detectable antibody levels, memory antibody-secreting cells (mASCs) towards the spike protein and spike-specific CD4 and CD8 T cells. ImCo patients showed impaired immune responses, with lower levels of B cell responses. Further subdivision of the ImCo patients demonstrates that solid organ transplant (SOT) patients generated B cell responses similar to ICC patients, whereas the other ImCo patients, including patients with hematological malignancies and anti-CD20 therapy, did not. Absolute T cell numbers and spike-specific CD4 and CD8 T cell responses were low in the ImCo patients at <30 days but increased at later time points. Our findings suggest that even when B cell responses were reduced, patients could present a T cell response, suggesting a more successful line of passive immunization for immunocompromised individuals focusing on boosting T cell responses.

摘要

严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)病毒对免疫功能低下的患者构成重大风险,这些患者在感染和接种疫苗后免疫力减弱,血清转化降低。在本研究中,我们招募了19名因免疫紊乱而住院的COVID-19患者(免疫紊乱组,ImCo)和4名免疫功能正常的对照者(免疫功能正常对照组,ICC)。我们在症状出现后<30天和>90天评估了他们的血清学、体液和细胞免疫反应。ICC患者对SARS-CoV-2表现出强大的B细胞和T细胞反应,可检测到的抗体水平、针对刺突蛋白的记忆抗体分泌细胞(mASC)以及刺突特异性CD4和CD8 T细胞表明了这一点。ImCo患者的免疫反应受损,B细胞反应水平较低。对ImCo患者的进一步细分表明,实体器官移植(SOT)患者产生的B细胞反应与ICC患者相似,而其他ImCo患者,包括血液系统恶性肿瘤患者和接受抗CD20治疗的患者则没有。ImCo患者在<30天时绝对T细胞数量以及刺突特异性CD4和CD8 T细胞反应较低,但在后期时间点有所增加。我们的研究结果表明,即使B细胞反应降低,患者仍可能出现T细胞反应,这表明针对免疫功能低下个体的更成功的被动免疫方法是专注于增强T细胞反应。
