BMC Nephrol 2024; 25:176. [PMID: 38778281 PMCID: PMC11112903 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-024-03599-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic kidney disease on haemodialysis (HD) were given priority COVID-19 vaccination due to increased disease risk. The immune response to COVID-19 vaccination in patients on HD was diminished compared to healthy individuals in 2-dose studies. This study aimed to evaluate seroconversion rate, neutralizing antibody (nAB) levels and longitudinal antibody dynamics to 3-dose heterologous vaccination against COVID-19 in a cohort of HD patients compared to healthy controls and assess patient factors associated with antibody levels. METHODS This study was a case-control longitudinal evaluation of nAB dynamics in 74 HD patients compared to 37 healthy controls in a low/middle income setting. Corresponding samples were obtained from the two cohorts at time-points (TP) 1-1-month post 2nd dose of AZD1222 vaccine, TP2- 4 months post 2nd dose, TP4- 2 weeks post 3rd dose with BNT162b2 vaccine, TP5-5 months post 3rd dose and TP6-12 months post 3rd dose. Additional data is available at TP0- pre 2nd dose and TP3- 6 months post 2nd dose in HC and HD cohorts respectively. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 nAB were detected using Genscript cPassTM pseudoviral neutralization kit. Demographic and clinical details were obtained using an interviewer administered questionnaire. RESULTS Cohorts were gender matched while mean age of the HD cohort was 54.1yrs (vs HCs mean age, 42.6yrs, p < 0.05). Percentage seroconverted and mean/median antibody level (MAB) in the HD cohort vs HCs at each sampling point were, TP1-83.7% vs 100% (p < 0.05), MAB-450 IU/ml vs 1940 IU/ml (p < 0.0001); TP2-71.4% vs 100%, (p < 0.001), MAB- 235 IU/ml vs 453 IU/ml, (p < 0.05); TP4-95.2% vs 100% (p > 0.05), MAB-1029 IU/ml vs 1538 IU/ml (p < 0.0001); TP5-100% vs 100%, MAB-1542 IU/ml vs 1741IU/ml (p > 0.05); TP6-100% vs 100%, MAB-1961 IU/ml vs 2911 IU/ml (p > 0.05). At TP2, patients aged < 60 years (p < 0.001) were associated with maintaining seropositivity compared to patients > 60 years. CONCLUSION Two dose vaccination of haemodialysis patients provided poor nAB levels which improved markedly following 3rd dose vaccination, the effect of which was long- lasting with high nAB levels in both patients and controls detectable at 1 year follow-up.

Abstract
Although most Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients can recover fully, the disease remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. In addition to the consequences of acute infection, a proportion of the population experiences long-term adverse effects associated with SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, it is still critical to comprehend the virus's characteristics and how it interacts with its host to develop effective drugs and vaccines against COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, a replication-deficient recombinant glycoprotein chimeric viral particle, enables investigations of highly pathogenic viruses to be conducted without the constraint of high-level biosafety facilities, considerably advancing virology and being extensively employed in the study of SARS-CoV-2. This review summarizes three methods of establishing SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus and current knowledge in vaccine development, neutralizing antibody research, and antiviral drug screening, as well as recent progress in virus entry mechanism and susceptible cell screening. We also discuss the potential advantages and disadvantages.

Shen CF, Fu YC, Ho TS, Chen PL, Lee NY, Tsai BY, Tsai PJ, Ko WC, Liu CC, Cheng CM, Shieh CC. Pre-existing humoral immunity and CD4 + T cell response correlate with cross-reactivity against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants after heterologous prime-boost vaccination. Clin Immunol 2023; 251:109342. [PMID: 37100338 PMCID: PMC10124102 DOI: 10.1016/j.clim.2023.109342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Revised: 04/17/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Information regarding the heterologous prime-boost COVID vaccination has been fully elucidated. The study aimed to evaluate both humoral, cellular immunity and cross-reactivity against variants after heterologous vaccination. METHODS We recruited healthcare workers previously primed with Oxford/AstraZeneca ChAdOx1-S vaccines and boosted with Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine boost to evaluate the immunological response. Assay used: anti-spike RBD antibody, surrogate virus neutralizing antibody and interferon-γ release assay. RESULTS All participants exhibited higher humoral and cellular immune response after the booster regardless of prior antibody level, but those with higher antibody level demonstrated stronger booster response, especially against omicron BA.1 and BA.2 variants. The pre-booster IFN-γ release by CD4+ T cells correlates with post-booster neutralizing antibody against BA.1 and BA.2 variant after adjustment with age and gender. CONCLUSIONS A heterologous mRNA boost is highly immunogenic. The pre-existing neutralizing antibody level and CD4+ T cells response correlates with post-booster neutralization reactivity against the Omicron variant.
