CD4+ T cells exhibit distinct transcriptional phenotypes in the lymph nodes and blood following mRNA vaccination in humans

ABSTRACT: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and mRNA vaccination induce robust CD4+ T cell responses. Using single-cell transcriptomics, here, we evaluated CD4+ T cells specific for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in the blood and draining lymph nodes (dLNs) of individuals 3 months and 6 months after vaccination with the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine. We analyzed 1,277 spike-specific CD4+ T cells, including 238 defined using Trex, a deep learning-based reverse epitope mapping method to predict antigen specificity. Human dLN spike-specific CD4+ follicular helper T (TFH) cells exhibited heterogeneous phenotypes, including germinal center CD4+ TFH cells and CD4+IL-10+ TFH cells. Analysis of an independent cohort of SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals 3 months and 6 months after infection found spike-specific CD4+ T cell profiles in blood that were distinct from those detected in blood 3 months and 6 months after BNT162b2 vaccination. Our findings provide an atlas of human spike-specific CD4+ T cell transcriptional phenotypes in the dLNs and blood following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination or infection.

scRNA-seq, V(D)J seq, CITE-seq, LIBRA-seq of human CD4+, CD8+ and B lymphocytes PBMCs of 5 donors (3 SARS-CoV-2 experienced and 2 SARS-Cov-2 Naive) before and following two doses of Pfizer/BioNTech BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine

Project description:The experiment aims at characterizing the immune responses elicited by the BNT162b2 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, initially administered in a two dose regimen (second dose after three weeks followinf the first dose) In particular the transcriptional landscape of circulating T and B lymphocytes has been profiled longitudinnaly by scRNA-seq coupleD with CITE-seq of 19 cell surface markers to better classify T cells subpopulations, LIBRA-seq to assess the Spike-specificity of BCRs and and V(D)J seq to also track T and B cell clones dynamics. Eeach sample was profiled before vaccination (T0), 21 days after the first dose (T1), 2 months after the first dose (1 month after the second dose) (T2). The immune responses were characterized using PBMC from 3 SARS-CoV-2 experienced donors (experiencing SARS-Cov-2 at least 4 months before the first vaccinatin) and 2 SARS-CoV-2 unexperienced donors.

Heterologous ChAdOx1-BNT162b2 vaccination in Korean cohort induces robust immune and antibody responses that includes Omicron

Project description:Heterologous ChAdOx1-BNT162b2 vaccination induces a stronger immune response than BNT162b2-BNT162b2. Here we investigated the molecular transcriptome, germline allelic variants of immunoglobulin loci, and anti-Omicron antibody levels in 46 office and lab workers from the Republic of Korea following ChAdOx1-BNT162b2 vaccination. Anti-spike-specific IgG antibody levels against the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 strain increased from 70 AU/ml to 14,000 AU/ml to 142,000 AU/ml one, three and seven days following the second vaccination. Titers against VOC, including Omicron, were two- to three-fold lower, yet higher than those measured following BNT162b2-BNT162b2 vaccination. RNA-seq of peripheral immune cells demonstrated activation of interferon pathways with increased IGHV clonal transcripts encoding neutralizing antibodies. scRNA-seq revealed enriched B cell and CD4+ T cell responses in both ChAdOx1-BNT162b2 and BNT162b2-BNT162b2 recipients, but a stronger clonal expansion of memory B cells with ChAdOx1-BNT162b2. In summary, heterologous ChAdOx1-BNT162b2 provides an innate and adaptive immune response that exceeds homologous BNT162b2 vaccination.

T cell responses in SARS-CoV-2 vaccinees with sustained or declined antibody titer

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have been used worldwide to combat COVID-19 pandemic. To elucidate the factors that determine the longevity of spike (S)-specific antibodies, we traced the characteristics of S-specific T cell clonotypes together with their epitopes and anti-S antibody titers before and after BNT162b2 vaccination over time. T cell receptor (TCR) alpha/beta sequences and mRNA expression of the S-responded T cells were investigated using single-cell TCR- and RNA-sequencing. In donors exhibiting sustained anti-S antibody titers (designated as “sustainers”), S-reactive T cell clonotypes detected immediately after 2nd vaccination polarized to follicular helper T (Tfh) cells, which was less obvious in “decliners”. Even before vaccination, S-reactive CD4+ T cell clonotypes did exist, most of which cross-reacted with environmental or symbiotic bacteria. However, these clonotypes contracted after vaccination. Conversely, S-reactive clonotypes dominated after vaccination were undetectable in pre-vaccinated T cell pool, suggesting that highly-responding S-reactive T cells were established by vaccination from rare clonotypes. These results suggest that de novo acquisition of memory Tfh cells upon vaccination contributes to the longevity of anti-S antibody titers.

Heterologous ChAdOx1-BNT162b2 vaccination in a Korean cohort induces a robust genetic immune and antibody response that includes Omicron [RNA_seq]

Project description:Heterologous ChAdOx1-BNT162b2 vaccination induces a stronger immune response than two doses of BNT162b2. Yet, the molecular transcriptome, the germline allelic variants of immunoglobulin loci and anti-Omicron antibody levels induced by the heterologous vaccination have not been formally investigated. Moreover, there is a paucity of COVID-19 vaccine studies including diverse genetic populations. Here, we show a robust molecular immune transcriptome and antibody repertoire in 46 office and lab workers from the Republic of Korea after heterologous vaccination, ChAdOx1 followed by BNT162b2. Anti-spike-specific IgG antibody levels against the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 strain increased from 70 AU/ml immediately following the first vaccination to 14,000 U/ml within three days after the second vaccination and 142,000 AU/ml after seven days. Antibody titers against more recent variants, including Omicron, were two- to three-fold lower, yet higher than those obtained after the second dose of a BNT162b2-BNT162b2 homologous vaccination. RNA-seq conducted on peripheral immune cells demonstrated a strong activation of interferon-induced genetic programs in the heterologous cohort and an increase of specific IGHV clonal transcripts encoding neutralizing antibodies was detected. Enrichment of B cell and CD4+ T cell responses was observed following both ChAdOx1-BNT162b2 heterologous and BNT162b2-BNT162b2 homologous vaccination using scRNA-seq, but clonally expanded memory B cells were relatively stronger in the heterologous cohort. In summary, a heterologous vaccination with ChAdOx1 followed by BNT162b2 provides an innate and adaptive immune response exceeding that seen in homologous BNT162b2 vaccination.

scRNA-seq data related to Booster mRNA vaccination post-SARS-CoV-2 infection enhances functional qualities of T cell immunity

Project description:We performed a study investigating donors previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic to understand how vaccination may reshape T cell populations formed after infection. 10 donors were investigated using single-cell RNA-sequencing consisting of a) 3 mild non-hospitalised donors, b) 3 severe hospitalised donors, c) 1 mild recently vaccinated donor and d) 3 recently convalescent donors. For each of these groups we sampled at the following timepoints a) 6-9 months and 18 months after infection, b) 6-9 months and 18 months after infection, c) 13 months and 15 months after infection and d) 35 days after infection. All donors were unvaccinated at the first time point and vaccinated at the second time point. We stimulated PBMC with an overlapping peptide pool derived from the spike glycoprotein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and sorted spike-specific CD4+ T cells (CD4+CD69+CD40L+) and spike-specific CD8+ T cells (CD8+CD69+4-1BB+) from every donor and time point using flow cytometry for 10X single-cell sequencing (5' protocol). Each time point from Dnr4868 was sequenced across two 10X reactions/libraries performed on the same day. Multiple samples were hashed and pooled together for sequencing using TotalSeq-C anti-human hashing antibodies from BioLegend. Individual library expression matrix files were generated using the CellRanger pipeline from 10X Genomics. The processed data file named immune.combined220929.rds is a Seurat Object containing all samples and generated using the Seurat package in R.

mRNA vaccination in octogenarian nuns 15 and 20 months after recovery from COVID-19 elicits robust immune and antibody responses that include Omicron

Project description:Knowledge about the impact of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection of the elderly on mRNA vaccination response is needed to appropriately address the demand for additional vaccinations in this vulnerable population. Here we show that octogenarians, a high-risk population, mount a sustained SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific IgG antibody response for 15 months following infection. This response boosts antibody levels 35-fold upon receiving a single dose of BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine 15 months after recovery from COVID-19. In contrast, antibody responses in naïve individuals boost only 6-fold after a second vaccine. Spike-specific ACE2 antibody binding responses in the previously infected octogenarians following two vaccine doses exceed those found in a naïve cohort after two doses. RNA-seq demonstrates activation of interferon-induced genetic programs, which persist only in the previously infected. A preferential increase of specific IGHV clonal transcripts that are the basis of neutralizing antibodies is observed only in the previously infected nuns.

Imbalance of regulatory and cytotoxic SARS-CoV-2-reactive CD4+ T cells in COVID-19

Project description:The contribution of CD4+ T cells to protective or pathogenic immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection remains unknown. Here, we present a large-scale single-cell transcriptomic analysis of viral antigen-reactive CD4+ T cells from 40 COVID-19 patients. In hospitalized patients compared to non-hospitalized patients, we found increased proportions of cytotoxic follicular helper (TFH) cells and cytotoxic T helper cells (CD4-CTLs) responding to SARS-CoV-2, and reduced proportion of SARS-CoV-2-reactive regulatory T cells (TREG). Importantly, in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, a strong cytotoxic TFH response was observed early in the illness which correlated negatively with antibody levels to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Polyfunctional T helper (TH)1 and TH17 cell subsets were underrepresented in the repertoire of SARS-CoV-2-reactive CD4+ T cells compared to influenza-reactive CD4+ T cells. Together, our analyses provide so far unprecedented insights into the gene expression patterns of SARS-CoV-2-reactive CD4+ T cells in distinct disease severities.

Class switch towards non-inflammatory, spike-specific IgG4 antibodies after repeated SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:RNA vaccines are efficient preventive measures to combat the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. High levels of neutralizing SARS-CoV-2-antibodies are an important component of vaccine-induced immunity. Shortly after the initial two mRNA vaccine doses, the IgG response mainly consists of the pro-inflammatory subclasses IgG1 and IgG3. Here, we report that several months after the second vaccination, SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies were increasingly composed of non-inflammatory IgG4, which were further boosted by a third mRNA vaccination and/or SARS-CoV-2 variant breakthrough infections. IgG4 antibodies among all spike-specific IgG antibodies rose on average from 0.04% shortly after the second vaccination to 19.27% late after the third vaccination. This induction of IgG4 antibodies was not observed after homologous or heterologous SARS-CoV-2 vaccination with adenoviral vectors. Single-cell sequencing and flow cytometry revealed substantial frequencies of IgG4-switched B cells within the spike-binding memory B-cell population (median 14.4%; interquartile range (ICR) 6.7-18.1%) compared to the overall memory B-cell repertoire (median 1.3%; ICR 0.9-2.2%) after three immunizations. Importantly, this class switch was associated with a reduced capacity of the spike-specific antibodies to mediate antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis and complement deposition. Since Fc-mediated effector functions are critical for antiviral immunity, these findings may have consequences for the choice and timing of vaccination regimens using mRNA vaccines, including future booster immunizations against SARS-CoV-2.
