Project description:The study examined antibody and memory B cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA booster vaccination in the elderly and showed a decrease in memory B cell numbers with an altered antibody repertoire that may contribute to a higher risk for severe disease in the elderly.
Project description:To compare the effects of different types of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in booster immunization in Elderly Adults, this study established a population cohort vaccinated with inactivated vaccine and protein subunit vaccine as the third booster vaccine in Elderly Adults over 70 Years of Age, respectively. We collected serum and PBMC samples from participants, and performed a systematic review of distinct antibody signatures and microtranscriptomics to provide data support for booster immunization.
Project description:In this study, we performed a systems-level analysis of immune responses to the trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine adjuvanted with MF-59 in children (15-24 months old) and in young healthy adults. We analyzed transcriptional responses elicited by vaccination in peripheral blood, as well as cellular and antibody responses following primary and booster vaccinations. The pediatric population is a major target of vaccination, yet there is a paucity of studies on the transcriptional response of immunity to vaccination in this special population. In this study, we performed a systems-level analysis of immune responses to the trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine adjuvanted with MF-59 in children (15-24 months old) and in young healthy adults. We analyzed transcriptional responses elicited by vaccination in peripheral blood, as well as cellular and antibody responses following primary and booster vaccinations. Our analysis revealed that primary vaccination induced a persistent transcriptional signature of innate immunity; booster vaccination induced a transcriptional signature of an enhanced memory-like innate response, which was consistent with enhanced activation of myeloid cells assessed by FACS. Furthermore, we identified a transcriptional signature of type 1 IFN response post booster vaccination and at baseline that was correlated with the local reactogenicity to vaccination, and defined an early signature of the hemagglutinin antibody titers. These results highlight an adaptive behavior of the innate immune system in evoking a memory-like response to secondary vaccination and define molecular correlates of reactogenicity and immunogenicity in infants.
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to compare the transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) of central memory CD4 T cells among young and elderly samples from healthy donors and SARS-CoV-2 subjects.
Project description:mRNA vaccines against the Spike glycoprotein of severe acute respiratory syndrome type 2 coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) elicit strong T-cell responses. However, it is unknown whether the repertoire of memory T cell clones changes between primary and secondary vaccinations. Here, we analyzed the kinetic profile of Spike-reactive T-cell clones before the first dose, one week after the first and second dose, and four weeks after the second dose of the BNT162b mRNA vaccine. Interestingly, a new set of Spike-reactive CD8+ T cell clones exhibited the greatest expansion following secondary vaccination and replaced the clones that had responded to the primary vaccination. Single-cell mRNA/protein/TCR analysis revealed that the first-responder clones exhibited a terminally differentiated phenotype, whereas second-responder clones exhibited an actively proliferating phenotype. These results show that Spike-reactive T cell responses induced by repetitive mRNA vaccination are augmented and maintained by replacement with newly-generated clones with proliferative potential.
