Longitudinal effects of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection on imprinting of neutralizing antibody responses.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The impact of the infecting SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern (VOC) and the vaccination status was determined on the magnitude, breadth, and durability of the neutralizing antibody (nAb) profile in a longitudinal multicentre cohort study.

Methods

173 vaccinated and 56 non-vaccinated individuals were enrolled after SARS-CoV-2 Alpha, Delta, or Omicron infection and visited four times within 6 months and nAbs were measured for D614G, Alpha, Delta, BA.1, BA.2, BA.5, BQ.1.1, XBB.1.5 and JN.1.

Findings

Magnitude-breadth-analysis showed enhanced neutralization capacity in vaccinated individuals against multiple VOCs. Longitudinal analysis revealed sustained neutralization magnitude-breadth after antigenically distant Delta or Omicron breakthrough infection (BTI), with
