Hybrid B- and T-Cell Immunity Associates With Protection Against Breakthrough Infection After Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Vaccination in Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) Participants.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Immunological memory to vaccination and viral infection involves the coordinated action of B and T cells; thus, integrated analysis of these 2 components is critical for understanding their respective contributions to protection against breakthrough infections (BIs) after vaccination.

Methods

We investigated cellular and humoral immune responses to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and/or vaccination in 300 adult participants from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC). Participants were grouped by those with (cases) and without (controls) a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection. To provide a quantitative correlate for protection against BI in the 8-month period after the study, Youden index thresholds were calc
