Comparative global B cell receptor repertoire difference induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination via single-cell V(D)J sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Dynamic changes of the paired heavy and light chain B cell receptor (BCR) repertoire provide an essential insight into understanding the humoral immune response post-SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination. However, differences between the endogenous paired BCR repertoire kinetics in SARS-CoV-2 infection and previously recovered/naïve subjects treated with the inactivated vaccine remain largely unknown. We performed single-cell V(D)J sequencing of B cells from six healthy donors with three shots of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (BBIBP-CorV), five people who received the BBIBP-CorV vaccine after having recovered from COVID-19, five unvaccinated COVID-19 recovered patients and then integrated with public data of B cells from four SARS-CoV-2-infected subjects. We discovered that BCR variable (V
