An extended SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine prime-boost interval enhances B cell immunity with limited impact on T cells.

ABSTRACT: Spacing the first two doses of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines beyond 3-4 weeks raised initial concerns about vaccine efficacy. While studies have since shown that long-interval regimens induce robust antibody responses, their impact on B and T cell immunity is poorly known. Here, we compare SARS-CoV-2 naive donors B and T cell responses to two mRNA vaccine doses administered 3-4 versus 16 weeks apart. After boost, the longer interval results in a higher magnitude and a more mature phenotype of RBD-specific B cells. While the two geographically distinct cohorts present quantitative and qualitative differences in T cell responses at baseline and after priming, the second dose led to convergent features with overall similar magnitude, phenotype, and function of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cell responses at post-boost memory time points. Therefore, compared to standard regimens, a 16-week interval has a favorable impact on the B cell compartment but minimally affects T cell immunity.

Project description:BackgroundHeterologous prime-boost SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is a widely accepted strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic, which generated a superior immune response than homologous vaccination strategy.ObjectiveTo describe immunogenicity of heterologous prime-boost vaccination with inactivated vaccine, CoronaVac, followed by BNT162b2 and 5-month booster dose with BNT162b2 in healthy Thai adolescents.MethodsAdolescents aged 12-18 years were randomized 1:1:1:1 to receive CoronaVac (SV) followed by BNT162b2 (PZ) 30 or 20 µg at either 3- or 6-week interval (SV3w/PZ30µg, SV3w/PZ20µg, SV6w/PZ30µg or SV6w/PZ20µg). During the Omicron-predominant period, participants were offered a BNT162b2 booster dose 30, 15, or 10 µg. Immunogenicity was determined using IgG antibody against spike-receptor-binding domain of wild type(anti-S-RBD IgG) and surrogate virus neutralization test(sVNT) against Delta variant at 14 days and 5 months after the 2nd dose. Neutralization tests(sVNT and pseudovirus neutralization test; pVNT) against Omicron strain were tested pre- and 14 days post-booster dose.ResultsIn October 2021, 76 adolescents with a median age of 14.3 years (IQR 12.7-16.0) were enrolled: 20 in SV3w/PZ30µg; 17 in SV3w/PZ20µg; 20 in SV6w/PZ30µg; 19 in SV6w/PZ20µg. At day 14, the geometric mean(GM) of anti-S-RBD IgG in SV3w/PZ30µg was 4713 (95 %CI 4127-5382) binding-antibody unit (BAU)/ml, while geometric mean ratio(GMR) was 1.28 (1.09-1.51) in SV6w/PZ30µg. The GMs of sVNT against Delta variants at day 14 among participants in SV3w/PZ30µg and SV6wk/PZ30µg arm were 95.3 % and 99.7 %inhibition, respectively. At 5 months, GMs of sVNT against Delta variants in SV3w/PZ30µg were significantly declined to 47.8 % but remained at 89.0 % inhibition among SV6w/PZ30µg arm. In April 2022, 52 adolescents received a BNT162b2 booster dose. Proportion of participants with sVNT against Omicron strain > 80 %inhibition was significantly increased from 3.8 % pre-booster to 67 % post-booster. Proportion of participants with pVNT ID50 > 185 was 42 % at 14 days post 2nd dose and 88 % post booster, respectively.ConclusionsHeterologous prime-boost vaccination with CoronaVac followed by BNT162b2 induced high neutralizing titer against SARS-CoV-2 Delta strain. After 5-month interval, booster with BNT162b2 induced high neutralizing titer against Omicron strain.Thai Clinical Trials Registry (thaiclinicaltrials.org): TCTR20210923012.

Project description:BackgroundDNA vaccines represent an attractive approach for cancer treatment by inducing active T cell and B cell immune responses to tumor antigens. Previous studies have shown that interleukin-13 receptor α2 chain (IL-13Rα2), a tumor-associated antigen is a promising target for cancer immunotherapy as high levels of IL-13Rα2 are expressed on a variety of human tumors. To enhance the effectiveness of DNA vaccine, we used extracellular domain of IL-13Rα2 (ECDα2) as a protein-boost against murine tumor models.MethodsWe have developed murine models of tumors naturally expressing IL-13Rα2 (MCA304 sarcoma, 4T1 breast carcinoma) and D5 melanoma tumors transfected with human IL-13Rα2 in syngeneic mice and examined the antitumor activity of DNA vaccine expressing IL-13Rα2 gene with or without ECDα2 protein mixed with CpG and IFA adjuvants as a boost vaccine.ResultsMice receiving IL-13Rα2 DNA vaccine boosted with ECDα2 protein were superior in exhibiting inhibition of tumor growth, compared to mice receiving DNA vaccine alone, in both prophylactic and therapeutic vaccine settings. In addition, prime-boost vaccination significantly prolonged the survival of mice compared to DNA vaccine alone. Furthermore, ECDα2 booster vaccination increased IFN-γ production and CTL activity against tumor expressing IL-13Rα2. The immunohistochemical analysis showed the infiltration of CD4 and CD8 positive T cells and IFN-γ-induced chemokines (CXCL9 and CXCL10) in regressing tumors of immunized mice. Finally, the prime boost strategy was able to reduce immunosuppressive CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the spleen and tumor of vaccinated mice.ConclusionThese results suggest that immunization with IL-13Rα2 DNA vaccine followed by ECDα2 boost mixed with CpG and IFA adjuvants inhibits tumor growth in T cell dependent manner. Thus our results show an enhancement of efficacy of IL-13Rα2 DNA vaccine with ECDα2 protein boost and offers an exciting approach in the development of new DNA vaccine targeting IL-13Rα2 for cancer immunotherapy.
