Analysis of neutralizing antibodies to COVID-19 inactivated or subunit recombinant vaccines in hospitalized patients with liver dysfunction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) response after COVID-19 vaccination after liver dysfunction is unclear. In this study, we evaluated the NAbs response after COVID-19 vaccination in hospitalized patients suffering from liver dysfunction.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study with longitudinal follow-up, we enrolled eligible patients with liver dysfunction and healthy volunteers with full-course COVID-19 vaccination. Blood samples were collected for the NAbs testing at the time of admission and after treatment. Multiple regression analysis to assess independent risk factors affecting NAbs response.

Results

A total of 137 patients and 134 healthy controls (HC) were enrolled. Both seropositivity (65.7% vs 80.6%, p<0.01) and titer (3.95 vs 4.94 log₂ AU/ml, p<0.001) of NAbs in patients were significantly lower than that in HC. The decrease of antibody titer in patients was significantly faster than that in HC. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, males (odds ratio [OR]: 0.17; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.06, 0.46; p<0.001) and severe liver damage (OR: 0.30; 95% CI: 0.12, 0.71; p<0.01) were significantly associated with reduction of the probability of NAbs seropositivity in the multiple regression analysis. Males (β =-1.18; 95% CI: -1.73,-0.64) and chronic liver diseases (β =-1.45; 95% CI: -2.13, -0.76) were significantly associated with lower NAbs titers. In 26 patients with liver failure, both antibody seropositivity (53.8% vs 84.6%, p<0.05) and titer (3.55 vs 4.32 log₂ AU/ml, p<0.001) did not decrease but increased after artificial liver plasmapheresis.

Conclusions

NAbs response to COVID-19 inactivated or subunit recombinant vaccines was waning in patients with liver dysfunction. Moreover, patients with male sex, severe liver injury and chronic liver diseases have an increased risk of poor antibody responses.

Project description:Avian influenza viruses of the H7 hemagglutinin (HA) subtype present a significant public health threat, as evidenced by the ongoing outbreak of human A(H7N9) infections in China. When evaluated by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) and microneutralization (MN) assays, H7 viruses and vaccines are found to induce lower level of neutralizing antibodies (nAb) than do their seasonal counterparts, making it difficult to develop and evaluate prepandemic vaccines. We have previously shown that purified recombinant H7 HA appear to be poorly immunogenic in that they induce low levels of HI and MN antibodies. In this study, we immunized mice with whole inactivated reverse genetics reassortant (RG) viruses expressing HA and neuraminidase (NA) from 3 different H7 viruses [A/Shanghai/2/2013(H7N9), A/Netherlands/219/2003(H7N7), and A/New York/107/2003(H7N2)] or with human A(H1N1)pdm09 (A/California/07/2009-like) or A(H3N2) (A/Perth16/2009) viruses. Mice produced equivalent titers of antibodies to all viruses as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). However, the antibody titers induced by H7 viruses were significantly lower when measured by HI and MN assays. Despite inducing very low levels of nAb, H7 vaccines conferred complete protection against homologous virus challenge in mice, and the serum antibodies directed against the HA head region were capable of mediating protection. The apparently low immunogenicity associated with H7 viruses and vaccines may be at least partly related to measuring antibody titers with the traditional HI and MN assays, which may not provide a true measure of protective immunity associated with H7 immunization. This study underscores the need for development of additional correlates of protection for prepandemic vaccines.IMPORTANCE H7 avian influenza viruses present a serious risk to human health. Preparedness efforts include development of prepandemic vaccines. For seasonal influenza viruses, protection is correlated with antibody titers measured by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) and virus microneutralization (MN) assays. Since H7 vaccines typically induce low titers in HI and MN assays, they have been considered to be poorly immunogenic. We show that in mice H7 whole inactivated virus vaccines (WIVs) were as immunogenic as seasonal WIVs, as they induced similar levels of overall serum antibodies. However, a larger fraction of the antibodies induced by H7 WIV was nonneutralizing in vitro Nevertheless, the H7 WIV completely protected mice against homologous viral challenge, and antibodies directed against the HA head were the major contributor toward immune protection. Vaccines against H7 avian influenza viruses may be more effective than HI and virus neutralization assays suggest, and such vaccines may need other methods for evaluation.

Project description:To enhance the personal immunity to COVID-19, a third booster dose of inactivated COVID-19 vaccines program campaign was implemented in China. Our study endeavored to compare the dynamics of neutralizing antibodies generated by four distinct booster vaccines against three kinds of live SARS-CoV-2 virus (wild-type, Delta AY.23, and Omicron BA5.2). This cohort study involved 320 healthy individuals, who were randomly assigned to four groups, to receive boosters with inactivated vaccine (COVac and BIBP), the adenovirus type-5-vectored vaccine (Convidecia), and the recombinant protein-based vaccine (Zifivax), respectively, all the vaccines studied had the Wuhan variant as their parental variant. Participants were recruited from December 2021 to June 2022, with a follow-up period of 180 days. We evaluated humoral immune responses and their longevity by measuring the geometric mean titers (GMTs) of neutralizing antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus at various time points post-boost. After 180 days of follow-up, 310 participants completed the study. Across all booster groups, neutralizing antibodies against the wild-type virus declined sharply within the first 90 days, accounting for an 81.24 to 92.34% reduction, then slowed down with gradually decreasing decay rates. By day 14 of post-boost, the ability to neutralize the Delta variant slightly diminished compared to the wild-type, whereas neutralizing antibodies against the Omicron variant exhibited a more pronounced decline, ranging from 10.78 to 19.88 times lower than those against the wild-type. Notably, heterologous boosting with the Convidecia vaccine maintained higher GMTs of neutralizing antibodies against both Delta and Omicron variants compared to the other boosters. At 180 days of post-boost, GMTs of neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 had substantially decreased, yet individuals who received the Convidecia vaccine still exhibited higher titers than those who received other boosters. In summary, neutralizing antibody levels significantly waned 180 days after the third vaccine dose, with the most pronounced decline occurring within the initial 90 days. Heterologous boosting with Convidecia demonstrated a more robust, durable, and broad humoral immune response compared to boosting with inactivated vaccines or Zifivax, suggesting that adenovirus vector vaccines possess a special advantage in the realm of vaccine development for preventing infectious diseases.
