We prospectively evaluated both humoral and cellular immune response to a third vaccine dose in patients after allogeneic HCT (n = 10) or CD19-based chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) therapy (n = 6) with low absolute B cell numbers and who failed to mount a humeral response after 2 vaccine doses. Humoral response was documented in 40% and 17% after allogeneic HCT and CAR-T therapy, respectively. None of the patients with complete B-cell aplasia developed anti-vaccine antibodies. Cellular response was documented in all patients after allogeneic HCT and in 83% of the patients after CAR-T. T-cell subclasses levels were not predictive foTransplantation and cellular therapy278.e1-278.e4https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8848544biostudies-literatureImmunogenicity of a Third Dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine in Patients with Impaired B Cell Reconstitution After Cellular Therapy-A Single Center Prospective Cohort Study.PMC8848544Freund TBar-On YRam RHalperin TBeyar-Katz OBen-Ami REilaty NGold RHagin DGlait-Santar CKay SAmit OfalseImmunogenicity of a Third Dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine in Patients with Impaired B Cell Reconstitution After Cellular Therapy-A Single Center Prospective Cohort Study.Patients with delayed B-cell reconstitution/B-cell aplasia after cellular therapy show decreased immunogenicity to the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.
