Immune Imprinting, Non-Durable Hybrid Immunity, and Hybrid Immune Damping Following SARS-CoV-2 Primary Vaccination with BNT162b2 and Boosting with mRNA-1273

Background/Objectives: Long-term studies on the immune response following multiple doses of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines remain limited. Methods: Secondary analyses of data from a cohort of non-immunocompromised subjects who received two doses of BNT162b2 (primary vaccination) and a booster with mRNA-12...

Methods: Secondary analyses of data from a cohort of non-immunocompromised subjects who received two doses of BNT162b2 (primary vaccination) and a booster with mRNA-1273 nine months later. Antibodies targeting the receptor-binding domain of the S1 subunit of the SARS-CoV-2 spike (anti-RBD) were measured at eight time points during follow-up; the SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell response was measured 16 and 25 months after primary vaccination using an interferon-γ release assay. Results: During the 9-month follow up period after primary vaccination and before the mRNA-1273 booster, anti-RBD were significantly higher at all time points in subjects with documented SARS-CoV-2 infection before the first study time point (previously infected subjects; n = 50) compared to naïve subjects (n = 208; p < 0.05). During a 16-month follow up period following the mRNA-1273 booster, anti-RBD were lower at all time points in previously infected subjects (n = 21) compared to naïve subjects (n = 109), although the differences were non-significant. Breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infections increased over time in both groups, particularly after the mRNA-1273 booster. Most participants had a persistent SARS-CoV-2 specific T cell response regardless of prior infection. Conclusions: These findings suggest a modulating effect of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection on the humoral immune response to mRNA vaccination, a non-durable hybrid immunity following mRNA vaccination in previously infected subjects, and attenuation of the humoral immune response (immune damping) after repeated exposure to SARS-CoV-2 antigens through mRNA vaccination and/or infection.Facultad de Medicina20252025-03-0120252025-03-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/10641/6315reponame:DDFV.
