Introduction: We documented the total spike antibody (S-Ab), IgG S-Ab and neutralizing antibody (N-Ab) responses of BNT162b2/CoronaVac vaccinees up to 90 days post-booster dose.

Methods: We included 32 homologous regimen CoronaVac vaccinees and 136 BNT162b2 mRNA vaccinees. We tested their total S-Ab (Roche), IgG (Abbott) and N-Ab (Snibe) levels at set time points from January 2021 to April 2022.

Introduction: We tested the total spike antibody (S-Ab), IgG/IgM S-Ab, and neutralizing antibody (N-Ab) responses of COVID-19-naïve subjects from before their first BNT162b2 vaccination up to 210 days after boosting. Methods: We studied 136 COVID-19-naïve subjects who received three doses of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine (39 males, 97 females, mean age 43.8 ± 13.

Introduction: We compared the early total spike antibody (S-Ab) and neutralizing antibody (N-Ab) responses to two vaccines.

Methods: We studied 96 Pfizer and 34 Sinovac vaccinees over a 14-month period from January 2021 to February 2022. All vaccinees received three doses of one type of vaccine.

Article Synopsis
  • The study assessed antibody responses in Singapore after a COVID-19 booster shot (BNT162b2) in 43 participants with no prior infection.
  • Antibody levels peaked 30 days post-booster, showing significant increases compared to pre-booster levels, with S-Ab reaching 25,220 BAU/mL and N-Ab reaching 30.3 µg/mL.
  • Antibody levels declined over time but demonstrated prolonged response, with estimated half-lives of 44 days for S-Ab and 58 days for N-Ab.

The tetravalent dengue vaccine (CYD-TDV) is approved for use as a 3-dose series for the prevention of dengue in seropositive individuals ≥9 years. A randomized, placebo-controlled, phase II study of a booster dose of CYD-TDV in individuals who completed the 3-dose schedule >5 years previously (NCT02824198), demonstrated that a booster restored neutralizing antibody titers to post-dose 3 levels. We present additional immunogenicity assessments up to 24 months post-booster, and B- and T-cell responses in a participant subset.

The tetravalent dengue vaccine (CYD-TDV; Dengvaxia®) is administered on a three-dose schedule, 6 months apart in those aged ≥9 years in a number of dengue-endemic countries in Asia and Latin America. In this study, CYD63 (NCT02824198), participants aged 9-45 years at first vaccination, and who had received three doses of CYD-TDV in the CYD28 study more than 5 years previously, were randomized 3:1 to receive a booster CYD-TDV dose (Group 1) or placebo (Group 2). Dengue neutralizing antibody geometric mean titres (PRNT GMTs) for each of the four dengue serotypes were assessed in sera collected before and 28 days after booster injections.

This was a multicenter, blinded, Phase II study (NCT00880893) conducted in Singapore. The primary objectives were to evaluate the safety of a tetravalent dengue vaccine (TDV) comprising four recombinant, live, attenuated viruses (CYD-TDV) and the dengue virus serotype-specific antibody responses before and 28 d after each vaccination. Participants were randomized 3:1 to receive three doses of CYD-TDV or a control vaccine at 0, 6 and 12 mo.
