Background: Despite vaccination, SARS-CoV-2 evolution leads to breakthrough infections and reinfections worldwide. Knowledge of hybrid immunization is crucial for future broad-spectrum SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

Methods: In this study, we investigated neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) against the SARS-CoV-2 ancestral virus (wild-type [WT]), pre-Omicron VOCs, Omicron subvariants, and SARS-CoV-1 using plasma collected from four distinct cohorts: individuals who received three doses of BBIBP-CorV/CoronaVac vaccines, those who experienced BA.

Re-Evaluation and Retrospective Comparison of Serum Neutralization Induced by Three Different Types of Inactivated SARS-CoV-2 Vaccines.

Vaccines (Basel)

October 2024

Key Laboratory of Medical Molecular Virology (MOE/NHC/CAMS), Shanghai Institute of Infectious Disease and Biosecurity, Shanghai Frontiers Science Center of Pathogenic Microbes and Infection, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Shanghai Medical College, Fudan University, Shanghai 200032, China.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, three different types of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, namely BBIBP-CorV, WIBP-CorV and CoronaVac, were manufactured and used for vaccination in China. However, as far as we know, no comparison of their induced serum neutralization has been carried out so far, possibly due to the regional difference in vaccine distribution, the difficulty in undertaking a comprehensive evaluation, and the intention to avoid unnecessary bias in populations for a certain type of inactivated vaccine.

Methods: Since all three of these inactivated vaccines are no longer produced and used for vaccination, here, we retrospectively compared the serum neutralizing activities induced by these three different types of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

Article Synopsis
  • The study characterizes eight different SARS-CoV-2 strains, including variants from the original WT strain to the current sublineage EG.5.1, assessing their virological and pathogenic features in both lab settings and living organisms.
  • Omicron variants, especially BA.1, XBB.1.9.1, and EG.5.1, showed increased infectiousness in the upper respiratory tract and a heightened ability to target the brain, correlating with increased lethality in mice.
  • The research highlights the importance of host receptor affinity and immune response in viral infectivity, providing a comprehensive understanding of SARS-CoV-2 pathogenicity that could inform future vaccine and treatment strategies.
