Background: Defining the protective thresholds against the severe-acute-respiratory-syndrome-related corona virus-2 pandemic is a crucial challenge. To reduce the risks of severe disease, hospitalization, and death, various COVID-19 vaccines have been rapidly developed.
Aim Of The Work: This study aimed to assess the impact of three common COVID-19 vaccine types; two mRNA COVID-19 vaccines: (Pfizer/BioNTech's BNT162b2 and Moderna's mRNA-1273), one adenoviral vector vaccine: Oxford/AstraZeneca's ChAdOx1, and one inactivated vaccine (Sinovac Biotech/China's Sinovac) on the level of neutralizing antibodies, considering factors such as vaccine type, demographic characteristics, and hybrid immunity. We conducted a direct comparative analysis involving 300 healthcare workers, both with and without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection (B.1, C.36.3, and AY.32 (Delta) variants). Neutralizing antibodies levels were measured at baseline (before vaccination), before the second dose, and six months after the second dose.
Results: The results showed a significant increase in neutralizing antibodies levels after complete vaccination with all vaccine types. Among healthcare workers, those vaccinated with mRNA vaccines (Moderna or Pfizer) exhibited the highest neutralizing antibodies titers, followed by AstraZeneca, and finally Sinovac with the lowest titer. On studying the effect of previous COVID-19 infection after vaccination, no significant difference in neutralizing antibodies levels was observed between healthcare workers vaccinated with mRNA or AstraZeneca vaccines, both with prior COVID-19 infection, following the first and six months after the second dose.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that individuals with prior COVID-19 may only require a single dose of mRNA or AstraZeneca vaccines to achieve a similar level of immunization as those without prior COVID-19 who completed the vaccination program.
Highlights: There is a significant increase in neutralizing antibodies levels after complete vaccination against COVID-19 Vaccination with mRNA vaccines exhibits the highest neutralizing antibodies titers. Vaccination with Sinovac exhibits the lowest neutralizing antibodies titers.

The Antibody Mediated Prevention (AMP) trials showed that passively infused VRC01, a broadly neutralizing antibody (bNAb) targeting the CD4 binding site (CD4bs) on the HIV-1 envelope protein (Env), protected against neutralization-sensitive viruses. We identified six individuals from the VRC01 treatment arm with multi-lineage breakthrough HIV-1 infections from HVTN703, where one variant was sensitive to VRC01 (IC < 25 ug/mL) but another was resistant. By comparing Env sequences of resistant and sensitive clones from each participant, we identified sites predicted to affect VRC01 neutralization and assessed the effect of their reversion in the VRC01-resistant clone on neutralization sensitivity.

A total of 5011 adult volunteers attending vaccination centers in different regions of Colombia were enrolled in a 1-year prospective observational cohort study to evaluate the immunogenicity and effectiveness of SARS-CoV-2-based vaccines as part of a National Vaccine Program established to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Following informed consent, 5,011 participants underwent a sociodemographic survey and PCR testing to assess SARS-CoV-2 infection. Blood samples were collected, and serum fractions were obtained from a participant subsample (n = 3441) at six-time points to assess virus-specific IgG responses to the Spike protein, its Receptor Binding Domain, and the Nucleoprotein by ELISA.

Adenovirus-based therapies have encountered significant challenges due to host immunity, particularly from pre-existing antibodies. Many trials have struggled to evade antibody response; however, the efficiency of these efforts was limited by the diversity of antibody Fv-region recognizing multiple amino acid sequences. In this study, we developed an antibody-evading adenovirus vector by encoding a plasma-rich protein transferrin-binding domain.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus is the causative agent of the emerging zoonotic respiratory disease. One of the most important prerequisites for combating emerging diseases is the development of vaccines within a short period of time. In this study, antigen-irradiated, inactivated SARS-CoV-2 viruses and the disaccharide trehalose were used to enhance immune responses in the Syrian hamster.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. The receptor binding domain (RBD), located at the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, contains most of the neutralizing epitopes during viral infection and is an ideal antigen for vaccine development. In this study, bioinformatic analysis of the amino acid sequence data of SARS-CoV-2 RBD protein for the better understanding of molecular characteristics was performed.
