To facilitate interpretation of clinical SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike IgG analyses post-vaccination, 82 healthcare workers were followed through three vaccination-regimens: two regimens were comprised of two doses of BNT162b2 three or six weeks apart, followed by a dose of mRNA-vaccine, and in the other regimen, the first dose was replaced by ChAdOx1 nCov-19. After each dose, anti-spike IgG was compared between regimens. As many participants became infected, anti-spike IgG persistence was compared between infected and uninfected participants. Thirteen to twenty-one days after the first dose, seroconversion, and the median anti-spike IgG level in the ChAdOx1 group was significantly lower than in the BNT162b2 groups (23 versus 68 and 73 AU/mL). The second dose caused a significant increase in anti-spike IgG, but the median level was lower in the BNT162b2-short-interval group (280 AU/mL), compared to the BNT162b2-long-interval (1075 AU/mL) and ChAdOx1 (1160 AU/mL) group. After the third dose, all groups showed increases to similar anti-spike IgG levels (2075–2390 AU/mL). Over the next half year, anti-spike IgG levels declined significantly in all groups, but appeared to persist longer after post-vaccination infection. This is the first three-dose study with one dose of ChAdOx1. Despite initial differences, all vaccine regimens gave similarly high antibody levels and persistence after the third dose.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
