Diverse BCR usage and T cell activation induced by different COVID-19 sequential vaccinations
Using the same laboratory test to avoid unnecessary interference due to cohort ethnicity, and experimental and statistical errors, we have compared the T/B cell immune response in the same cohort sequential vaccinated by different types of COVID-19 vaccine. We found that different sequential vaccinations can induce different dominant BCR usage with no significant neutralizing titers and RBD<sup>+</sup> B-cell phenotype. Recombinant protein vaccine can induce higher numbers of regulatory T cells, circulating TFH (CTFH)1, CTFH17, and CTFH-CM, and lower SMNE<sup>+</sup> T-cell proliferative capacity than the other two groups, whereas I-I-A showed higher proportion and number of virus-specific CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells than I-I-R. Overall, our study provides a deep insight about the source of differences in immune protection of different types of COVID-19 vaccines, which further improves our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the immune response to SARS-CoV-2.
