BA.1 breakthrough infection elicits distinct antibody and memory B cell responses in vaccinated-only versus hybrid immunity individuals

Olivier Schwartz

Résumé

Immune memory is influenced by the frequency and type of antigenic challenges. Here, we performed a cross-sectional comparison of immune parameters following a BA.breakthrough infection in individuals with prior hybrid immunity (conferred by infection and vaccination) versus those solely vaccinated in a cohort of health care workers in Lyon, France. The results showed higher levels of serum anti-RBD antibodies and neutralizing antibodies against BA.1 post-infection in the vaccine-only group. Individuals in this group also showed a decrease in memory B cells against the ancestral strain but an increase in those specific and cross-reactive to BA.1, suggesting a more limited immune imprinting. Conversely, hybrid immunity prevents the decrease in ADCC response, possibly by limiting IgG4 class-switching, and enhanced anti-N responses post-infection. This highlights that BA.1 breakthrough infection induces different immune responses depending on prior history of vaccination and infection, which should be considered for further vaccination guidelines.
