ABSTRACT
A highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variant JN.1 is rapidly spreading throughout the nation, becoming the predominant strain in China and worldwide. However, the current immunity against the circulating JN.1 at population level has yet to be fully evaluated. We recruited representative cohorts with stratified age groups and diverse combinations of vaccination and/or infection in recent months, and promptly assessed humoral immunity for these subjects predominantly exhibiting hybrid immunity. We report that at 11 months following BA.5-wave breakthrough infection (BTI), these vaccinated individuals generally showed above-the-threshold yet low level of neutralizing activity against JN.1, with slightly greater potency observed in children and adolescents compared to adults and seniors. Meanwhile, XBB/EG.5-wave reinfection post-BTI significantly boosted the neutralizing antibodies against Omicron variants, including JN.1 in both adults (13.4- fold increase) and seniors (24.9-fold increase). To better understand respiratory mucosal protection against JN.1 over an extended period of months post-BTI, we profiled the humoral immunity in bronchoalveolar lavage samples obtained from vaccinated subjects with or without BTI, and revealed increased potency of neutralizing activity against the BA.5 and JN.1 variants in the respiratory mucosa through natural infection. Notably, at 11 months post-BTI, memory B cell responses against prototype and JN.1 were detectable in both blood and respiratory mucosa, displaying distinct memory features in the circulation and airway compartments. XBB/EG.5-wave reinfection drove the expansion of JN.1-specific B cells, along with the back-boosting of B cells responding to the ancestral viral strain, suggesting the involvement of immune imprinting. Together, this study indicates heterogeneous hybrid immunity over 11 months post-BTI, and underscores the vulnerability of individuals, particularly high-risk seniors, to JN.1 breakthrough infection. An additional booster with XBB-containing vaccine may greatly alleviate the onward transmission of immune-evasive SARS-CoV-2 variants.
