ABSTRACT
A large proportion of the global population received a single dose of the Ad26.COV2.S coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) vaccine as priming vaccination, which was shown to provide protection against moderate to severe COVID-19. However, the emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants that harbor immune-evasive mutations in the spike protein led to the recommendation of booster vaccinations after Ad26.COV2.S priming. Recent studies showed that heterologous booster vaccination with an mRNA-based vaccine following Ad26.COV2.S priming leads to high antibody levels. However, how heterologous booster vaccination affects other functional aspects of the immune response remains unknown. Here, we performed immunological profiling on samples obtained from Ad26.COV2.S-vaccinated individuals before and after a homologous (Ad26.COV2.S) or heterologous (mRNA-1273 or BNT162b2) booster vaccination. Both homologous and heterologous booster vaccination increased antibodies with multiple functionalities towards ancestral SARS-CoV-2, the Delta and Omicron BA.1 variants. Especially, mRNA-based booster vaccination induced high levels of neutralizing antibodies and antibodies with various Fc-mediated effector functions such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and phagocytosis. In contrast, T cell responses were similar in magnitude following homologous or heterologous booster vaccination, and retained functionality towards Delta and Omicron BA.1. However, only heterologous booster vaccination with an mRNA-based vaccine led to the expansion of SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell clones, without an increase in the breadth of the T cell repertoire as assessed by T cell receptor sequencing. In conclusion, we show that Ad26.COV2.S priming vaccination provides a solid immunological base for heterologous boosting with an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine, increasing humoral and cellular responses targeting newly emerging variants of concern. One sentence summaryAd26.COV2.S priming provides a solid immunological base for extension of cellular and humoral immune responses following an mRNA-based booster.
