    Abstract Immunity induced by vaccination and infection, referred to as hybrid immunity, provides better protection against SARS-CoV-2 infections compared to immunity induced by vaccinations alone. To assess the development of hybrid immunity we investigated the induction of Nucleoprotein-specific antibodies in PCR-confirmed infections by Delta or Omicron in vaccinated individuals (n = 520). Eighty-two percent of the participants with a breakthrough infection reached N-seropositivity. N-seropositivity was accompanied by Spike S1 antibody boosting, and independent of vaccination status or virus variant. Following the infection relatively more antibodies to the infecting virus variant were detected. In conclusion, these data show that hybrid immunity through breakthrough infections is hallmarked by Nucleoprotein antibodies and broadening of the Spike antibody repertoire. Exposure to future SARS-CoV-2 variants may therefore continue to maintain and broaden vaccine-induced population immunity.

    Abstract Down syndrome (DS) is characterized by lowered immune competence and premature aging. We previously showed decreased antibody response following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in adults with DS. IgG1 Fc glycosylation patterns are known to affect the effector function of IgG and are associated with aging. Here, we compare total and anti-spike (S) IgG1 glycosylation patterns following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in DS and healthy controls (HC). Total and anti-Spike IgG1 Fc N-glycan glycoprofiles were measured in non-exposed adults with DS and controls before and after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) of Fc glycopeptides. We recruited N = 44 patients and N = 40 controls. We confirmed IgG glycosylation patterns associated with aging in HC and showed premature aging in DS. In DS, we found decreased galactosylation (50.2% vs. 59.0%) and sialylation (6.7% vs. 8.5%) as well as increased fucosylation (97.0% vs. 94.6%) of total IgG. Both cohorts showed similar bisecting GlcNAc of total and anti-S IgG1 with age. In contrast, anti-S IgG1 of DS and HC showed highly comparable glycosylation profiles 28 days post vaccination. The IgG1 glycoprofile in DS exhibits strong premature aging. The combination of an early decrease in IgG1 Fc galactosylation and sialylation and increase in fucosylation is predicted to reduce complement activity and decrease FcγRIII binding and subsequent activation, respectively. The altered glycosylation patterns, combined with decreased antibody concentrations, help us understand the susceptibility to severe infections in DS. The effect of premature aging highlights the need for individuals with DS to receive tailored vaccines and/or vaccination schedules.

    Abstract We used data of 32,542 prospective cohort study participants who previously received primary and one or two monovalent booster COVID-19 vaccinations. Between 26 September and 19 December 2022, relative effectiveness of bivalent original/Omicron BA.1 vaccination against self-reported Omicron SARS-CoV-2 infection was 31% in 18-59-year-olds and 14% in 60-85-year-olds. Protection of Omicron infection was higher than of bivalent vaccination without prior infection. Although bivalent booster vaccination increases protection against COVID-19 hospitalisations, we found limited added benefit in preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection.

    Abstract Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children and older adults. Yet knowledge on the development of pneumococcal protein-specific antibody responses throughout life is limited. To investigate this, we measured serum IgG levels to 55 pneumococcal proteins in 11-month old infants (n=73), 24-month old children (n=101), parents (n=99), adults without children <6 years of age (n= 99) and older adults aged >60 years (n=100). Our findings revealed low IgG levels in infancy, with distinct development patterns peaking in adults. A decrease in levels was observed for 27 antigens towards older age. Adults and older adults had increased IgG levels during pneumococcal carriage and at increased exposure risk to S. pneumoniae. Carriage was a stronger predictor than exposure or age for antibody responses. These findings highlight the dynamic nature of naturally acquired humoral immunity to pneumococcal proteins throughout life, offering insights for age-targeted interventions.

    Abstract An increasing proportion of the population has acquired immunity through COVID-19 vaccination and previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, i.e., hybrid immunity, possibly affecting the risk of new infection. We aim to estimate the protective effect of previous infections and vaccinations on SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection, using data from 43,257 adult participants in a prospective community-based cohort study in the Netherlands, collected between 10 January 2022 and 1 September 2022. Our results show that, for participants with 2, 3 or 4 prior immunizing events (vaccination or previous infection), hybrid immunity is more protective against infection with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron than vaccine-induced immunity, up to at least 30 weeks after the last immunizing event. Differences in risk of infection are partly explained by differences in anti-Spike RBD (S) antibody concentration, which is associated with risk of infection in a dose-response manner. Among participants with hybrid immunity, with one previous pre-Omicron infection, we do not observe a relevant difference in risk of Omicron infection by sequence of vaccination(s) and infection. Additional immunizing events increase the protection against infection, but not above the level of the first weeks after the previous event.

    Abstract Objectives: We estimated vaccine effectiveness (VE) of primary and booster vaccinations against SARS-CoV-2 infection overall and in four risk groups defined by age and medical risk condition during the Delta and Omicron BA.1/BA.2 periods.
    Methods: VAccine Study COvid-19 is an ongoing prospective cohort study among Dutch adults. The primary end point was a self-reported positive SARS-CoV-2 test from July 12, 2021 to June 06, 2022. The analyses included only participants without a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection based on a positive test or serology. We used Cox proportional hazard models with vaccination status as the time-varying exposure and adjustment for age, sex, educational level, and medical risk condition.
    Results: A total of 37,170 participants (mean age 57 years) were included. In the Delta period, VE <6 weeks after the primary vaccination was 80% (95% confidence interval 69-87) and decreased to 71% (65-77) after 6 months. VE increased to 96% (86-99) shortly after the first booster vaccination. In the Omicron period, these estimates were 46% (22-63), 25% (8-39), and 57% (52-62), respectively. For the Omicron period, an interaction term between vaccination status and risk group significantly improved the model (P <0.001), with generally lower VEs for those with a medical risk condition.
    Conclusion: Our results show the benefit of booster vaccinations against infection, also in risk groups; although, the additional protection wanes quite rapidly.

    Abstract Background: The upper respiratory tract is continuously exposed to microorganisms and noxious elements, leading to local immune responses and the secretion of immune markers. While several studies describe immune marker profiles in respiratory mucosal samples in defined patient cohorts, mucosal immune profiles from the general population during the different seasons are lacking. Such baseline profiles are essential to understand the effect of various exposures to the mucosal immune system throughout life.
    Objective: We sought to establish baseline local upper respiratory mucosal immune profiles in the general population and assess these profiles with regard to age, sex, seasonality, and basic health and lifestyle factors.
    Methods: We measured the concentrations of 35 immune markers involved in a broad range of immunological processes at the mucosa in nasopharyngeal swab samples from 951 individuals, aged 0 to 86 years, from a nationwide study.
    Results: Clustering analysis showed that immune marker profiles clearly reflected immunological functions, such as tissue regeneration and antiviral responses. Immune marker concentrations changed strongly with seasonality and age, with the most profound changes occurring in the first 25 years of life; they were also associated with sex, body mass index, smoking, mild symptoms of airway infection, and chronic asthma and hay fever.
    Conclusion: Immunological analyses of noninvasive mucosal samples provide insight into mucosal immune responses to microbial and noxious element exposure in the general population. These data provide a baseline for future studies on respiratory mucosal immune responses and for the development of mucosal immune-based diagnostics.

    Abstract Immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclasses have been suggested to confer naturally acquired immunity to Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Cytophilic IgG1 and IgG3 with their potential for opsonization, phagocytosis, and antibody-dependent cellular inhibition in association with monocytes have been suggested to have a critical role in malaria. The potential for production of antibodies is influenced by micronutrient status. This study aimed at exploring the effect of micronutrients, particularly zinc status, on the profiles of IgG subclasses in 304 Tanzanian children aged ≤ 5 years. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed using whole asexual blood stage malaria antigens to determine plasma malaria-specific antibody titers. This baseline cross-sectional study was done from 2005 - 2010 prior to the larger randomized control trial of the Micronutrient and Child Health (MACH) Study. Plasma concentrations of zinc and magnesium were measured by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and results correlated with plasma IgG subclass levels. The findings reveal zinc deficiency to possibly influence the production of IgM, total IgG, and several IgG subclasses in a malaria status-dependent manner. Among IgG subclasses, IgG3 and partly IgG2 displayed a remarkable association with zinc deficiency, particularly IgG3 which was predominant in children with malaria. Nevertheless, zinc, magnesium, and malaria status did not influence the association between IgG3 and IgG4. The study leads to the conclusion that, under conditions of micronutrient deficiency and malaria status, an imbalance in IgG subclass production may occur leading to predominantly higher levels of IgG3 and IgG2 that may not confer sufficient protection from infection. The profile of both cytophilic and non-cytophilic IgG subclasses has been shown to be variably influenced by zinc status; the effects vary with age at least in under-fives. These results provide insight for inclusion of micronutrients, particularly precise amounts of zinc, in future malaria interventional programs in endemic areas.
