Abstract | Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 with coronavirus vaccines that elicit protective immune responses is critical to the prevention of severe disease and mortality associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Understanding the adaptive immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or vaccination will continue to aid in the development of next-generation vaccines. Studies have shown the important role of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies for both disease resolution and prevention of COVID-19 serious sequelae following vaccination. However, antibody responses are short-lived, highlighting the importance of studying antigen-specific B-cell responses to better understand durable immunity and immunologic memory. Since the spike protein is the main target of antibody-producing B cells, we developed a SARS-CoV-2 memory B cell ELISPOT assay to measure the frequencies of spike-specific B cells after COVID-19 infection and/or vaccination. Here, we describe in detail the methodology for using this ELISPOT assay to quantify SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific memory B cells produced by infection and/or vaccination in human PBMC samples. Application of this assay may help better understand and predict SARS-CoV-2 recall immune responses and to develop potential B cell correlates of protection at the methodological level. |
