ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Humoral immunity after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination has been extensively investigated in blood. Aim of this study was to develop an ELISA method in order to determine the prevalence of IgG and IgA SARS-CoV-2 domain 1 spike-protein (S) specific antibodies (Abs) in buccal and nasal mucosal surfaces of vaccinees.Methods:
To this end, we analyzed 69 individuals who received their first vaccine dose between February and July 2021. Vaccines administered were BNT162b2, mRNA-1273 or ChAdOx1-nCoV-19. Detection of IgG and IgA Abs was performed using commercial ELISA kits for both blood and swab samples after protocol modification for the latter.Results:
Anti-spike IgG and IgA Abs in the buccal and/or nasal swabs were detectable in >81% of the study subjects after the second dose. The IgG measurements in buccal swabs appeared to correlate in a more consistent way with the respective measurements in blood with a correlation coefficient of r=0.74. It is of note that IgA Abs appeared to be significantly more prevalent in the nasal compared to the buccal mucosa. Optimal selection of the assay cut-off for the IgG antibody detection in buccal swabs conferred a sensitivity of 91.8% and a specificity of 100%. Last, individuals vaccinated with mRNA-based vaccines exhibited higher antibody levels in both blood and mucosal surfaces compared to those receiving ChAdOx1-nCoV-19 confirming previously reported results.Conclusion:
In conclusion, our findings show a differential prevalence of anti-S Abs on mucosal surfaces after vaccination for SARS-CoV-2, while they also set the basis for potential future use of IgG antibody detection in buccal swabs for extended immunity screening in large populations.ключевые слова
