IMMUNE IMPRINTING !
It is strange that almost no one (except @MarionKoopmans) has talked about the latest study by @yunlong_cao and his colleagues, on this subject 🤔
2) "Repeated Omicron exposures override ancestral SARS-CoV-2 immune imprinting"
Key findings :
▶️ "Immune imprinting induced by wildtype (WT)-based vaccination would compromise the antibody response to Omicron-based boosters"biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
3) ▶️ Single Omicron-boosting is heavily limited by immune imprinting, especially when using variants antigenically distinct from WT, like XBB"
▶️ "Repeated Omicron infections could also alleviate WT-vaccination-induced immune imprinting and generate high neutralizing titers ...
4) ...against XBB.1.5 and XBB.1.16"
▶️ "Our findings suggest the WT component should be abandoned when updating COVID-19 vaccine antigen compositions to XBB lineages, and those who haven’t been exposed to Omicron yet should receive two updated vaccine boosters."
