Pre-vaccination frequencies of naive and transitional B cells and post-vaccination fold changes in activated CD8+ T cells correlated with antibody titers to the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine.

Abstract

ABSTRACT We analyzed peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of each 20 individuals with a high anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody titer and a low antibody titer out of 1,774 healthcare workers who received BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine. A higher antibody titer was associated with the frequencies of naïve and transitional B cells before vaccination. In addition, fold changes in the frequency of activated CD8 + T cells upon vaccination were correlated with the antibody titers.
