Repeated Omicron exposures redirect SARS-CoV-2–specific memory B cell evolution toward the latest variants
21 Aug 2024
Abstract excerpt
Immunological imprinting by ancestral SARS-CoV-2 strains is thought to impede the robust induction of Omicron-specific humoral responses by Omicron-based booster vaccines. Here, we analyzed the specificity and neutralization activity of memory B (B mem ) cells after repeated BA.5 exposure in individuals previously imprinted by ancestral strain–based mRNA vaccines. After a second BA.5 exposure, B mem cells with...
