Abstract:
System serology offers a comprehensive approach to evaluate the humoral immune response by evaluating multiple parameters. In the present study, based on four groups of individuals with a different history of SARS-CoV-2 immunization, we analyzed the serum of 180 individuals based on six serological methods to better decipher their immunity. Through our analysis, against different SARS-CoV-2 antigens or variants, we report the importance of system serology to better decipher population immunity. Fc-dependent parameters are key factors underlying the variability of humoral immune response triggered by different schemes of SARS-CoV-2 immunization. With an evolving exposure to new variants, the acquisition of robust cross-reactive Fc-dependent effector functions are likely to be key to control viral replication when neutralizing antibodies are poorly cross-reactive. As booster vaccination remains a useful tool in periodically bolstering humoral immunity, particularly in vulnerable populations, studies should continue to evaluate the humoral immune response using system serology approach.

Diversity of Antigen Receptors
Before encountering any antigen, lymphocytes express these receptors. On B cells, the antigen receptor is a membrane-bound antibody molecule called BCR; on T cells, it is a T cell receptor or TCR. B and T cell receptors are composed of two...
