doi: 10.1038/s41598-022-10230-y
Figure Lengend Snippet: Vaccination targeting SARS-CoV-2 did not significantly affect antibody responses against most seasonal coronaviruses. ( A ) Bar and line graph of antibody responses obtained by ELISA at different plasma dilutions to Human CoV OC43 spike protein, before the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 vaccine was administered (Week 0) and after both doses (Week 7), using plasma from patients with no history of SARS-CoV-2 infection, n = 24 individuals, p ≤ 0.0001. ( B ) Bar and line graph of antibody responses obtained by ELISA at different plasma dilutions to Human CoV HKU1 spike protein, before the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 vaccine was administered (Week 0) and after both doses (Week 7), using plasma from patients with no history of SARS-CoV-2 infection, n = 24 individuals, p ≥ 0.99. ( C ) Bar and line graph of antibody responses obtained by ELISA at different plasma dilutions to Human CoV 229E spike protein, before the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 vaccine was administered (Week 0) and after both doses (Week 7), using plasma from patients with no history of SARS-CoV-2 infection, n = 24 individuals, p = 0.75. ( D ) Bar and line graph of antibody responses obtained by ELISA at different plasma dilutions to Human CoV NL63 spike protein, before the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 vaccine was administered (Week 0) and after both doses (Week 7), using plasma from patients with no history of SARS-CoV-2 infection, n = 24 individuals, p ≤ 0.0001. Endpoint titers are designated by the most dilute plasma concentration detected above the minimum threshold of the background OD450 multiplied by 3. Dots are representative of individual samples. Bars are representative of the mean of all samples. Statistical analysis was performed using Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test with two-tailed P values reported.
