Abstrakt: Vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an important prophylactic measure in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), but the immune response is often impaired. Here, we examined the T-cell immune response against SARS-CoV-2 in 148 KTRs after 3 or 4 vaccine doses, including 35 KTRs with subsequent SARS-CoV-2 infection. The frequency of spike-specific T cells was lower in KTRs than in immunocompetent controls and was correlated with the level of spike-specific antibodies. Positive predictors for detection of vaccine-induced T cells were detection of spike-specific antibodies, heterologous immunization with messenger RNA and a vector vaccine, and longer time after transplantation. In vaccinated KTRs with subsequent SARS-CoV-2 infection, the T-cell response was greatly enhanced and was significantly higher than in vaccinated KTRs without SARS-CoV-2 infection. Overall, the data show a correlation between impaired humoral and T-cell immunity to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and provide evidence for greater robustness of hybrid immunity in KTRs.
