Popis: Background: Oncohematological patients present a variable immune response against many vaccines, due to the immunodeficiency caused by the disease and its treatment. The experience of vaccination against COVID-19 in oncohematological patients is low and mostly limited to studies of humoral immunity. However, the humoral and cellular immune responses between different oncohematological diseases (OHD) have not been compared. Objective: To compare the humoral and cellular immune responses in four groups of patients with OHD after receiving the first dose of one COVID-19 vaccine. Materials & methods: We recruited 53 patients in four groups according to diagnosis: Chronic Lymphatic Leukemia (CLL) (n=14), Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) (n=11), Multiple Myeloma (MM) (n=15), and Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT) (n=13) (Table 1). Samples were collected prior to vaccination and 3 weeks after receiving one dose of COMIRNATY (BioNTech-Pzifer), mRNA-1273 (Moderna), or AZD1222 (AstraZeneca). Twenty-six healthy donors with similar vaccination pattern were recruited. IgG titers against SARS-CoV-2 were quantified by Euroimmun-Anti-SARS-CoV-2 ELISA. Direct cellular cytotoxicity (DCC) was determined against Vero E6 cells infected with pseudotyped SARS-CoV-2, measuring caspase-3 activation after co-culture with PBMCs, in which cytotoxic populations were phenotyped by flow cytometry. Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) analyses were performed using Annexin V on Raji cells as a target. Results: 1) Early humoral response against COVID-19 vaccination in patients with CML was 5.1- (p Conclusions: We found significant differences in the early humoral immune response after one single dose of COVID-19 vaccine depending on the OHD analyzed. It was observed for the first time that the early cytotoxic immune response is efficient in all groups of patients, although superior in those who were not exposed to ASCT. Most cytotoxic activity relied on CD8+ T cells. These data can be useful to determine the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines in patients with OHD. Figure 1 Figure 1.
