Popis: Vector-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have been associated with vaccine-induced thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (VITT/TTS), but the causative factors are still unresolved. We comprehensively analyzed ChAdOx1 nCov-19 (AstraZeneca) and Ad26.COV2.S (Johnson & Johnson). ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 contains significant amounts of host cell protein impurities, including functionally active proteasomes, and adenoviral proteins. In Ad26.COV2.S much less impurities were found. Platelet-factor 4 (PF4) formed complexes with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 constituents, but not with purified virions from ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 or with Ad26.COV2.S. Vascular hyperpermeability was induced by ChAdOx nCoV-19 but not by Ad26.COV2.S.These differences in impurities together with EDTA-induced capillary leakage might contribute to the higher incidence rate of VITT associated with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 compared to Ad26.COV2.S.
