Pre‐Existing Th1 Immunity Outperforms Age in Predicting Antibody Responses to SARS‐CoV‐2 Inactivated Vaccines

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Challenging the focus on age, this study finds pre‐existing T helper 1 cells are the key biomarker for predicting antibody response to SARS‐CoV‐2 inactivated vaccines. In both mice and humans, high responders exhibited elevated baseline T helper 1 cells, which correlated with robust humoral immunity, offering crucial guidance for improving vaccine ...
