BNT162b2 induces distinct BA.1 and BA.2 specific responses
A machine learning model was built using BA.1 and BA.2 spike specific features in BNT162b2 vaccinated individuals post third dose (n = 22).
(A) A minimal set of LASSO selected features was used to discriminate between humoral responses in a PLS-DA analysis. Each point represents an individual’s humoral response for BA.1 (purple) and BA.2 (red).
(B) Selected features were ordered according to their variable importance in projection (VIP) score (purple = enriched for BA.1 antigen).
