Fig. 4. Neutralization of wild-type D614G and variants by participant serum collected 1 month after primary vaccination series and before and after boosters, as measured by the VSV-based PsVN assay.

Fig. 4

Sera samples were collected 1 month after the primary series, immediately before receiving the booster dose (6 months after the primary vaccination series) and 2 weeks after the 50-µg booster dose of mRNA-1273 (a), mRNA-1273.351 (b) or mRNA-1273.211 (c). n = 20 for wild-type D614G, B.1.351 and P.1 and n = 11 for B.1.427/B.1.429, B.1.526, B.1.617.1 and B.1.617.2. d, Neutralization of wild-type D614G 1 month after the primary series and neutralization of wild-type D614G, B.1.617.1 and B.1.617.2 immediately before the booster dose from sera samples collected from a subset of participants in the mRNA-1273 booster group (D614G, n = 20; B.1.617.1, n = 11; B.1.617.2, n = 11). In ad, the GMTs against the wild-type D614G and variants measured in participants before the booster dose or 2 weeks after the booster dose were evaluated versus peak titers measured against the wild-type D614G 1 month after the primary vaccination series. Data are presented as the geometric mean neutralizing antibody titers with 95% confidence intervals. The GMT fold change versus the peak titers against the wild-type D614G virus after the primary vaccination series are shown, with red indicating fold drop and blue indicating fold rise. Results from individual participants are represented as dots on each figure. For all panels, blue colored dots indicate participants whose samples were tested (n = 11), and white dots indicate the remaining participants whose samples were not tested (n = 9). The horizonal dotted line indicates the LLOQ; the solid gray line indicates the within-cohort GMT benchmark. Generalized linear model was used to compare neutralization titers among groups; log10 titer was regressed on group, and an individual-specific random effect was included to account for individual specific variability. Two-sided t-test was used for post hoc group comparisons. Sidak’s method was used to adjust the P values for multiple comparisons. Statistical significance was determined at α < 0.01. ****P < 0.0001; ***P < 0.001; **P < 0.01; *P < 0.05. NAb, neutralizing antibody; NS, not significant.
