Cellular immune response to wild-type (WT) spike and Delta spike. Spike peptide-specific responses by intracellular cytokine staining assays in CD8+ T cells and CD4+ T cells (a–c) 4 months after vaccination in dialysis patients (●■) or volunteers (●■). Means of CD4 or CD8 % population presenting a response (b,c) are numerically shown. CD4+ (b) CD8+ T cells’ (c) production of IL2, TNFα and IFNγ against WT spike ●● and B.1.617.2 (Delta) ■■. Media backgrounds were subtracted from the specific values. Representative dot blot FACS analysis (a). CD4+ or CD8+ T cells’ response to spike stimulation in PBMCs from dialysis patients compared to the healthy cohort. Additionally, shown are cellular response data from unvaccinated, uninfected individuals, or after infection (convalescent).
