Vaccination prevents severe COVID-19 outcome in patients with neutralizing type 1 interferon autoantibodies

© 2023 The Author(s)..

A hallmark of patients with autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1) is serological neutralizing autoantibodies against type 1 interferons (IFN-I). The presence of these antibodies has been associated with severe course of COVID-19. The aims of this study were to investigate SARS-CoV-2 vaccine tolerability and immune responses in a large cohort of patients with APS-1 (N = 33) and how these vaccinated patients coped with subsequent infections. We report that adult patients with APS-1 were able to mount adequate SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific antibody responses after vaccination and observed no signs of decreased tolerability. Compared with age- and gender-matched healthy controls, patients with APS-1 had considerably lower peak antibody responses resembling elderly persons, but antibody decline was more rapid in the elderly. We demonstrate that vaccination protected patients with APS-1 from severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus, overriding the systemic danger of IFN-I autoantibodies observed in previous studies.
