ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AZD1222) vaccine elicits monoclonal antibodies with potent cross-neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2 viral variants

Abstract Although the antibody response to COVID-19 vaccination has been studied extensively at the polyclonal level using immune sera, little has been reported on the antibody response at the monoclonal level. Here we isolate a panel of 44 anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from an individual who received two doses of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AZD1222) vaccine at a 12-week interval. We show that despite a relatively low serum neutralization titre, mAbs with potent neutralizing activity against the current SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (B.1.1.7, P.1, B.1.351 and B.1.617.2) were obtained. The vaccine elicited neutralizing mAbs form 8 distinct competition groups and bind epitopes overlapping with neutralizing mAbs elicited following SARS-CoV-2 infection. AZD1222 elicited mAbs are more mutated than mAbs isolated from convalescent donors 1-2 months post infection. Spike reactive IgG+ B cells were still detectable 9-months post boost. These findings give molecular insights into AZD1222 elicited antibody response..
