Humoral Response to Dengue Virus Infections Potentiates Antibody-Dependent Enhancement of SARS-CoV-2
Despite successful vaccination efforts, the emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants poses ongoing challenges to control COVID-19. Understanding humoral responses concerning SARS-CoV-2 infections and their impact is crucial for developing future vaccines that are effective worldwide. Here, we identified 41 immunodominant linear IgG B-cell epitopes in its Spike glycoprotein with a SPOT synthesis peptide array probed with a pool of serum from hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Bioinformatics showed a restricted set of epitopes unique to SARS-CoV-2 compared to other coronavirus family members. Potential crosstalk was also detected with Dengue virus (DENV), confirmed by screening individuals infected with DENV before the COVID-19 pandemic in a commercial ELISA assay for anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Higher reactivity indices were often measured in individuals with a pre-pandemic dengue infection than those with COVID-19. A high-resolution evaluation of antibody reactivity against peptides representing epitopes in the spike protein identified ten sequences in the NTD, RBD, and S2 domains. Functionally, antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) in SARS-CoV-2 infection of monocytes was observed with pre-pandemic dengue-positive sera. A significant increase in viral load was measured compared to controls, with no detectable neutralization or considerable cell death, suggesting its role in viral entry. This study highlights the importance of identifying the epitopes generated during the humoral response to a pathogenic infection to understand the potential interplay of previous and future conditions on disease. Vaccine development and optimization strategies should be mindful of the potential for A.D.E. that could differ geographically due to endemic biological risks..
