Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:A second limitation of our study is the uneven sample size for naive and antigen-experienced vaccine recipients after the first and second dose of BNT162b2. This is largely due to lack of an accessible, high-throughput serological assay to measure antigen-specific IgG glycosylation to study both transient and stable glycosylation features in disease settings. In summary, our data demonstrate a qualitatively and quantitatively distinct IgG immune response between BNT162b2 mRNA vaccinated SARS-CoV-2 naive and antigen-experienced individuals. Transient afucosylated IgG1 responses were induced in naive individuals upon the first dose, which correlated with increased titer after the second vaccination. In contrast, antigen-experienced vaccinees had low levels of afucosylated anti-S, which slightly increased upon vaccination. The qualitatively distinct IgG1 glycosylation patterns might further mediate differences in protection between these two groups. Future efforts focused on inducing and studying antigen-specific, afucosylated IgG1 responses are needed to investigate their protective capacity and inflammatory potential in anti-viral and vaccine-induced immunity.
