Abstract

Herein, we evaluated the humoral immunogenicity of a third coronavirus disease 2019 messenger RNA vaccine dose in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. All patients displayed a humoral immune response, and median antibody concentrations were higher after the third dose than after completion of the 2-dose series.

    SentencesResources
    No participants had clinical history of COVID-19 infection, and those with laboratory evidence of prior infection, as demonstrated by presence of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antibodies, were excluded.
    SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antibodies,
    suggested: None
    The primary outcome was total serum SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike IgG antibody concentrations following a third dose compared to antibody concentrations following the two-dose series in the IBD cohort.
    anti-spike IgG
    suggested: None
    Specific antibodies measured in sera were nucleocapsid and spike protein S1 receptor-binding domain (RDB)-specific IgG antibodies reported as mcg/ml as previously described.
    RDB)-specific IgG
    suggested: None
    2 In patients with IBD, we measured antibody concentrations 28–35 days (t1) after completion of the two-dose series and 28–65 days (t2) after the third dose.

    suggested: None

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
