Pre-existing cross-reactive neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2 and seasonal coronaviruses prior to the COVID-19 pandemic (2014-2019) with limited immunity against recent emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants, Vietnam
Objectives: SARS-CoV-2 transmission and epidemic potential is related to the population's immunity levels. As such, assessing different regions’ preexisting immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 is important to understand the transmission potential of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. Design: In 975 serum samples from Vietnam (2014 to 2019), anti-SARS-CoV-2 Immunoglobulin G levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) was performed using Wuhan strain and variants of concern (VOCs). Cross-reactivity was confirmed by analyzing B-cell receptor (BCR) repertoire sequences and identifying BCR repertoire sequences-derived T-cell epitopes. Results: Overall, 20.9% (n = 76/364) and 9.2% (n = 7) demonstrated SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing activity (PRNT50) against the Wuhan and Alpha strain, respectively. Neutralizing activity against Beta, Gamma, and Delta strains was absent (PRNT50
