The unceasing interplay between SARS-CoV-2 and the human immune system has led to a continuous maturation of the virus and B cell response providing an opportunity to track their evolution in real time. We longitudinally analyzed the functional activity of almost 1,000 neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies (nAbs) isolated from vaccinated people, and from individuals with hybrid and super hybrid immunity (SH), developed after three mRNA vaccine doses and two breakthrough infections. The most potent neutralization and Fc functions against highly mutated variants, including BA.2.86, were found in the SH cohort. Despite different priming, epitope mapping revealed a convergent maturation of the functional antibody response. Neutralization was mainly driven by Class 1/2 nAbs while Fc functions were induced by Class 3/4 antibodies. Remarkably, broad neutralization was mediated by restored IGHV3-53/3-66 B cell germlines which, after heterogenous exposure to SARS-CoV-2 S proteins, increased their level of somatic hypermutations. Our study shows the resilience of the human immune system which restored previously expanded germlines and activated naive B cells to broaden the antibody repertoire of antibodies to control future SARS-CoV-2 variants.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
