Population-based studies of circulating blood proteins have provided profound insights into human biology. However, short-lived changes often remained undetected. To address this, we performed a comprehensive longitudinal dried blood spot (DBS) self-sampling study in 808 young adults of the BAMSE cohort during 2020-2022. We profiled serological, autoimmune, and proteomic phenotypes in relation to SARS-CoV-2 exposures (infection, vaccination), physiological traits, genetic variation, and blood counts. Data-driven seroclustering revealed dynamic immune response to both exposures, while analysis of anti-interferon autoantibodies (AAbs) uncovered associations of pre-existing stable AAbs with prolonged COVID-19 symptoms. Genome-wide mapping determined 664 pQTLs, with cis-pQTLs associated showing increased longitudinal stability. We also identified relationships between blood cell counts and DBS proteins beyond the hematocrit effects. Paired pre- and post-exposure highlighted transient alterations for infection (e.g. LAP3) and vaccinations (e.g. TIMP3). Multi-molecular phenotyping in self-sampling can capture dynamic immune trajectories, informing precision medicine efforts with clinically valuable insights on short-term variability in health phenotypes.

"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.
