Cross-reactive antibodies against dengue virus are known to cause antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of infection or disease severity under specific conditions. In our previous study, we showed that primary immunization with the COVID-19 vaccine induces induces cross-reactive IgG causing ADE against dengue. In the present study, we investigated the influence of IgG Fc-glycosylation (analyzed by LC-MS/MS) on ADE mediated by cross-reactive IgG against dengue from IgG against SARS-CoV-2. We found a clear correlation between anti-DENV2 E IgG2 galactosylation and the ADE capacity of cross-reactive IgG against dengue in individuals vaccinated against COVID-19. IgG2 sialylation increased over time; however, it was not correlated with ADE capacity. This phenomenon was restricted to IgG2, whereas anti-DENV2 E IgG1 Fc-glycosylation remained stable after COVID-19 vaccination.
