  text: Replication-incompetent adenoviral vectors have been extensively used as a
    platform for vaccine design, with at least four anti-COVID-19 vaccines authorized
    to date. These vaccines elicit neutralizing antibody responses directed against
    SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein and confer significant level of protection against SARS-CoV-2
    infection. Immunization with adenovirus-vectored vaccines is known to be accompanied
    by the production of anti-vector antibodies, which may translate into reduced
    efficacy of booster or repeated rounds of revaccination. Here, we used blood samples
    from patients who received an adenovirus-based Gam-COVID-Vac vaccine to address
    the question of whether anti-vector antibodies may influence the magnitude of
    SARS-CoV-2-specific humoral response after booster vaccination. We observed that
    rAd26-based prime vaccination with Gam-COVID-Vac induced the development of Ad26-neutralizing
    antibodies, which persisted in circulation for at least 9 months. Our analysis
    further indicates that high pre-boost Ad26 neutralizing antibody titers do not
    appear to affect the humoral immunogenicity of the Gam-COVID-Vac boost. The titers
    of anti-SARS-CoV-2 RBD IgGs and antibodies, which neutralized both the wild type
    and the circulating variants of concern of SARS-CoV-2 such as Delta and Omicron,
    were independent of the pre-boost levels of Ad26-neutralizing antibodies. Thus,
    our results support the development of repeated immunization schedule with adenovirus-based
    COVID-19 vaccines.

  text: The COVID−19 pandemic not only resulted in a global crisis, but also accelerated
    vaccine development and antibody discovery. Herein we report a synthetic humanized
    VHH library development pipeline for nanomolar-range affinity VHH binders to SARS-CoV-2
    variants of concern (VoC) receptor binding domains (RBD) isolation. Trinucleotide-based
    randomization of CDRs by Kunkel mutagenesis with the subsequent rolling-cycle
    amplification resulted in more than 10<jats:sup>11</jats:sup> diverse phage display
    library in a manageable for a single person number of electroporation reactions.
    We identified a number of nanomolar-range affinity VHH binders to SARS-CoV-2 variants
    of concern (VoC) receptor binding domains (RBD) by screening a novel synthetic
    humanized antibody library. In order to explore the most robust and fast method
    for affinity improvement, we performed affinity maturation by CDR1 and CDR2 shuffling
    and avidity engineering by multivalent trimeric VHH fusion protein construction.
    As a result, H7-Fc and G12x3-Fc binders were developed with the affinities in
    nM and pM range respectively. Importantly, these affinities are weakly influenced
    by most of SARS-CoV-2 VoC mutations and they retain moderate binding to BA.4\5.
    The plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) resulted in IC50 = 100 ng\ml and
    9.6 ng\ml for H7-Fc and G12x3-Fc antibodies, respectively, for the emerging Omicron
    BA.1 variant. Therefore, these VHH could expand the present landscape of SARS-CoV-2
    neutralization binders with the therapeutic potential for present and future SARS-CoV-2
    variants.
