Assessment of humoral and cellular immune responses to SARS CoV-2 vaccination (BNT162b2) in immunocompromised renal allograft recipients.

Immunocompromised KT recipients showed severe defects in humoral and T-cell immune response after vaccination. No differences in immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 Spike peptides were observed in KT patients by ISP post-vaccination. The detection of Spike-specific T-cell immunity in the absence of Spike IgG suggests that vaccination in immunocompromised KT patients may provide partial immunity, although not preventing infection, T-cell immunity may limit its severity.
