Abstract

Background: Patients receiving anti-TNF treatment for chronic inflammatory disease display impaired antibody responses, but it remains unclear how immune memory formation is affected. We evaluated antibody responses and memory B cells (Bmem) after COVID-19 booster vaccination in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients receiving anti-TNF treatment. Methodology: Blood was sampled at baseline, 1, and 6 months after WH1/BA.5 bivalent or XBB.1.5 monovalent vaccination from 27 IBD patients receiving
