Transplant: No or Few Antibodies after COVID Vaccination

I had a kidney transplant coming up on 4 year mark. I take 1250mg Mycophenolateand 2.5mg Tacrolimus. I test zero my first two shots. Then at 3 months I had 48 and two weeks later on day of the third shot I had 40. One week after the booster I hit 2500. I was shocked. I took Pfizer on all three shots.

Interesting that you had Pfizer vaccinations and you are on Mycophenolate. I remember listening to the John Hopkins webinar and they said that certain variables contributed to more or less antibodies developing. I figured since I am 62, just one year out from my transplant, on Mycophenolate, and had both Pfizer vaccinations I wouldn’t be likely to develop any. So, good to know that you did.

@zon is the JH study also testing your T and B cells? If so, what kind of results have you seen? Does there appear to be a correlation between your antibodies results and the T and B cells? I am pretty sure that our immune suppression drugs specifically target the T and B cells to avoid rejection, but I am not positive about that. I think I saw on the JH study description that JH was going to test those cells in addition to the antibodies? Thank you again for sharing your experience!! This really helps me to understand my own results and gives me hope for the future!
