The variability of the serological response to SARS-corona virus-2: Potential resolution of ambiguity through determination of avidity (functional affinity)

Georg Bauer

Summary: Analysis of 16 recent reports on the serological response to SARS-CoV-2 showed high variability, with IgM and IgG responses unable to clearly distinguish early, intermediate, and past infections. A proposed model explains this variability and suggests the potential use of avidity determination for various diagnostic and epidemiological applications, including COVID-19 diagnosis and vaccination program control.

Evolution of antibody immunity to SARS-CoV-2

Christian Gaebler et al.

Summary: After infection with SARS-CoV-2, antibody levels against the spike protein decrease significantly, but the number of memory B cells remain unchanged, indicating an evolving humoral response at 6.2 months after infection.

Comparison of Four SARS-CoV-2 Neutralization Assays

Lydia Riepler et al.

Summary: Neutralizing antibodies are crucial for protection against viruses like SARS-CoV-2. This study compared four different assays for detecting these antibodies and found that they were all robust and yielded comparable results, indicating their reliability.
