Dynamics and Correlation Among Viral Positivity, Seroconversion, and Disease Severity in COVID-19 A Retrospective Study

Yu Fu et al.

Summary: The study found that among patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19, the viral PCR positivity rate peaked within the first 3 days, while the seroconversion rate peaked within 4 to 5 weeks. Critically ill patients had a longer duration of viral positivity, and low IgM titers were identified as an independent risk factor for persistent viral positivity.

Factors associated with anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody production in patients convalescing from COVID-19

Satoshi Kutsuna et al.

Summary: The study found that male sex, high C-reactive protein levels during the acute phase, and diabetes mellitus were associated with elevated antibody titers in convalescent COVID-19 patients. Antibody titers tended to peak in the first 5 or 6 weeks after symptom onset.

Assessment of S1-, S2-, and NCP-Specific IgM, IgA, and IgG Antibody Kinetics in Acute SARS-CoV-2 Infection by a Microarray and Twelve Other Immunoassays

Georg Semmler et al.

Summary: This study found that differences in sensitivity among commercial immunoassays during acute SARS-CoV-2 infection are only partly related to the target antigen. NCP-specific IgA and IgG antibodies are detected earlier, while higher levels of S1-specific IgA antibodies occur in severely ill patients.

Antibody response patterns in COVID-19 patients with different levels of disease severity in Japan

Kazuo Imai et al.

Summary: The study analyzed antibody response patterns of COVID-19 patients in Japan according to disease severity. Results showed that patients with severe and critical cases had stronger antibody responses 11 days after symptom onset, while mild cases had lower seroconversion rates of antibodies against N and S1.

Validation of a new automated chemiluminescent anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG antibody assay system detecting both N and S proteins in Japan

Rin Yokoyama et al.

Summary: The study validated the usefulness of measuring serum antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 using the iFlash3000 CLIA analyzer, demonstrating that the measurement system successfully detects SARS-CoV-2 IgM/IgG with good repeatability and precision. The new automated method for detecting antibodies against N and S proteins of SARS-CoV-2 shows sufficient performance for laboratory testing, with concordance rates of 98.1% for SARS-CoV-2 IgM and 100% for IgG among PCR-negative cases.

Yuki Nakano et al.

Summary: This study focused on investigating the time courses of SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG titers in patients in Japan, finding that the sensitivity of antibody tests varied significantly at different time points after symptom onset, with increased accuracy as the days since onset increased.

Comparative Analysis of Antigen-Specific Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Isotypes in COVID-19 Patients

Hidetsugu Fujigaki et al.

Summary: This study investigated the kinetics and neutralizing activity of various Ag-specific Ab isotypes against SARS-CoV-2 in serum of COVID-19 patients, with IgG against RBD showing the best correlation with virus-neutralizing activity. The results provide valuable information for the selection of serological tests for seroprevalence and vaccine evaluation studies.

Clinical characteristics and antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 spike 1 protein using VITROS Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests in COVID-19 patients in Japan

Mayu Nagura-Ikeda et al.

Summary: Serological tests for COVID-19 play an important role in surveillance and diagnosis. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of VITROS SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests in patients with different severity of COVID-19 in Japan. The intensity of total and IgG antibodies was significantly higher in severe cases compared to mild cases, especially after 11 days of symptom onset.

Longitudinal detection of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody responses with different serological methods

Petra Emmerich et al.

Summary: Serological testing for anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies was conducted using 129 serum samples from patients with confirmed COVID-19 and healthy donors, with different assays showing varying sensitivities and specificities. IgA and IgM assays had higher sensitivities, peaking between 11 and 20 days post symptom onset, while IgG assays peaked between 20 and 60 days. The use of IIFT with the whole SARS-CoV-2 substrate showed the highest sensitivities in detecting prior infections.

Serological analysis reveals an imbalanced IgG subclass composition associated with COVID-19 disease severity

Jennifer L. Yates et al.

Summary: The severity of COVID-19 is associated with elevated levels of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies in severe cases, with spike-specific IgG subclass utilization potentially contributing to disease severity through potent Fc-mediated effector functions. These findings may have significant implications for SARS-CoV-2 vaccine design and convalescent plasma therapy.

Dynamics of neutralizing antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 in patients with COVID-19: an observational study

Xin Xu et al.

Summary: According to a study in Hubei, China, the dynamics of neutralizing antibody (NAbs) response to SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 patients showed that NAbs seroconversion occurred at around 5.5 days post onset, with a positivity rate of 52% within the first week, reaching 100% by the third week, and maintaining above 97% for up to 6 months. NAbs peaked in the fourth week and were positively associated with disease severity and age, while inversely associated with serum albumin levels. The half-life of NAbs was 61 days within the first two months, which then slowed to 104 days afterward.

Comprehensive analysis of SARS-CoV-2 antibody dynamics in New Zealand

Alana L. Whitcombe et al.

Summary: This study found that antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 can persist for up to 8 months following mild-to-moderate infection, with RBD and S protein IgG, as well as NAbs, being relatively stable over time. The robust antibody response observed may be attributed to the initial exposure without immune boosting due to lack of community transmission in New Zealand.
