Antibody Response against SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Implications for Diagnosis, Treatment and Vaccine Development

Alessandra Mallano et al.

Summary: This review summarizes the main findings regarding the humoral immune response to COVID-19, focusing on levels and kinetics of antibodies in infected patients, as well as the specificity spectrum and neutralizing potential. Furthermore, it discusses the implications of these humoral response characteristics on serologic testing, convalescent plasma therapy, and neutralizing monoclonal antibody treatment, while also providing updates on specific neutralizing antibodies and suggestions for vaccine evaluation and development.

Avidity of IgG to SARS-CoV-2 RBD as a Prognostic Factor for the Severity of COVID-19 Reinfection

Victor Manuylov et al.

Summary: The avidity index (AI) of IgG to the RBD of SARS-CoV-2 was higher in patients with mild reinfection than primary infection, indicating a positive correlation with disease severity. Meanwhile, patients with low-avidity antibodies during reinfection were more likely to develop severe forms of COVID-19.

Different long-term avidity maturation for IgG anti-spike and anti-nucleocapsid SARS-CoV-2 in hospitalized COVID-19 patients

Laura Heireman et al.

Summary: The study measured SARS-CoV-2 IgG concentration and avidity in serum samples from COVID-19 patients, finding that anti-nucleocapsid IgG matures faster and decreases in avidity faster than anti-spike IgG, indicating different kinetics between the two types of IgG antibodies. Affinity maturation after SARS-CoV-2 infection is often incomplete.

High Titers of Low Affinity Antibodies in COVID-19 Patients Are Associated With Disease Severity

Jan Hendriks et al.

Summary: This study investigates the humoral antibody response in COVID-19 patients and its impact on disease progression. The findings suggest that antibody titers are positively associated with disease severity, while binding strength decreases with increasing severity. In critically ill patients, there is also a positive association between antibody titers and symptoms such as pulmonary embolism.

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.

The potential significance of high avidity immunoglobulin G (IgG) for protective immunity towards SARS-CoV-2

Georg Bauer

Summary: Avidity plays a crucial role in determining the strength of binding between IgG and its target epitope. The lack of high avidity IgG may lead to insufficient protective immunity. It is suggested to include avidity determination in evaluating vaccination protocols for SARS-CoV-2 to achieve truly protective immunity.

The challenge of avidity determination in SARS-CoV-2 serology

Georg Bauer et al.

Summary: Serological responses towards SARS-CoV-2 proteins show incomplete avidity maturation, but can still help define infection stages. Responses to seasonal coronaviruses do not generally impact SARS-CoV-2 serology, and avidity determination can differentiate between them.

Antibody affinity maturation and plasma IgA associate with clinical outcome in hospitalized COVID-19 patients

Juanjie Tang et al.

Summary: Hospitalized COVID-19 patients exhibit a wide range of clinical symptoms, with fatal cases showing high levels of inflammatory markers and antibodies compared to non-ICU survivors. Immune responses such as antibody binding and maturation play a crucial role in disease resolution. Understanding these immune parameters could aid in the development of vaccines and therapeutics against COVID-19.

Role of IgG against N-protein of SARS-CoV2 in COVID19 clinical outcomes

Mayank Batra et al.

Summary: This study found that titers of IgG targeting N-protein of SARS-CoV2 at admission are related to the clinical course of the disease. Higher CCI and IL6 levels were independently associated with in-hospital mortality while maintaining a high S/Co ratio (>1.5) also led to MICU admission and longer hospital stays.

SARS-CoV-2 IgG response in symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19-infected healthcare workers

E. Cordova et al.

Summary: The study found that symptomatic and older healthcare workers infected with COVID-19 are more likely to have SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies, with a higher positivity rate compared to asymptomatic cases. The positivity rate does not decrease over time. Only a history of COVID-19 symptoms and age are identified as independent factors associated with the detection of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies.

Summary: The study found that both symptomatic and asymptomatic Saudi individuals infected with the novel coronavirus have IgG and IgM antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, with higher titers in symptomatic patients. Using N + S proteins as antibody capture antigens in ELISA greatly increased detectability of infection.

Summary: This study identified antibody epitopes associated with severe COVID-19 outcomes and introduced a disease risk factor score for early identification and triage of high-risk patients, showing a 96.7% specificity in predicting severe disease outcomes. This information could guide more effective therapeutic intervention for COVID-19 patients.

Temporal maturation of neutralizing antibodies in COVID-19 convalescent individuals improves potency and breadth to circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants

Saya Moriyama et al.

Summary: Antibody titers against SARS-CoV-2 decrease over time, but the neutralizing potency against the original virus and variants actually improves with time. Late convalescent antibodies show increased neutralization potency against variants, suggesting that antibody response maturation enhances cross-neutralizing ability against circulating variants. This indicates that declining antibody titers may not necessarily mean declining protection.

Vaccination versus infection with SARS-CoV-2: Establishment of a high avidity IgG response versus incomplete avidity maturation

Friedhelm Struck et al.

Summary: The study confirmed incomplete avidity maturation of IgG in COVID-19 patients towards SARS-CoV-2 proteins, potentially hindering the establishment of herd immunity and facilitating secondary infections. In contrast, vaccination with BioNTech mRNA vaccine rapidly induced high avidity in SARS-CoV-2 naive individuals, emphasizing the importance of vaccination in promoting avidity maturation and immunity.
