IgG3 and IgM Identified as Key to SARS-CoV-2 Neutralization in Convalescent Plasma Pools

Christina Kober et al.

Summary: Analysis of convalescent plasma shows that IgG3 and IgM play important roles in binding to SARS-CoV-2 antigens and strongly correlate with viral neutralization. Despite the relatively small mass, IgG3 and IgM collectively account for approximately 80% of the total neutralization. This has significant implications for the development of COVID-19 therapies.

The FCGR2A rs1801274 polymorphism was associated with the risk of death among COVID-19 patients

Rocio Lopez-Martinez et al.

Summary: This study found a significant association between the G allele of FCGR2A rs1801274 and the risk of death in COVID-19 patients. This association was independent of age and increased IL-6 and D-dimer levels. However, the study has limitations and further validation in larger cohorts is necessary.

FcγR-mediated SARS-CoV-2 infection of monocytes activates inflammation

Caroline Junqueira et al.

Summary: This study suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection in monocytes and macrophages, mediated by antibody uptake, triggers inflammatory cell death and systemic inflammation, which prevents the production of infectious virus but contributes to COVID-19 pathogenesis.

Brief Research Report: Virus-Specific Humoral Immunity at Admission Predicts the Development of Respiratory Failure in Unvaccinated SARS-CoV-2 Patients

Ana Tajuelo et al.

Summary: This study found that patients with respiratory failure (RF) who survived infection had significantly higher levels of IgM, IgG, IgG1, and neutralizing antibodies compared to those who succumbed to infection. These findings suggest that using humoral response variables could serve as prognostic markers for guiding the clinical management of unvaccinated patients admitted to the hospital for SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The Kinetics of SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Development Is Associated with Clearance of RNAemia

Chuangqi Wang et al.

Summary: We found that persistent SARS-CoV-2 RNAemia independently predicts severe COVID-19. We observed that the maturation of SARS-CoV-2-targeted antibodies, specifically Fc-effector functions rather than neutralization, is strongly associated with the ability to rapidly clear viremia.

Population-specific diversity of the immunoglobulin constant heavy G chain (IGHG) genes

Arman A. Bashirova et al.

Summary: Human IgG molecules, including IgG1, IgG2, and IgG3, exhibit significant inter-individual variation in their constant heavy chain regions, which may influence antibody function. Variation in IGHG2 and IGHG3 genes is higher in individuals of African descent compared to European descent. The study provides a comprehensive analysis of IgG polymorphisms across major populations, which can be used to decipher their functional impact.

SARS-CoV-2 structural features may explain limited neutralizing-antibody responses

Martin F. Bachmann et al.

Summary: The study suggests that the structural features of coronaviruses contribute to the low and short duration of neutralizing antibody responses by having loosely floating and widely spaced neutralizing epitopes, which leads to poor complement recruitment and suboptimal stimulation of B cells.

The Characterization of Disease Severity Associated IgG Subclasses Response in COVID-19 Patients

Huanle Luo et al.

Summary: Increasing evidence suggests immune responses are associated with COVID-19 outcomes. IgG subclasses and cytokines had significant correlations with disease severity. Older patients and those with comorbidities showed higher antibody levels and affected IgG1 and IgG3 responses.

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.
