Background Sotrovimab, a monoclonal antibody against SARS-CoV-2, is used as pre-exposition prophylaxis (PrEP) COVID-19, but monitoring strategies using routine test systems have not been defined. Methods Twenty kidney transplant recipients without antibodies after vaccination received 500 mg Sotrovimab. Antibody levels were quantified over eight weeks live-virus neutralization (BA1 and BA2), binding assays (TrimericS, Elecsys, QuantiVAC) surrogate virus tests (sVNTs; TECOmedical, cPass NeutraLISA). Results Sotrovimab neutralized both Omicron subvariants NT titer 90 (+−50) > BA2 33 (+−15) one hour post infusion). was measurable on all immunoassays, although prior 1:100 dilution necessary for Elecsys due to presumed prozone effect. The best correlation with titers found QuantiVAC TrimericS, respective R2 of 0.65/0.59 0.76/0.57 BA1/BA2. showed an 0.56/0.54 BA1/BA2, respectively. sVNT values increased infusion had only poor (TECOmedical cPass) or did reach positivity thresholds (NeutraLISA).

Humoral response to SARS-CoV-2 has been studied, predominantly the classical IgG and its subclasses. Although IgE antibodies are typically specific allergens or parasites, a few reports describe their production in other viruses. Here, we investigated receptor binding domain (RBD) of Brazilian cohort following natural infection vaccination. Samples from 59 volunteers were assessed after (COVID-19), primary immunization with vectored (ChAdOx1) inactivated (CoronaVac) vaccines, booster mRNA (BNT162b2) vaccine. Natural COVID-19 induced IgE, but vaccination increased levels. Subjects vaccinated two doses ChAdOx1 exhibited more robust than those immunized CoronaVac; however, boosting BNT162b2, all groups presented similar showed intermediate-to-high avidity, especially We also found IgG4 antibodies, mainly booster, they moderately correlated IgE.

We established new variant-adapted surrogate virus neutralization test (sVNT) and assessed activity ancestral B.1 (WT) VOC Delta, Omicron BA.1, BA.2, BA.5. Analytical performances were compared respective to reference (VNT) two CE-IVD labeled kits using three cohorts collected during COVID-19 waves.

The clinical utility serology should be reevaluated in light the emergence escape variants, as commercial antibody-binding assays have not been adapted to virus’ antigenic evolution. We compared anti-SARS-CoV-2 four quantitative serological tests based on variable ancestral spike antigens (three in-house ELISAs prototype VIDAS IgG QUANT assay) neutralization pseudotyped Wuhan, BA.2, BA.4/5, BQ.1.1, XBB.1.1 viruses a cohort 100 patients infected 2020 or during Omicron waves. Binding correlated well with neutralizing for but association decreased BQ.1.1 XBB.1 (for assay, Spearman’s correlation was 0.82 [95% CI 0.74–0.88] 0.61 [0.46–0.72] BA.2 XBB.1, respectively). In 15% no antibodies assay still yielded ranging from 74 7,652 units/mL. Using an adjusted threshold receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, specificity detection increased 0.15 (95% 0.02–0.45) 0.17 (0.04–0.41) 0.92 (0.64–1.00) 0.83 (0.59–0.96) respectively.
