Immune response phenotyping based on the late IgG levels and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was characterized to stratified patients into different disease severities and outcomes. Here, we evaluated antibody response within 35 days after symptom onset in laboratory-confirmed cases with COVID-19 as one component of an overall exaggerated immune activation in severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, and developed an immune phenotyping based on the late IgG response and NLR that could help determine disease severity and clinical outcome for COVID-19 patients. Using two immune responserelated indicators NLR and IgG levels detected in sera at late stage, we developed a combined immune response phenotype, which could predict disease severity and the outcome of COVID-19 patients. ./cache/cord-252288-klkoerfn.txt ./txt/cord-252288-klkoerfn.txt
