Early Humoral Response Correlates with Disease Severity and Outcomes in COVID-19 Patients 2020-09-23 .txt text/plain 4628 272 57 Our data show that SARS-CoV-2 specific IgG, IgM and neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) were readily detectable in almost all COVID-19 patients with various clinical presentations. Here, we studied the kinetics of SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies to S1 and N viral proteins in blood samples collected between 4 to 70 days post-symptoms onset from a cohort of 87 COVID-19 patients with different disease presentations (i.e. mild, moderate or severe) or outcomes (i.e. survival vs death). Comparing the kinetics of antibody response in COVID-19 patients who had fatal outcomes to those who survived the infection also showed that early induction of anti-N IgG and IgM during the first 15 days post-disease onset is indicative of fatal outcomes (Figure 4c) . In this study we studied the characteristics and kinetics of SARS-CoV-2 specific antibody response (nAbs, IgG and IgM) in a series of serum samples collected from a total of 87 confirmed COVID-19 hospitalized patients over a period of 70 days post-symptoms onset. ./cache/cord-276139-l13hbucu.txt ./txt/cord-276139-l13hbucu.txt
