                    Snippet: Neutralizing antibodies targeting the Spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) block viral entry to host cells, preventing disease and further spread of the pathogen. The presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in serum is a reliable indicator of infection, used epidemiologically to estimate the prevalence of infection and clinically as a measurement of an antigen-specific immune response. In this study, we analyzed serum Spike protein-specific IgG antibodies from

The presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in serum is a reliable indicator of infection, used epidemiologically to estimate the prevalence of infection and clinically as a measurement of an antigen-specific immune response. In this study, we analyzed serum Spike protein-specific IgG antibodies from 26,170 samples, including convalescent individuals who had coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and recipients of the BNT162b2 vaccine. We find distinct serological patterns in COVID-19 convalescent and vaccinated individuals, correlated with age and gender and the presence symptoms.
