OBJECTIVES: Monitoring the antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection and its correlation to clinical spectrum of disease is critical in understanding the disease progression and protection against re-infection. We assessed the nucleocapsid (N) and receptor-binding-domain of spike (SRBD) protein specific IgG and neutralizing antibody (NAb) responses in COVID-19 patients up to 8 months and its correlation with diverse disease spectrum.

METHODS: During the first wave of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, from 284 COVID-19 patients, 608 samples were collected up to 8 months post infection. The patients were categorized as asymptomatic, symptomatic and severe. The N and SRBD IgG and NAb titers were evaluated and correlated with clinical data.

RESULTS: A steep increase in antigen specific antibody titers was observed till 40 days post onset of the disease (POD), followed by a partial decline till 240 days. Severe disease was associated with a stronger SRBD IgG response and higher NAb titers. The persistence of antibody response was observed in 76% against N, 80% against SRBD and 80% for NAbs of cases up to 8 months POD.

CONCLUSION: RBD and N protein specific IgG persisted till 240 days POD which correlated with NAb response, irrespective of individual`s symptomatic status indicating overall robust protection against re-infection.
