Abstract:
Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO) has highlighted the importance of an international standard (IS) for SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody titer detection, with the aim of calibrating different diagnostic techniques. In this study, IS was applied to calibrate neutralizing antibody titers (IU/mL) and binding antibody titers (BAU/mL) in response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. Serum samples were collected from participants receiving the Moderna (n = 20) and Pfizer (n = 20) vaccines at three time points: pre-vaccination, after one dose, and after two doses. We obtained geometric mean titers of 1404.16 and 928.75 IU/mL for neutralizing antibodies after two doses of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, respectively. These values provide an important baseline for vaccine development and the implementation of non-inferiority trials. We also compared three commercially available kits from Roche, Abbott, and MeDiPro for the detection of COVID-19 antibodies based on binding affinity to S1 and/or RBD. Our results demonstrated that antibody titers measured by commercial assays are highly correlated with neutralizing antibody titers calibrated by IS.Keywords:

This study on the dynamic change of chicken antibody after inject IgY aims to provide a guidance for clinical use of yolk antibody.50 highland gray cocks whose maternal antibody attenuated to almost disappear randomly assigned into 2 groups.The experiment group were injected with 2 mL IgY including ND-Ab,AVI-Ab H5 and AVI-Ab H9 while the control group with 2 mL Sodium Chloride.The chicken serum antibody titer was measured by hemagglutination inhibition test at different time.Results: the ND-Ab titer was significantly higher than that of control group in 1-8 day(P0.01),AVI-Ab H5 titer was significantly higher than the control group in 1-11 day(P0.01),and AVI-Ab H9 titer was significantly higher than the control group in 1-14 day(P0.01).The serum antibody titers increased significantly just 1d post injection while the high antibody titers continued 5-6 days and then reduced gradually.The half life period of IgY in the serum was about 5days.It can be concluded that injecting the egg yolk antibody can significantly improve chicken serum antibody titer.

Objective To analyze the distribution and persistence of neutralizing antibody titer against human cytomegalovirus(HCMV) in plasma donors in Sichuan Province,China.Methods A total of 2 002 serum samples of health plasma donors were collected from 8 plasma stations in Sichuan Province and determined for neutralizing antibody titer by developed method,based on which the samples from 44 donors were traced for one year,and those from one donor for 4 years.Results The neutralizing antibody titers against HCMV in plasma donors in Sichuan Province were mainly distributed in 1 ∶ 16 ～ 1 ∶ 64,while the positive rate(not less than 1 ∶ 8) was 98.35%,of which 8.04% were not less than 1 ∶ 192.The neutralizing antibody titers of 44 plasma donors were stable within the past one year.However,the neutralizing antibody titers of the donors traced for 4 years were maintained at high levels.Conclusion The natural infection rate of HCMV was high in plasma donors in Sichuan Province.The HCMV neutralizing antibody titers were high and persistent in partial donors.It provided a basis for preparation of HCMV-specific IgG.

Knowledge of the SARS-CoV-2 antibody titers induced by tixagevimab–cilgavimab in patients with hematologic diseases remains insufficient. Here, we performed a single-center, prospective study to reveal the changes in antibody titer after administration of tixagevimab–cilgavimab in 78 patients with hematologic diseases. The median peak titer was 155.4 U/mL, and the median AUC was 46556 days·U/mL. First, we compared several characteristics between patients with low titers (peak titer ≤ 155.4 U/mL) and high titers (peak titer > 155.4 U/mL). We extracted 6 factors (patient age, sex, ECOG-PS, serum albumin level, and cross-sectional area and computed tomographic number of the psoas major muscle) as candidates influencing the antibody titers. Multiple regression analysis revealed that antibody titer was closely associated with these 6 factors (contribution rate = 0.76, p = 0.02). Our data support the inability of tixagevimab–cilgavimab to induce sufficient antibody titers against SARS-CoV-2, especially in older, frailer, female patients.

Many variants of SARS-CoV-2 have emerged, and decreased neutralizing antibodies after vaccination and breakthrough infections have become a problem. The importance of monitoring titers of neutralizing antibodies is getting higher. We enrolled 146 COVID-19 patients, who were thought to be infected with Wuhan-hu-1 or D614G strains, and examined the time course of neutralizing titers against six concerning strains (Wuhan-hu-1, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Kappa, and Delta) using newly developed ELISA. The acquisition of neutralizing titer was positively associated with disease severity. Immune evasions were observed approximately 20 to 30% for Alpha, Kappa, and Delta variant, and 40 to 45% for Beta and Gamma variant. The titers against all strains decreased over time, and interestingly, while titers against Wuhan-hu-1 decreased by 23%, those to Delta variant decreased by 70%. Our simple, cost-effective, and non-hazardous system will be applicable to process numerous samples, such as monitoring titers against prevalent strains after infection or vaccination.

Client-owned puppies randomly were assigned to receive one of two commercially available polyvalent vaccines. The response to the parvovirus portion of each vaccine was evaluated by determining antibody titers by hemagglutination inhibition. Significant differences were found between titers produced by the vaccines. Puppies vaccinated with one of the products had a more desirable result as demonstrated by a protective antibody titer after the first vaccination (p of 0.005), a protective antibody titer at a younger age (p of 0.02), a protective antibody titer by 12 weeks of age (p of 0.001), and a protective antibody titer by 16 weeks of age (p of 0.05). Puppies vaccinated with this product also had significantly higher titers at each sampling after vaccination.
