Sex differences in the evolution of neutralizing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2

alkiviadis.1961 shared this article with you from Inoreader Sex differences in the evolution of neutralizing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 Via Journal of Infectious Diseases - Advance Access Abstract We measured Anti-Spike (S), Nucleoprotein (N) and neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) in sera from 308 RT-qPCR + healthcare workers with mild disease, collected at two time-points up to 6 months after symptom onset. At Month 1 (M1), anti-S and N antibody levels were higher in males > 50 years or with a body mass index (BMI) > 25. At M3-6, anti-S and anti-N antibodies were detected in 99% and 59% of individuals, respectively. Anti-S antibodies and NAbs declined faster in males than in females, independently of age and BMI, suggesting an association of sex with evolution of the humoral response. View on the web Inoreader.
