COVID-19 Serology Data Provide Guidance for Future Deployments of Convalescent Plasma
Abstract
Measurement of antibody content and function after a viral illness is important for diagnosis and selection of the best convalescent plasma (CP) units for passive immunization. Zhang et al. (mBio 14:e03523-22, 2013, https://doi.org/10.1128/mbio.03523-22 ) analyzed over 19,000 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) CP (CCP) samples from the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and reported a moderately strong correlation between antibody amount and neutralizing titer.
