    From hype to immunological reality

    Abstract The potential role for serological tests in the current COVID-19 pandemic has generated very considerable recent interest across many sectors worldwide, inter alia pathologists seeking additional weapons for their armoury of diagnostic tests; epidemiologists seeking tools to gain seroprevalence data that will inform improved models of the spread of disease; research scientists seeking tools to study the natural history of COVID-19 disease; vaccine developers seeking tools to assess vaccine efficacy in clinical trials; and companies and governments seeking tools to aid return-to-work decision-making. However, much of the local debate to date has centred on questions surrounding whether regulatory approval processes are limiting access to serological tests, and has not paused to consider the intrinsically limiting impact of underlying fundamental biology and immunology on where and how different COVID-19 serological tests can usefully be deployed in the response to the current pandemic. We review, from an immunological perspective, recent experimental evidence on the time-dependency of adaptive immune responses following SARS-CoV-2 infection and the impact of this on the sensitivity and specificity of COVID-19 antibody tests made at different time points post infection. We interpret this scientific evidence in terms of mooted clinical applications for current COVID-19 antibody tests in identifying acute infections, in confirming recent or past infections at the individual and population level, and in detecting re-infection and protective immunity. We conclude with guidance on where current COVID-19 antibody tests can make a genuine impact in the pandemic.

    Abstract Introduction Seroprevalence surveys can estimate the cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a symptom-independent manner, offering valuable data, including herd immunity, that can inform national and local public health policies. To our knowledge, there have been no large studies reporting seroprevalence in healthcare workers (HCWs) in the state of Arkansas. The objective of this study is to measure SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in HCWs in a large tertiary-care healthcare system prior to vaccine availability. Methods The Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System offered SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing prior to the widespread availability of vaccines. After Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System institutional review board (IRB) approval had been obtained, a retrospective chart review was used to identify all Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System HCWs who had undergone SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing from July 1, 2020, to September 30, 2020. Descriptive analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington, United States). Correlation and regression tests were performed using SAS 9.4 software (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC). Results Over the study interval, 170 healthcare personnel had undergone SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike IgG antibody testing. Thirty-seven (21.8%) had positive antibody results. The 37 individuals were mostly women (94.5%), and the average age of the group was 47 years (range 29-69 years). The median antibody titers for those testing positive for antibodies were 10.8 units (range 1.1-58.5). Of the 37 people, 32 had a history of COVID-19 infection proven by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Conclusion Serologic testing is feasible for healthcare workers to document an immune response to a prior infection. In this study of HCWs, the rate of positivity among those tested was 21.8%. Data that do not incorporate the cohort of patients with prior infections will underestimate the impact of prior infections on herd immunity statistics and may misinform public policy.

    Abstract The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly spread around the world, impacting every aspect of life. Valuable research is currently being conducted to understand disease transmission, detection, and treatment. As countries begin to relax policies aimed to reduce disease transmission, contact tracing and antibody testing will likely be incorporated to slow the spread of COVID-19. However, future research is needed to determine if the presence of COVID-19 antibodies offers immunity.
