Fig. 4. Neutralizing antibody response is stronger in patients with a GG genotype than in AA + GA patients.

Fig. 4.

(A) Antibody neutralizing activity was assessed by measuring the capacity of plasma to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binding to its receptor (ACE2). The frequency of patients displaying a neutralizing antibody response (>50% neutralization at 1/80 dilution) is shown for both groups of patients (GG and AA + GA genotypes), at both time points. Statistical significance of the differences between the two groups of patients is shown on top (Mann-Whitney test). (B) The percentage of neutralization by patients’ plasma at the acute phase of the infection correlates with the frequency of triple-positive CD69+CD4+ T cells after in vitro stimulation with a selected pool of SARS-CoV-2 peptides. The correlation coefficient (Spearman’s r) and the associated probability (P) are shown.
