In vitro B cell activation by SARS-CoV-2 S-I53-50A.1NT1 and SARS-CoV-2 S-I53-50NPs
B cells expressing the SARS-CoV-2 S-protein-specific NAbs COVA1-18 (top) or COVA2-15 (bottom) as BCRs were incubated with either SARS-CoV-2 S-I53-50A.1NT1 (magenta), SARS-CoV-2 S-I53-50NP (green), ionomycin (beige), or BG505 I53-50NP (gray) or not stimulated (black). The experiments were performed with 5, 1, 0.2, or 0.04 μg/mL SARS-CoV-2 S-I53-50A.1NT1, as indicated in the top left corner of each graph, or the equimolar amount of SARS-CoV-2 S or BG505 SOSIP on I53-50NPs. Ionomycin was used at 1 mg/mL as a positive control.
