Fig. 2. Neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 variants by convalescent serum.

Fig. 2

a Quantification of serum antibody levels (EC50) that recognize RBD protein corresponding to the wild-type (WA1)(blue circles), B.1.1.7 (orange squares), and B.1.351 (green triangles) variants. n = 50 biologically independent samples. Data are presented as the mean ± SD of log transformed values. b Comparison of neutralization titers between WA1, B.1.1.7, and B.1.351 for convalescent sera. n = 44 biologically independent samples. c Relationship between convalescent antibody levels and neutralization (FRNT50) of the different viral variants. d, e Correlations between convalescent serum neutralization titer of the B.1.1.7 (d) and B.1.351 (e) variants with the WA1 virus. The dotted diagonal lines indicate identical neutralization, and the solid diagonal black lines indicate 10-fold differences in neutralization. f Violin plots indicating FRNT50 values for WA1 (blue), B.1.1.7 (orange), and B.1.351 (green), stratified by the number of days between the date of confirmatory COVID-19 PCR test and the date of serum sample collection. Black bars indicate median FRNT50 for each group. For a, b, f P values are two-sided and include a Šidák multiple comparison correction. All experiments were performed in duplicate.
