Table. SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid total immunoglobulin seroreversion by GAMM and half-life methods, by months from infection, among healthcare workers in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, 2020*.

Months GAMM, % (95% CI) Half-life, % (95% CI)
4 0 (0–4.9) 0.6 (0.6–0.6)
6 2.7 (3.0–9.5) 1.2 (1.0–1.3)
8 5.5 (1.5–13.4) 2.1 (1.8–2.6)
10 9.6 (3.9–18.8) 3.8 (2.9- 4.8)
12 11 (4.9–20.5) 6.2 (4.7–8.3)
14 12.3 (5.8–22.1) 9.8 (7.2–13.3)
16 13.7 (6.8–23.8) 14.8 (10.6–20.1)
18 15.1 (7.8–25.4) 21.1 (15.0–28.7)
24 NC 48.9 (36.1–62.1)

*The GAMM method estimates are restricted to observational data and therefore not calculated more than 18 months postinfection. Half-life method represents constant log linear antibody contraction with an estimated peak total nucleocapsid antibody level that had a cutoff index of 37 and a half-life of 128 days. GAMM, generalized additive mixed model; NC, not calculated.
