SARS-CoV-2 infection elicits a rapid neutralizing antibody response that correlates with disease severity

Abstract The protective effect of neutralizing antibodies in SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals is not yet well defined. To address this issue, we have analyzed the kinetics of neutralizing antibody responses and their association with disease severity. Between March and May 2020, the prospective KING...
