Figure 8. Violin plots of neutralizing, ADCP, and ADCC responses in prepandemic serums and plasma samples used to study coronavirus antibody responses before COVID-19 pandemic, Thailand and Africa. A) Pseudovirus neutralization against SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2. The plot shows fold change of the ID50 for SARS-CoV-1 or SARS-CoV-2 over the ID50 for spike glycoprotein of the vesicular stomatitis virus control pseudoviruses. B) ADCP against MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV-1, and SARS-CoV-2. C) ADCC against SARS-CoV-2. Positive threshold is defined as mean of the negative control samples +3 SD. Solid lines link each sample between plots. Dotted lines indicate positive thresholds for each assay. Samples are color-coded for the participant’s country of origin. ADCC, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity; ADCP, antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis; ID50, 50% inhibitory dilution; MERS-CoV, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus.
