Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with a wide spectrum of disease presentation, ranging from asymptomatic infection to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Paradoxically, a direct relationship has been suggested between COVID-19 disease severity and the levels of circulating severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific antibodies, including virus-neutralizing titers. A serological analysis of 536 convalescent healthcare workers reveals that SARS-CoV-2-specific and virus-neutralizing antibody levels are elevated in individuals that experience severe disease. The severity-associated increase in SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody is dominated by immunoglobulin G (IgG), with an IgG subclass ratio skewed toward elevated receptor binding domain (RBD)- and S1-specific IgG3. In addition, individuals that experience severe disease show elevated SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody binding to the inflammatory receptor FcɣRIIIa. Based on these correlational studies, we propose that spike-specific IgG subclass utilization may contribute to COVID-19 disease severity through potent Fc-mediated effector functions. These results may have significant implications for SARS-CoV-2 vaccine design and convalescent plasma therapy. Levels of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and neutralizing titers rise with COVID-19 severity IgG1 and IgG3 dominate the SARS-CoV-2 convalescent antibody pool Increases in spike-specific IgG3 subclass ratios correlate with severe COVID-19 Enhanced FcɣRIIIa binding is observed in severe COVID-19 cohorts In a serological analysis of convalescent healthcare workers, Yates et al. explore antibody profiles associated with COVID-19 severity. Their analysis reveals an IgG subclass ratio skewed toward IgG3 that correlates with COVID-19 disease severity. The authors hypothesize a link between IgG3, Fc effector functions, and inflammation characteristic of severe COVID-19.
