Fig. 1: Characterization of neutralizing antibodies from convalescent patients.

a Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 S protein-specific antibodies. Upper panels: binding of antibodies to the full-length S protein, S1 protein, and S2 protein was evaluated by ELISA (in duplicates with symbols show each of the replicates). Lower left panel: blockage of the binding of SARS-CoV-2 Spike S1 protein to Vero E6 cells by antibodies evaluated by flow cytometry (data in singleton). Lower middle panel: pseudovirus neutralization assay in Huh-7 cells (data in singleton). Lower right panel: in triplicates with symbols show each of the triplicates and SARS-CoV-2 live virus neutralization assay. All experiments were repeated at least two more times (except S2 binding that was repeated one more time) with similar results. b Images of Vero E6 cell-infected SARS-CoV-2 treated with antibodies of different concentrations. Green (stained with SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (NP) antibody) indicates viral infected cells and blue (Hoechst 33258) represents cell nuclei. Experiment was performed in triplicates and repeated two more times with similar results.
