Fc-mediated activities of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies in sera of PLWH vs. PWOH after COVID-19 mRNA vaccinations. Fc functions of spike-, RBD, S1- and S2-specific antibodies were measured in serially diluted sera from 36 PLWH (circles) vs. 24 PWOH (triangles). Fc functional potencies were calculated by dividing Fc activity levels (AUC) with total Ig amounts (AUC) for the respective antigens. (A) C1q binding potencies of spike-, RBD, S1- and S2-specific antibodies. (B) FcγRIIIa binding potencies of spike-, RBD, S1- and S2-specific antibodies. (C) Spike- and RBD-specific ADCP activities. (D) Spike-specific ADCC activities. Red line: median. (E) Radar chart showing functional potencies of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies in 36 PWH (blue) vs. 24 PWOH (orange). Open symbols: individuals with high-level anti-nucleoprotein total Ig. ** p < 0.01; * p < 0.05; ns p ≥ 0.05 by Mann-Whitney test.
