Background: The presented research made it possible to obtain the characteristics of changes in anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG within one year of vaccination in healthcare workers.
Materials And Methods: The research group consisted of 18,610 participants represented by medical and administration staff. IgG antibody concentrations were determined by ELISA.
Results: At 5-8 months after full vaccination, the levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG with equal vaccines were similar. The exception was JNJ-78436735, for which IgG levels were significantly lower. In the 9th month after vaccination, an increase in the anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG level, suggesting asymptomatic infection, was observed in a large group of participants. Significantly higher levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies were observed after the booster dose compared to the second dose. The increase in antibodies was observed already around the 5th day after the injection of the booster dose, and was maximized at approximately the 14th day.
Conclusion: The cut-off date for protection against the disease seems to be the period 8-9 months from the vaccination for mRNA vaccines and 5-6 months for vector vaccines. The introduction of a booster dose was the right decision, which could have a real impact on restricting the further transmission of the virus.

Objectives: This study compared the diagnostic accuracy of seven different commercial serological assays for COVID-19, using RT-PCR as the gold standard, through meta-analysis and indirect comparison.
Methods: Fifty-seven studies, published from November 2019 to June 2024, were included. The diagnostic performance of IgA, IgG, and total antibody assays for SARS-CoV-2 was assessed.

Background And Aims: Understanding the determinants of humoral immunity following COVID-19 infection is essential for guiding vaccination and public health strategies. This study aimed to investigate the association between cycle threshold (Ct) values and SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody reactivity 1 month after recovery in a Middle Eastern cohort, and to identify other contributing factors.
Methods: A case-control study was conducted among COVID-19 patients registered in the Qatar Biobank between March and September 2020.

There is an increasing need to understand the long-term dynamics and quality of SARS-CoV-2 immune memory-both humoral and cellular-particularly with emerging variants. This study aimed to evaluate immune durability and variant-specific modulation through a longitudinal analysis of individuals with diverse SARS-CoV-2 exposure histories, over two years after infection and/or vaccination. The study involved assessing anti-spike IgG and IgA levels over time and analyzing their relationship with neutralizing activity against both ancestral and Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Background: Vaccination effectively reduces the risk of infection, including COVID-19 yet older adults often receive insufficient attention despite their increased vulnerability. The study aimed to correlate serological results with underlying conditions, vaccination status, and COVID-19 history.
Methods: This non-interventional, multicenter study aimed to assess vaccination coverage and SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels among residents of eight long-term care facilities (LTCFs) in Southern Poland.

Introduction: Long-term SARS-CoV-2-IgG antibody durability after natural infection remains a critical determinant of long-term protection. However, the factors that affect long-term IgG antibody durability are not fully understood.
Methods: This study delves into the clinical and host genetic factors influencing the level of long-term anti-SARS-CoV-2-receptor-binding domain IgG (RBD-IgG) antibodies after natural infection during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic (17 January to 24 June 2020).
