Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by SARS-CoV-2, varies with regard to symptoms and mortality rates among populations. Humoral immunity plays critical roles in SARS-CoV-2 infection and recovery from COVID-19. However, differences in immune responses and clinical features among COVID-19 patients remain largely unknown. Here, we report a database for COVID-19-specific IgG/IgM immune responses and clinical parameters (named COVID-ONE-hi). COVID-ONE-hi is based on the data that contain the IgG/IgM responses to 24 full-length/truncated proteins corresponding to 20 of 28 known SARS-CoV-2 proteins and 199 spike protein peptides against 2360 serum samples collected from 783 COVID-19 patients. In addition, 96 clinical parameters for the 2360 serum samples and basic information for the 783 patients are integrated into the database. Furthermore, COVID-ONE-hi provides a dashboard for defining samples and a one-click analysis pipeline for a single group or paired groups. A set of samples of interest is easily defined by adjusting the scale bars of a variety of parameters. After the “START” button is clicked, one can readily obtain a comprehensive analysis report for further interpretation. COVID-ONE-hi is freely available at www.COVID-ONE.cn.

    Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
    Nonetheless, there are some limitations for COVID-ONE humoral immunity. For example, it lacks data for convalescent patients, peptide-level humoral responses to proteins other than S protein, and multicentre samples. In the future, we will assay the dynamic responses of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies using ∼500 serum samples from ∼100 COVID-19 convalescent patients. We will also integrate published peptide microarray/phage display-related data[15-17, 30] and attempt to update the database covering the whole SARS-CoV-2 proteome at the peptide or amino acid level. In addition, the SARS-CoV-2 protein microarray has already been promoted by CDI Labs (www.cdi.bio) and ArrayJet (www.arrayjet.co.uk), and we anticipate more diverse data for SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody responses from multicentre samples. We strongly believe that by sharing a large dataset and facilitating data analysis, COVID-19 humoral immune is a valuable resource for COVID-19 research.
