Antibodies to seasonal human-coronaviruses (sHCoV) may cross-protect against SARS-CoV-2. We investigated antibody responses in biobanked serum obtained before the pandemic from infants with polymerase chain reaction-confirmed sHCoV. Among 141 samples with antibodies to sHCoV, 4 (2.8%) were positive for SARS-CoV-2-S1 and 8 (5.7%) for SARS-CoV-2-S2. Antibodies to sHCoV rarely cross-react with SARS-CoV-2 antigens and are unlikely to account for mild pediatric illness.
针对季节性人类冠状病毒(sHCoV)的抗体可能对 SARS-CoV-2 具有交叉保护作用。我们研究了大流行前从聚合酶链反应确认的 sHCoV 的婴儿的生物库血清中获得的抗体反应。在 141 份具有 sHCoV 抗体的样本中,有 4 份(2.8%)对 SARS-CoV-2-S1 呈阳性,8 份(5.7%)对 SARS-CoV-2-S2 呈阳性。针对 sHCoV 的抗体很少与 SARS-CoV-2 抗原发生交叉反应,不太可能导致儿童轻症疾病。
