The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has seen multiple anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies being generated globally. It is difficult, however, to assemble a useful compendium of these biological properties if they are derived from experimental measurements performed at different sites under different experimental conditions. The Coronavirus Immunotherapeutic Consortium (COVIC) circumvents these issues by experimentally testing blinded antibodies side by side for several functional activities. To collect these data in a consistent fashion and make it publicly available, we established the COVIC database (COVIC-DB, https://covicdb.lji.org/). This database enables systematic analysis and interpretation of this large-scale dataset by providing a comprehensive view of various features such as affinity, neutralization, in vivo protection and effector functions for each antibody. Interactive graphs enable direct comparisons of antibodies based on select functional properties. We demonstrate how the COVIC-DB can be utilized to examine relationships among antibody features, thereby guiding the design of therapeutic antibody cocktails. Database URL https://covicdb.lji.org/.
由严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行在全球范围内产生了多种抗 SARS-CoV-2 抗体。然而,如果这些抗体是从不同地点、不同实验条件下进行的实验测量中得出的,那么将它们汇集在一起形成一份有用的生物学特性摘要将非常困难。冠状病毒免疫治疗联盟(COVIC)通过对盲测抗体进行平行的多项功能活性实验来规避这些问题。为了以一致的方式收集这些数据并使其公开可用,我们建立了 COVIC 数据库(COVIC-DB,https://covicdb.lji.org/)。该数据库通过提供对每种抗体的亲和力、中和作用、体内保护和效应功能等各种特征的全面视图,使对这一大规模数据集进行系统分析和解释成为可能。交互式图表可根据选定的功能特性直接比较抗体。我们展示了如何利用 COVIC-DB 来研究抗体特征之间的关系,从而指导治疗性抗体鸡尾酒的设计。数据库网址:https://covicdb.lji.org/。
