Abstract
Prospective serosurveillance of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in 1,069 healthcare workers in London, UK, demonstrated that nucleocapsid antibody titers were stable and sustained for <12 weeks in 312 seropositive participants. This finding was consistent across demographic and clinical variables and contrasts with reports of short-term antibody waning.
Keywords: COVID-19; London; SARS-CoV-2; antibodies; coronavirus disease; epidemiology; health personnel; healthcare workers; respiratory infections; serology; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; viruses; zoonoses.
