Abstract

Antibodies represent a primary mediator of protection against respiratory viruses. Serum neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) are often considered a primary correlate of protection. However, detailed antibody profiles including characterization of antibody functions in different anatomic compartments are poorly understood. Here we show that antibody correlates of protection against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) challenge are different in systemic versus mucosal compartments in rhesus macaques. In serum, NAbs were the strongest correlate of protection and linked to spike-specific binding antibodies and other extra-NAb functions that create a larger protective network. In bronchiolar lavage (BAL), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) proved the strongest correlate of protection rather than NAbs. Within BAL, ADCP was linked to mucosal spike-specific immunoglobulin (Ig)G, IgA/secretory IgA, and Fcγ-receptor binding antibodies. Our results support a model in which antibodies with different functions mediate protection at different anatomic sites.
