ABSTRACT
We conducted this study to estimate seroprevalence of neutralizing antibodies in the general population and to further correlate it with the IgG SARS-CoV-2 IgG levels. This present cross-sectional analysis was conducted as a sequel to a state level community-based seroepidemiological study in Delhi, India. A total of 2564 seropositive samples were selected from 25622 seropositive samples through simple random sampling. Neutralizing capacity was estimated by performing a surrogate virus neutralization test with the sVNT (GenScript) assay. Neutralizing antibody against the SARS-CoV-2 virus was operationally considered as detected when the signal inhibition was [≥]30%. A total of 2233 (87.1%, 95% C.I. 85.7, 88.3) of the 2564 SARS-CoV-2 seropositive samples had detectable neutralizing antibodies. On bi-variate analysis but not on adjusted analysis, Covid-19 vaccination showed a statistically significant association with the presence of neutralizing antibodies (p<0.001). The signal/ cut off (S/CO) of SARS-CoV-2 IgG ranged from 1.00 to 22.8 (median 11.40). In samples with S/CO [≥]4.00, the neutralizing antibodies ranged from 94.5 to 100%, while in samples with S/CO <4.00, it ranged from 52.0 to 79.2%. The neutralizing antibody seroprevalence strongly correlated with the S/CO range (r=0.62, p=0.002). In conclusion, in populations with high SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence, neutralizing antibodies are generated in nearly 9 of 10 seropositive individuals.
