Relative ratios, seroconversion and proportion of patients attaining the median convalescent serum levels for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies after BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273 vaccination
Weeks after second dose | Antibody | Relative ratio, median (IQR)* | No. (%) of patients with seroconversion† | No. (%) of patients who reached convalescent level‡ | |||

Anti-NP | – | – | 12 (17) n = 70 | 10 (12) n = 87 | 6 (9) n = 70 | 4 (5) n = 87 | |

Note: IQR = interquartile range, NP = nucleocapsid protein, RBD = receptor binding domain.
↵* We did not report summary statistics for anti-NP because it was used as a binary measure of natural SARS-CoV-2 infection.
↵† Antibody levels are reported as relative ratios to synthetic standards. Seroconversion threshold levels represented a positive test and were 0.19, 0.186 and 0.396 for anti-spike, anti-RBD and anti-NP antibodies, respectively.
↵‡ The median level of antigen in convalescent serum was from a cohort of 211 patients in the general population with previous COVID-19 of all severities and represented a robust antibody response: 1.38, 1.25 and 1.13 for anti-spike, anti-RBD and anti-NP antibodies, respectively.
