Profile of viral load and antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 in the case patient. (A)(B)(C) Sequential changes of SARS-CoV-2 viral load in the throat swab, sputum, and throat wash by gargling. The SARS-CoV-2 viral load was determined using the protocol provided by the WHO (https://virologie-ccm.charite.de/en). Plasmids containing partial E, N, and RdRp fragments were used respectively as the standards to calculate the amount of SARS-CoV-2 viral load in the specimens. (D) Antibody responses of the present case. Antibody responses of the present case to viral proteins extracted from SARS-CoV-2 infected Vero-E6 cells were determined by the western blot.
