Role for anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the disease course of COVID-19 As disease states progress from preinfection through to critical illness (blue boxes), the potential for antibodies to mitigate illness decreases (dark blue arrow) as pathology transitions from being virally mediated, where antiviral acting therapies are most effective (green triangle), to a hyper-inflammatory state best treated with immunomodulatory therapies (orange triangle).
