Abstract

Patients with lung cancer (LC) were reported to have a high case fatality rate (30-40%) from SARS-CoV-2 infection, raising the question of whether LC patients mount a weaker antibody response to natural infection and/or vaccination, compared to healthy controls (HCs). We previously analyzed antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination in several hundred healthy individuals, stratified by previous SARS-CoV-2 infection status. Using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to the full-length spike protein (PMC8183627, PMC7235504), we found strong responses to infection and a robust neutralizing antibody response to vaccination.
