Despite SARS-CoV-2 being a "novel" coronavirus, several studies suggest that detection of anti-spike IgG early in infection may be attributable to the amplification of humoral memory responses against seasonal hCoVs in severe COVID-19 patients.In this study, we examined this concept by characterizing anti-spike IgG from a cohort of non-hospitalized convalescent individuals with a spectrum of COVID-19 severity.We observed that anti-spike IgG levels pos. correlated with disease severity, higher IgG cross-reactivity against betacoronaviruses (SARS-CoV-1 and OC43), and higher levels of proinflammatory Fc gamma receptor 2a and 3a (FcγR2a & FcγR3a) activation.In examining the levels of IgG targeting betacoronavirus conserved and immunodominant epitopes vs. disease severity, we observed a pos. correlation with the levels of IgG targeting the conserved S2'FP region, and an inverse correlation with two conserved epitopes around the heptad repeat (HR) 2 region.In comparing the levels of IgG targeting non-conserved epitopes, we observed that only one of three non-conserved immunodominant epitopes correlated with disease severity.Notably, the levels of IgG targeting the receptor binding domain (RBD) were inversely correlated with severity.Importantly, targeting of the RBD and HR2 regions have both been shown to mediate SARS-CoV-2 neutralization.These findings show that, aside from antibody (Ab) targeting of the RBD region, humoral memory responses against seasonal betacoronaviruses are potentially an important factor in dictating COVID-19 severity, with anti-HR2-dominant Ab profiles representing protective memory responses, while an anti-S2'FP dominant Ab profiles indicate deleterious recall responses.Though these profiles are masked in whole antigen profiling, these analyses suggest that distinct Ab memory responses are detectable with epitope targeting anal.These findings have important implications for predicting severity of SARS-CoV-2 infections (primary and reinfections), and may predict vaccine efficacy in subpopulations with different dominant antibody epitope profiles.
