![Figure 2 SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG+ B cells readily develop after infection with recurring B cell clones and a preference for the VH gene segment 3-30 (A) Scheme of longitudinal sample collection. The viral RNA load from nasopharyngeal swabs is indicated in red (copies [cp] per milliliter, right y axis). ∗The viral load for IDFnC1 is given as positive or negative result (see also Table S1). (B) Binding to the trimeric SARS-CoV-2 S ectodomain (ELISA, EC50) and authentic SARS-CoV-2 neutralization activity (complete inhibition of VeroE6 cell infection, IC100) of longitudinal purified plasma IgG samples. n.n., no neutralization as defined by IC100 > 1,500 µg/mL IgG. Bar plots show arithmetic or geometric means ± SD of duplicates or quadruplicates for EC50 and IC100, respectively. (C) Percentage of SARS-CoV-2 S ectodomain-reactive IgG+ B cells over time (mean ± SD; see also Tables S2, S3, and Figure S1). (D) Clonal relationship over time. Individual clones are colored in shades of blue and green. Numbers of productive heavy-chain sequences per time point are given in the center of pie charts. (E) Frequencies of VH gene segments (top), CDRH3 length and CDRH3 hydrophobicity (bottom left), as well as VH gene germline identity and IgG isotype of clonal and non-clonal sequences (bottom right) from all 12 subjects and time points. NGS reference data from 48 healthy individuals (collected before the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2) are depicted in red (see also Tables S1 and S2). Bar and line plots show mean ± SD. (F) Ratio of κ and λ light chains in non-clonal (top, gray) and clonal (bottom, blue) sequences (see also Figure S2).](/paper-figures/681cbdbc16ec4b5b9819447985f0457c/longitudinal-isolation-of-potent-near-germline-sars-cov-2-neutralizing-figure-2.jpg)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
