ADCP was measured as previously described77 (link). Briefly, biotinylated SARS-CoV-2 S stabilized trimer was incubated with red streptavidin-fluorescent beads (Molecular Probes) for 2 h at 37 °C. Ten μl of a 100-fold dilution of beads–protein mixture was incubated for 2 h at 37 °C with 100 μl of monoclonal antibodies diluted at 5 μg ml−1 before addition of THP-1 cells (20,000 cells per well; Millipore). After 19 h incubation at 37 °C, the cells were fixed with 2% formaldehyde solution and fluorescence was evaluated on a LSRII flow cytometer (BD Bioscience). The phagocytic score was calculated by multiplying the percentage of bead-positive cells by the geometric mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of the bead-positive cells and dividing by 104.
