ADCP was measured as previously described (75 (link)). Briefly, biotinylated SARS-CoV-1 or SARS-CoV-2 prefusion-stabilized S trimer was incubated with red streptavidin-fluorescent beads (Molecular Probes) for 2 h at 37 °C. Ten microliters of a 100-fold dilution of beads–protein was incubated for 2 h at 37 °C with 100 μL of 8,100-fold (SARS-CoV-2) or 900-fold (SARS-CoV-1) diluted plasma samples before addition of THP-1 cells (20,000 cells per well; Millipore Sigma). After 19 h incubation at 37 °C, the cells were fixed with 2% formaldehyde solution (Tousimis), and fluorescence was evaluated on an LSRII flow cytometer (BD Bioscience). The phagocytic score was calculated by multiplying the percentage of bead-positive cells by the geometric mean of the fluorescence intensity of bead-positive cells and dividing by 10,000.
