• [Pre-print, not peer-reviewed] Children and adolescents with mild or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection (n = 69) had robust IgM, IgA, and IgG antibody responses to a range of antigens at the time of infection, and at 2- and 4- month follow-up. Neutralizing activity was still detectable 4 months after infection in 94% of participants, and antibody responses were similar or superior to those observed among 24 adults with mild symptomatic illness.
