How the immune responses induced by SARS-CoV-2 and human coronavirus (hCoV) crosstalk is still unclear. Here the authors profile the humoral responses of prepandemic and SARS-CoV-2-infected donors to find that higher hCoV antibody titers are associated with SARS-CoV-2 negativity, and with reduced hospitalization in SARS-CoV-2 positive patients.
