Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Thank tou for interesting work.

The test on human pulmonary cell will be more intetesting, but your researche are new and also very interesting.

More tests shuold be performed .

Author Response

Thanks for your advice. We have added a short part to the introduction. We also realized more tests should be performed to make the work better, for example animal work, which is in our future plan. As the current study, we feel the conclusion is clear for the in vitro study.

Reviewer 2 Report

The authors aimed to test SARS-CoV-2 induced antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) in vitro using convalescent COVID-19 patient serum samples in a list of FcγR-expression leukocytes, in the view to contributed to the understanding of the pathogenesis of SARS-COV-2 in the context of viral treatment and control.

The study covers some issues that have been overlooked in other similar topics. The structure of the manuscript appears adequate and well divided in the sections. The methodology is well described with enough experimental data and results to support the work.

Conclusion Section: This paragraph is missing. Please add it.

Author Response

Thanks for pointing out.  A paragraph for conclusion has been added to the discussion part.
