Functional neutralising antibodies were detected in a longitudinal subset, suggesting persistence of antibody-mediated protection in some individuals. Larger longitudinal studies with repeated functional immune assessments are needed to better define durable protection in West African settings.</p> 2026-03-18T23:06:26Z Dataset Dataset 10.6084/m9.figshare.31807732.v3 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/_b_Serological_responses_to_SARS-CoV-2_in_urban_and_rural_Ghana_antibody_waning_and_implications_for_long-term_population_immunity_b_/31807732 CC0
