Figure Lengend Snippet: Plasma IgG1 levels of two‐dose BNT162b2 vaccinees against (a) SARS‐CoV‐2 S Trimer, (b) SARS‐CoV‐2 S2, (c) SARS‐CoV‐2 S1, (d) SARS‐CoV‐2 RBD and (e) H1 (Cal/09) measured with 4E3, HP6001, HP6069, or MTG1218 anti‐IgG1 clones. Mann–Whitney U ‐tests were performed between G1m1,17/G1m1,17 and G1m‐1,3/G1m‐1,3 individuals within each anti‐IgG1 clone. Fold changes indicate relative increases in antigen‐specific IgG1 detected in G1m1,17/G1m1,7 compared to G1m‐1,3/G1m‐1,3 vaccinees. Correlations between anti‐SARS‐CoV‐2 IgG1 levels measured with each of 4E3, HP6001, HP6069 and MTG1218 anti‐IgG1 clones for representative SARS‐CoV‐2 antigens (f) S Trimer, (g) S1. The Shapiro–Wilk test confirmed normally of data distribution and the Pearson correlation coefficient ( r ) was computed. Black dots represent G1m‐1,3/G1m‐1,3 individuals ( n = 11); Blue dots represent G1m1,17/G1m1,17 individuals ( n = 7). P < 0.0001 (****); non‐significant (ns).
Article Snippet: PE‐conjugated mouse anti‐human IgG1 (4E3 (Southern Biotech, 9052‐09) or HP6001 (Southern Biotech, 9054‐09)), PE‐conjugated mouse anti‐human pan ‐IgG (JDC‐10 (Southern Biotech, 9040‐09)), or biotinylated mouse anti‐human IgG1 (HP6069 (Merck, 411543‐200UG) or MTG1218 (MabTech, 3851‐14‐250)) were diluted to 1.3 μg mL −1 and added at 25 μL per well before incubation for 2 h at room temperature on a plate shaker.
