Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 4. Total IgG, IgM and IgA antibody responses against HCoVs S1 proteins in ICU and non-ICU patients. (a) Frequency of positive Ig response. IgM, IgG and IgA RIs to HCoVs S1 proteins for (b) SARS-CoV-2, (c) SARS, (d) MERS, (e) 229E, (f) NL63, (g) HUK1 and (h) OC43. A horizontal straight line represents the mean, and the bars represent the sem. Unpaired two-tailed t-tests corrected for multiple comparisons by the Holm–Šidák correction were used to compare the ICU and non-ICU patients. (i) Heatmap analysis of the average of total IgG, IgM and IgA antibody responses against HCoVs S1 subunits. Yellow, green and blue indicate high, medium and low positivity index average values according to the scale of log2 of RIs. Significance levels *: 0.01≤P≤0.05, **: 0.001≤P<0.01 and ***: P<0.000.1.
Article Snippet: The microspheres in the other plate were incubated with 50 μl of assay buffer containing 1 μg ml−1 of PE- labelled mouse monoclonal antibody B3506B4 anti- IgA1 Fc (SouthernBiotech, catalogue # 9130–30) and 1 μg ml−1 of APC- labelled mouse monoclonal antibody A96042 anti- IgA2 Fc (SouthernBiotech, catalogue # 9140–31).
