Table 6.

Table showing the Linear Regression Conversion Models to calibrate to WHO IS units and then assay linearity range for extrapolating concentrations.

Antibody Linear Regression Model (BAU Conversion Model) Linearity Range (ng/ml) CV % Range Adjusted R2
S-IgG Conc BAU/ml = 0.080429 + 0.018729 * Conc ng/ml 100 – 1.0 14.38% - 7.26% 1.00
S-IgM Conc BAU/ml = 0.465119 + 0.036897 * Conc ng/ml 1000 – 0.320 16.40% - 0.17% 0.9964
S-IgA Conc BAU/ml = -0.035959 + 0.190851 * Conc ng/ml 1000 – 8.0 18.82% - 0.08% 0.9944
N-IgG Conc BAU/ml = 0.252450 + 0.011651 * Conc ng/ml 100 – 1.0 21.33% - 0.33% 0.9999
N-IgM Conc BAU/ml = -1.808749 + 0.615273 * Conc ng/ml 1000 – 1.6 8.22% - 0.42% 0.9998
N-IgA Conc BAU/ml = 0.378230 + 0.622280 * Conc ng/ml 1000 – 8.0 17.39% - 0.09% 0.9953
RBD-IgG Conc BAU/ml = 0.834818 + 0.025888 * Conc ng/ml 1000 – 10.0 6.13% - 0.37% 0.9999
RBD-IgM Conc BAU/ml = 0.539426 + 0.031529 * Conc ng/ml 1000 – 1.6 12.32% - 0.04% 0.9980
RBD-IgA Conc BAU/ml = 0.053400 + 0.491130 * Conc ng/ml 1000 – 10.0 6.22% - 0.13% 0.9999

Table 6 shows the linear Conversion models (column 2) for each of the antibodies. For S-IgG, the linear model is Conc (in BAU/ml) = 0.080429 + 0.018729 * Conc (in ng/ml). This implies given a spike IgG Concentration of 1000 ng/ml, the above linear model can be used to get the equivalent spike IgG Concentration in BAU/ml as 0.080429 + 0.018729 * 1000 = 18.80943 BAU/ml. Columns 3, 4 and 5 show that linearity rages were achieved for all antibodies, their associated %CV and coefficient of determination (R2) are indicated.
