Fig. 6. Distribution of IFN-γ released from activated T-cells and correlation with antibody responses.

Fig. 6

ac IFN-γ levels collected before (6-month round; green) or after (12-month round; yellow) of the third dose administration, represented in log10(mIU/ml), in infection-naive individuals (n = 115 and n = 650 biologically independent samples before and after the third dose administration) (a), individuals previously infected with a variant before Omicron (n = 23 and n = 122 biologically independent samples before and after the third dose administration) (b), and in individuals infected with Omicron (n = 23 and n = 98 biologically independent samples before and after the third dose administration) (c). Circles represent observed data. Data reported as median and interquartile range (box), whiskers represent 1.5 times the interquartile range. Dashed horizontal line indicates assay positivity threshold. P-values were calculated using Mann-Whitney U test (two-sided). Correlation between IFN-γ levels with IgG (d) and IgA levels (e) at 6-month round. Correlation between IFN-γ levels with IgG (f) and IgA levels (g) at 12-month round. Blue, red, yellow colors represent infection-naive individuals, individuals infected before Omicron, and individuals infected with Omicron, respectively. Black color represents overall Spearman Rank test results. Circles represent observed data. Shadowed areas represent the 95% confidence interval. P-values were calculated using Spearman Rank test (two-sided). p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
