aEffects for each factor represent separate linear mixed modeling (LMM) analyses where the natural log of C1q-fixation and each antibody response is regressed on the natural log of time (per month). These LMMs applied a random intercept for study participant, random slope for log time with an unstructured covariance parameter specified for the correlation between the random effects

bRegression coefficient (b) and standard error (s.e.) represent the percent change in C1q-fixation or antibody response for a percent increase in time
