Humoral Differences between Moderate and Severe Disease
(A) The polar plots depict the mean percentile of each antibody feature at each interval across the moderate (top) and the severely (bottom) infected individuals. The major slices 1–6 cover antigen-specific isotypes and subclasses, 7–11 antigen-specific antibody Fc receptor binding, and 12–16 antigen-specific antibody-mediated functions. For segments 1–11, antigen specificities repeat in the following order: S, RBD, N, S1 trimer, S1, and S2. For segments 12–16 antigen specificities are repeated S, RBD, and N. The size of the wedge depicts the mean percentile ranging from 0–1. On the right, non-parametric combination global p values are shown, composed of Mann-Whitney U test p values for partial tests within each feature type and using the Fisher method for combination (∗p < 0.05).
(B) Normalized antibody levels are shown over time, by days after symptom onset for the moderate and severe groups. Each dot is an individual measurement, the lines show smoothed non-parametric regression models (loess), and the color indicates the antigen specificity.
(C) The ROC curve shows the model performance in a cross-validation framework. In light blue are the ROC curves for each replicate and the orange represents the mean ROC curve showing overall performance. Mean AUC is reported using the mean ROC curve. Classification accuracy was compared to permutated data, and significance was assessed using exact p values of the tail probabilities (∗p < 0.05). TPR, true positive rate; FPR, false positive rate.
(D) Features most often selected during the classification process. In yellow are features enriched in the individuals with severe infection, and in blue are features enriched in the moderates.
