Fig. 6. COVID-19 Ab responses in COVID-19-positive children and elderly.

Fig. 6

PLSDA scores (a) and loadings (b) plots for the children (n = 12) (orange) and elderly (n = 12) (dark blue) with an Elastic-Net-selected 18-feature signature (100.00% calibration accuracy, 91.37% cross-validation accuracy). Hierarchical clustering was performed using the 18-feature signature for the children and elderly cohorts (c). S1-specific antibody engagement of FcγRIIaR (d) and FcγRIIaR (e) were amongst the strongest features in the PLSDA loadings plot (b) and are significantly elevated in children (Supplementary Data 5 describes all comparisons between children and elderly). THP-1 monocyte cell line antibody-mediated uptake of spike-coated bead assay (f) and spike-expressing target cell assay (g). Statistical significance was calculated using the two-tailed Mann-Whitney U test and exact p-values were reported. S1-specific antibody engagement of FcγRIIaR, FcγRIIaR and the two THP-1 SARS-CoV2 spike Fc effector assays highly correlate with each other, as measured by two-tailed Spearman correlation (h). Multiplex assays were repeated in duplicates.
