*NA, not applicable; RBD, receptor-binding domain; SARS-CoV-2, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; S1, spike protein subunit 1; VNT, virus neutralization titer; –, negative; +, positive.
†An ELISA optical density value greater than or equal to the cutoff value of 0.4 is a positive result, and an ELISA OD value less than the cutoff value is a negative result. 
‡Neutralization titers of samples were determined by using the reciprocal of the highest dilution that resulted in >50% reduction of luciferase activity in pseudovirus virus neutralization. A VNT greater than or equal to the cutoff value of 16 is a positive result, and a VNT less than the cutoff value is a negative result.
