a: Change in geometric mean concentration, modelled through a log-linear regression model for repeated measures, with unstructured variance-covariance matrix and adjusting for baseline.
1: Geometric mean concentration
2: p-value testing homogeneity of trends between subjects with and without previous SARS-CoV-2 infection.
3: p-value testing homogeneity of geometric mean values in IgG and IgA between subjects with and without previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, at each time.
