Variable Legend

chevron-rightTimepoint 🕙hashtag

Variables

  • Timepoint

Description

  • This variable represents the day the sample was acquired after a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR test was received

  • Most donors had samples taken at

    • Day 1: When donor tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 (Within acute phase of infection)

    • Day 28: ~ 1 month post infection (near start of convalescent phase)

    • Day 56: ~ 2 months post infection

    • Day 90: ~ 3 months post infection

    • Day 120: ~ 4 months post infection

    • Day 180: ~ 6 months post infection

chevron-rightDisease Severity 😷hashtag

Variables

  • Disease severity

Description

  • Categorical variable describing the severity of the SARS-CoV-2 symptoms experienced by the donors

  • The donors would be classified as asymptomatic if no symptoms were present, and symptomatic donors were classified as mild or severe

chevron-rightClinical Symptoms 🌡️hashtag

Variables

  • Fever , Cough, Change or loss of taste, Anosmia, Fatigue, Shortness of breath, Nasal congestion, Sore throat, Myalgia, Arthralgia, Headache, Diarrhoea, Vomiting, Nausea, Chest pain, Anorexia, Asthma

Description

  • Categorical variables describing whether a donor reported having symptoms specific to SARS-CoV-2 infection

  • These variables are assigned binary values, with 0 indicating the donor did not present that symptom and 1 indicating that the donor reported that symptom when sample was taken

chevron-rightDemographics 👤hashtag

Variables

  • Sex , Age

Description

  • Sex: Donors were assigned as male (m) or female (f)

  • Age: Age of donor determined in years

chevron-rightPseudo-Neutralisating Antibodies 🛡️🦠hashtag

Variables

  • pseudoNA Abs

Description

  • A measurement of the concentration of neutralizing antibodies from a donor sample required to inhibit 50% of the infection by a SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus

  • Briefly, this experiment is performed by incubating a plasma sample from a donor with a lentivirus-based SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus particle expressing the spike protein. The mixture is then incubated with HEK 293 ACE2-transfected cells.

  • Neutralisation titers are reported as the reciprocal of the plasma dilution conferring 50% inhibition (ID50) of pseudovirus infection

chevron-rightAntibody-Dependent Effector Functions 🧪🛡️hashtag

Variables

  • ADCD , ADMP , ADNKA, ADNP

Description

  • A measurement of the effector function activity of the antibodies in relation to the neutralisation of the virus

  • Variable names:

    • ADCD: Antibody-dependent complement deposition

    • ADMP: Antibody-dependent monocyte phagocytosis

    • ADNKA: Antibody-dependent NK cell activation

    • ADNP: Antibody-dependent neutrophil phagocytosis

chevron-rightSARS-CoV-2 protein-specific T cell responses 🦠🔬hashtag

Variables

  • M T cells elispot , NP T cells elispot, nsp3b T cells elispot , ORF3 T cells elispot, S1 T cells elispot, S2 T cells elispot, Total pos T cells elispot

Description

  • These are variables that were measured using interferon-gamma enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISpot) assays. Specifically, this assay was used to measure T cells that recognize varying proteins in the virus

  • Variable names:

    • M T cells elispot , NP T cells elispot, nsp3b T cells elispot , ORF3 T cells elispot, S1 T cells elispot, S2 T cells elispot : The first term in the variable name (M, NP, nsp3b, ORF3, S1, S2) are SARS-CoV-2 proteins. Hence the T cells variables are measuring the number of T cells that specifically respond to their corresponding protein.

    • Total pos T cells elispot: Total T cells measured using the CEFT positive control peptides

chevron-rightDays post symptoms onset ⌛hashtag

Variables

  • Days pso

Description

  • This variable refers to the number of days after the onset of symptoms for a donor

chevron-rightImmunoglobin Assays - Antibody responses 🛡️🔬hashtag

Variables

  • S-IgA , S-IgG1 ,S-IgG2 ,S-IgG3 , S-IgG4 , S-IgM , S-IgA memB SARS-CoV2 , S-IgG memB SARS-CoV2 , N-IgG, S-IgG

Description

  • These variables refer to the concentrations of various immunoglobin antibodies with different targets

  • Variable names:

    • S-IgA: Concentration of immunoglobin A antibodies targeting the spike protein

    • S-IgG: Concentration of immunoglobin G antibodies targeting the spike protein

    • S-IgG1 ,S-IgG2 ,S-IgG3 , S-IgG4: Concentration of immunoglobin G subclasses targeting the spike protein

    • S-IgM: Concentration of immunoglobin M antibodies targeting the spike protein

    • S-IgA memB SARS-CoV2: Concentration of immunoglobin A antibodies produced by memory B cells specific to the spike protein

    • S-IgG memB SARS-CoV2: Concentration of immunoglobin G antibodies produced by memory B cells specific to the spike protein
