Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) NT 50 values for maternal and cord blood paired samples from SARS-CoV-2–infected (CoV-2 + ; n = 50 dyads) and vaccinated mothers (Vac, n = 6 dyads). ( B ) NT 50 for CoV-2 + maternal samples segregated by gestational age of infection ( n = 50). ( C ) Anti-RBD IgG transfer ratio in the presence (Sym) or absence (Asym) of symptoms in ongoing maternal infections (3O, n = 24). ( D ) Total IgG transfer ratio in the presence (Sym) or absence (Asym) of symptoms in ongoing maternal infections (3O, n = 35). ( E ) Correlation between maternal anti-spike IgA, IgG, and IgM and NT 50 in ongoing infections (3O, n = 35). ( F ) Correlation between maternal anti-spike IgA, IgG, and IgM and NT 50 in recovered infections (2R + 3R, n = 15). ( G ) Correlation between maternal anti-spike IgA, IgG, and IgM and NT 50 in vaccinated participants (Vac, n = 6). ( H ) Ratios of NT 50 values obtained from purified IgM and IgG fractions in maternal infections ( n = 33). ( I ) Ratios of NT 50 values obtained from purified IgA and IgG fractions in maternal infections ( n = 33). Data represent mean ± SD for parametric tests, or median ± IQR for nonparametric tests. nd, not detectable. NS, not significant. Significance determined by parametric paired, 2-tailed t test ( A ), unpaired, 2-tailed t test ( C ), nonparametric paired Wilcoxon’s test ( A ), Mann-Whitney test ( A , D , H , and I ), Kruskal-Wallis with post hoc Dunn’s ( B ), Spearman’s correlation ( E – G ), and Pearson’s correlation ( F and G ). Effect sizes were determined by Cohen’s d ( A and C ), correlation coefficient r ( A , D , H , and I ), and η 2 ( B ).
