Figure Lengend Snippet: ELISAs were carried out using patient sera to investigate A) anti-PUUV IgM, B) anti-PUUV IgA, C) anti-SEOV IgM, and D) anti-SEOV IgA. IgG subtype ELISAs were performed to investigate the quantities of anti-PUUV E) IgG1, F) IgG2, G) IgG3, or H) IgG4. I) A schematic of the luciferase-based reporter assay, which was utilized to characterize the effector activity promoted by patient sera. RVSV-PUUV infected Huh.75 cells were incubated with patient sera and reporter cells that express the FcγRIIIa receptor, coupled to a gene expression pathway that results in the production of luciferase. J ) The FcγRIIIa activity of the sera re shown as AUCs, with the mean and standard deviation denoted by error bars. 11 age and sex matched healthy control sera were included as negative controls, and an in-house, anti-PUUV monoclonal antibody was used as a positive control. AUC values were log10 transformed and statistical significance was interrogated via ordinary one-way ANOVA using a Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. Only comparisons with p ≤ 0.05 are shown. Limits of detection (LOD) are shown as dotted lines on each graph. The percentage of serum samples with LODs above the limit of detection are shown as pie charts with the percentage of positive samples displayed in green. The n for each time point is displayed below each pie chart.
Article Snippet: When assaying other immunoglobulin subtypes, anti-human IgA HRP (Sigma-Aldrich, A0295, 1:3000), anti-human IgM HRP (SouthernBiotech, 2020-05, 1:3000), anti-human IgG1 (Southern Biotech, 9054-05, 1:5000), anti-human IgG2 (Southern Biotech, 9060-05,1:5000), anti-human IgG3 (Southern Biotech, 9210-0, 1:5000), or anti-human IgG4 (Southern Biotech, 9200-05, 1:5000) were used.
