Titers of plasma IgG and mucosal sIgA against the spike protein (S) of SARS-CoV-2 prototype strain and BA.1, BA.1.1, BA.2, BA.2.12.1, BA.2.75, and BA.4/5 were evaluated using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as previously reported [13 (link)]. The optimal coating concentration of S protein of SARS-CoV-2 prototype strain and Omicron sublineages (ACROBiosystems, Beijing, China) were 50 ng. The optimal plasma dilutions were 1/400. The second antibodies were horseradish peroxidase conjugated goat anti-human Fc specific polyclonal IgG or goat rabbit anti-human α chain specific polyclonal IgA (Sigma Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA), respectively.
